Keywords

💡Turning Red

Turning Red is a 2022 animated film by Pixar Animation Studios. It is the central subject of the video script, where the reviewer expresses dissatisfaction with the movie's lack of certain cultural references. The film is about a girl who turns into a red panda when she gets too excited, which is a metaphor for the awkwardness of adolescence. The reviewer's critique is that the movie does not include references to other movies or events from the year 2002, which they feel would have been relevant.

💡Mixed Bag

A 'mixed bag' refers to something that has both good and bad elements, or a combination of different types of things. In the context of the video, the reviewer uses this term to describe the movie 'Turning Red', indicating that while there are aspects of the film they appreciate, there are also elements that disappoint them, particularly the absence of certain pop culture references.

💡Cultural References

Cultural references are allusions or mentions of elements from popular culture within a work of art, such as movies, books, or music. The reviewer is upset that 'Turning Red' lacks references to other movies or significant events from 2002, which they believe would have enriched the film's context and relatability for audiences familiar with that time period.

💡Spider-Man

Spider-Man is a popular comic book character and the subject of a movie released in 2002, which the reviewer expected to be referenced in 'Turning Red' due to its setting in the same year. The lack of such a reference is one of the reviewer's points of contention, as they feel it represents a missed opportunity to connect with the cultural zeitgeist of the time.

💡Ice Age

Ice Age is an animated film released in 2002. The reviewer humorously questions why there isn't a scene in 'Turning Red' where the main character watches this movie, as they believe it would have been a part of the character's life in 2002.

💡Blade II

Blade II is an action film released in 2002, featuring Wesley Snipes.

💡Attack of the Clones

Attack of the Clones refers to Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, a film released in 2002. The reviewer is critical of 'Turning Red' for not including references to this film, especially since Disney, which owns the Star Wars franchise, also owns Pixar, the studio behind 'Turning Red'.

💡Blockbuster

Blockbuster was a popular video rental chain in the early 2000s. The reviewer speculates about a scene where the main character visits a Blockbuster store, which would have been a typical setting for movie rentals during the time period in which 'Turning Red' is set. This is another example of the cultural context the reviewer feels is missing from the film.

💡Osmosis Jones
