It's that time again, Podcast time with The Chronicle film Podcast. For Episode 028 Paul and Clotilde review Hirokazu Kore-eda's Monster and Oscar nominated animation Robot Dreams.

After a slightly longer wait between the previous episode (027) due to illness business returns to normality. We first start things off in Japan with Kore-eda's power drama thriller Monster. Who is the monster? The film stars Kore-eda regular Sakura Ando whom we last saw in Godzilla Minus One. She is a single mother who knows something is wrong with her son who is acting strangely. When she learns, this is because of his school teacher, she confronts the school. We do see the film from three different perspectives: the mother, the son and the teacher.

Who said Animation was just for kids? Who said it has to be gritty and violent? Watch the oscar nominated Robot Dreams directed by Pablo Berger, based on Sara Varon's graphic novel of the same name. We go back to the 1980's and Manhattan, we follow Dog who builds himself a robot companion . After a day trip to the nearby beach Dog is forced to abandon his new friend will the pair ever reunite?
