For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up is Shin Kamen Rider (2023), Hideaki’s Anno’s satirical take on the long-running tokusatsu superhero show, picking apart its conventions in similar to fashion to his prior film Shin Godzilla (2016). It follows a man who is transformed into a grasshopper-hybird cyborg and uses his newly-awakened powers to fight an evil organization intent on conquering the world. We watched and enjoyed Anno’s Cutie Honey (2004) previously, and this looks to scratch some of the same itch.

Next is Encanto (2021). Yes, it’s come to this: we’re watching a Disney cartoon. It follows the adventures of a Colombian girl who must save her magical family when danger looms, despite her lack of any magical ability herself. It has the usual songs and dancing, too. Director Byron Howard was also one of the guys behind Tangled (2010) and Zootopia (2016). Children have been obsessed with this one for the past few years, so let’s give it a whirl.

BONUS: We will also watch The Camerman’s Revenge (1912), a twelve-minute Russian stop-motion animation featuring an insect romance, using actual dead bugs as the characters.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:
