Good Stuff: ENTERGALACTIC

or How to Stop Worrying & Make the Vibe Count

I always confuse Kid Cudi and Kid Fury from The Read podcast like on god, people need to get more crazy with stage names. This year marks rapper Kid Cudi's 8th studio album Entergalactic and he decided to produce a whole movie centered around it; something Gorillaz somehow hasn't done yet which baffles me. It was intended as a series, but they were smart enough to just compile all the chapters into a film which definitely worked. With that said, and the fact that upfront this looks beautiful, was this just a poor excuse to hustle a soundtrack? Well, if I know anything about the hustle,

Cudi spared no expense because this felt phenomenal

Initial visuals, designs and movement really showed that they were going for the style of Into the Spider-verse and they undoubtedly succeeded. Said this before, if Spider-verse was the gold medal, this is the victory lap and I'm so glad more features are really pushing against the whole realism era before to make the look and flow feel "less real" but more alive creatively. It still takes some getting used when the characters look like they're buffering with the frame rate, but when they flex it really pops off. There are even surprises within this film that I dare not spoil. Visuals alone, I seriously recommend watching this as High-Def as possible. If this was just a 90 minute music video, I would still watch it.

You can tell the artists got to pop off however possible

As you should know though, visuals aren't everything in film, so is there a story? Well, people keep saying this is When Harry Met Sally for black people but I never watched that movie. I just know that it's a simple romance about two stoner artists that fall in love and wonder if it's meant to be. When I say simple, I mean it because this is admittedly safe and predictable. Not bad, but I'm not a fan of the 2nd act monkeywrench that happens, especially when you can see it coming and I feel more focus could've been on our couple balancing love and careers as opposed to abruptly killing the vibe with asinine drama. And that's what this film is: such a Vibe. Everyone is mature, chill in discussing their matters, and even when problems arise, they don't make it such a big deal. The loudest things get is in the first third when our MCs are partying hard to celebrate their newfound successes. Otherwise, the film is all for a soft, intimate, relaxed tone that matches Cudi's R&B. What matters most is that you see what our MCs Jabari and Meadow of the movie see in each other and in the well-characterized New York they live in, and I can't hate this effective love story that personally resonated to me as a Black American.

Everything felt unified in making this feel beautiful

Now, word from the bathroom is that Kid Cudi is looking to (semi-)retire from music after Entergalactic to invest in projects like this film. Given what I've heard before, this year, I wouldn't exactly blame him. I would gladly see more styled features from this dude, this movie proved he can work out more than just music. I don't just want more stylized animations, I want more diverse talent flexing in more than just essentialist themes. Again, this isn't complex plotwise but the music, animation, and characterization make this matter more than I expected. If Netflix and Cudi are looking to make more of this, I'm all for it.

Hey since we’re talking about stylized movies with Puss in Boots 2 treading you guys should watch Entergalactic on Netflix

It’s an incredibly charming and down to earth (haha) film focused on the romance between two artists, their art being the source of some of the movie’s absolute best visuals. It also excels at character dialogue and the only reason I knew it existed is because of an offhand comment by a youtuber

Best of 2022! 

I haven’t done one of these in a while, and I felt like I should do a simple art collage for all the shows and movies I’ve seen this year. I think this was a good year for animation despite the bumps on the roads. Ready for 2023!  

Update: I forgot to add The House ,another great film.

This movie takes a while to get used to because it looks like you're watching a dimension in the Spider-verse where everyone swears and gets high
