Joseph: King of Dreams (2000)
01:15:38 Share

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and William Thrasher discuss Joseph: King of Dreams. A direct-to-video prequel to The Prince of Egypt, Joseph: King of Dreams retells the story of Joseph from the book of Genesis. 

Led by his oldest brother Judah (Mark Hamill), Joseph (Ben Affleck) is sold into slavery as a prank. After cleaning floors, suffering in a pit, and explaining dreams, Joseph rises to prominence. Can he forgive his brothers when they need his help the most?

Although it looks similar to The Prince of Egypt, Joseph: King of Dreams is a much cheaper affair. Neither the music or the story is as captivating, although there are moments of wonder in the dream sequences. A more intimate story by its nature, this movie tries its best and ends up waffling around. Things get moving once Joseph is sold off as a slave in Egypt. 

Mat and Thrasher feel Deadpool 2 was a very good sequel emboldened by its more complicated story, greater variety of characters, and light tone. 

Mat enjoys 78/52 Hitchcock's Shower Scene, an in-depth scholarly documentary on the infamous shower scene from Psycho. He also has enjoyed the antics of master impressionist Sour Shoes on The Howard Stern Show.

Thrasher did not like revisiting Antz, finding it so boring he had to shut it off. He continues his voyage into the work of puppeteer Paul Fusco with the TV special A Far Out 4th; depsite some neat puppets, it too was a letdown.
