Cohost Experience Uneven FLOW

We've got a rare total disagreement between co-hosts when it comes to FLOW, the highly praised Latvian animated feature that's up for Oscars for both Best Animated Film and Best International Film. Dolores found this dialogue-free tale of a housecat and several other animals trying to survive a disastrous flood moving, inspiring, and perhaps the greatest film this year. Whereas Eileen—who generally despises the whole movie history of animals being terrorized so we can be entertained and learn dubious lessons, going back to THE YEARLING and OLD YELLER—defies all critical and public opinion to declare her deathless hatred for this film.
