54 - Big Hero 6 (with Matt Holley)

There are robots, super heroes and Pacific Rim vibes in this 2014 feature set in the alternate universe city of San Fransokyo. Our old friend Matt joins us again as we finally touch on the impact of Disney’s acquisition of Marvel. Other topics include weird exposition dialogue, how grief affects characters, the elephant in the room that is John Lasseter and the potential for Evil Baymax in a hypothetical sequel.

39 - Dinosaur (with Matt Holley)

We apologize in advance to anyone who enjoys this 2000 CG-animated feature, but David, Kaela and special guest Matt Holley are not particularly big fans. They keep things fairly short this time around as they discuss the pros of wordless storytelling, the cons of anthropomorphic lips, the virtues of helping the elderly and how Ayn Rand gets utilized in a weird way.
