Hey, gang! We're back with another absolute slog of a film: Pixar's 2015 borefest The Good Dinosaur! Talking points include: who is sleeping on Pixar's beanbag chair, and why do they keep getting work? When is pastiche a boring cinematic device, and when is it an Italian pastry Misha wants to go down the street to buy? Finally, why can't movies seem to animate children that look and act their age? Check out our website and buy us a coffee! www.muchabuaboutnothing.comEmail us and tell us what you think! muchabuaboutnothing@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram! @muchabupodCover Art by Misha. Editing by Tyler. Theme Music: "The Devil's Defiance" by Ritchie Everett. www.epidemicsound.com Send us a textSupport the showThank you for listening!

It's been awhile! Sorry everyone for the big wait for our next episode...it is completely Tyler's fault. Here is one many fans have been waiting for. It's our look at Sleeping Beauty, from 1959! Misha fangirls over evil; Tyler mispronounces words and finds ways to make weiner jokes that are, arguably, passable at best; Both discuss the age of teens from the past and why they always sound like seasoned professionals; and more! Want to help the podcast?

This week Misha and Tyler sail away to the intensely problematic isle of Neverland and discuss Peter Pan from 1953. ***Apologies for the barking noises in the background at certain points. We tried the best we could to cut most of it out. Istanbul has many loud street dogs who do not care about quieting down when Tyler opens a window for a little bit of fresh air in the sweltering summer (also, Tyler didn't realize how loud the dogs were in the moment due to his headphones).
