Have you ever wondered what happens when a beloved cartoon character takes on a corporate giant in a courtroom battle? Join host Kevin Reid in this riveting episode of The K. B. Radio Network as he delves into the live-action/animated film "Coyote vs. Acme," directed by David Green and featuring the comedic talents of Will Forte and Lana Condor. This film isn't just a nostalgic trip down memory lane; it's a fresh take on Wile E. Coyote's relentless pursuit of the Acme Corporation for selling him faulty products, a storyline that resonates with anyone who has ever felt wronged by a big company. Reid takes listeners on a journey through the film's tumultuous path to release, highlighting its initial shelving by Warner Bros. and eventual acquisition by another studio. He reflects on the impact of Looney Tunes on his childhood, reminiscing about the laughter and lessons these iconic characters imparted. As he unpacks the emotional depth of Wile E. Coyote's character arc—masterfully conveyed without a single word—Reid captures the essence of what made these cartoons timeless. With a keen eye for detail, Reid also points out the film's comedic highlights, particularly the standout moments featuring John Cena, who brings an extra layer of humor to the story. However, he notes that the live-action actors serve primarily as a backdrop to the animated antics, allowing the beloved characters to shine in their own right. This episode is a delightful blend of nostalgia and critique, as Reid offers a balanced perspective on the film, ultimately giving it a grade of C+. While he acknowledges the film's enjoyable aspects, he suggests that it may find a more suitable home on streaming platforms rather than in theaters. Listeners are encouraged to engage with the K. B. Radio Network, sharing their thoughts on "Coyote vs. Acme" and the film's unique approach to storytelling. Whether you're a die-hard Looney Tunes fan or just curious about the latest in animated cinema, this episode promises to entertain and provoke thought. Tune in to discover how this film captures the spirit of the original cartoons while navigating the complexities of modern storytelling.

From grants and early-stage investors to the “chicken or egg” problem of attaching talent, this is an honest look at the process most people don't see.I also dive into unconventional approaches like brand alignment—not product placement—and why I'm choosing to focus resources on the film itself instead of chasing content for the sake of visibility.This is about momentum, resource allocation, and doing whatever it takes to keep the project moving.If you're a filmmaker or creator trying to fund something ambitious, this one's for you.

Most movie debates are trivial—until you realize how fiercely we cling to our favorites. What if your all-time top flicks aren't just about entertainment but reveal your deeper tastes, biases, and identity? In this episode of Three on Three, Diandre Robinson and his friends dive into hilarious, wild, and surprisingly revealing rankings of 100 iconic movies. From childhood classics like The Lion King to gritty favorites like Goodfellas, they challenge each other with bold choices, heartfelt critiques, and shocking upsets—all while blending comedy, nostalgia, and genuine insight. You'll discover how categorizing movies by Rotten Tomatoes scores can spark unexpected rivalries: why Schindler's List sparks tears, why American Pie is more iconic than Goodfellas in the cultural lexicon, and which movies undoubtedly make fans want to defend their pick to the death. Get a behind-the-scenes look at their unpredictable tournament-style brackets—an emotional rollercoaster that exposes personal stories, cultural identity, and cinematic passions. This isn't just about movies; it's about how films shape our perceptions and bonds. We break down: hilarious ranking battles, the real reasons some movies triumph over favorite classics, and the personal stories linked to each choice. Why does The Lion King top the list? How does Forrest Gump sneak into the top three despite fierce competition? And what does your movie roster say about your values? These debates are about more than entertainment; they're cultural conversations about race, nostalgia, and what it means to truly love a movie. Why should you listen? Because in understanding these choices, you understand yourself—and the world around you. Whether you're a cinephile, a casual viewer, or just someone who loves good laugh-out-loud debates, this episode offers pure entertainment and unfiltered honesty. Plus, you'll get some fun, unexpected insights on Hollywood classics, hidden gems, and the movies that define generations.

What bizarre technique did Disney's artists use to make Tinker Bell glow? And what disturbing story elements did Disney change from the original novel when they created their feature film?On this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk, we follow the second start to the right as we explore the fascinating art, history, animation, and development of Disney's Peter Pan animated feature film. Along the way, we discover some bizarre truths about the original novel, find some unique connections between Peter Pan and another iconic Disney attraction, and hear some behind-the-scenes stories of how this film was created. This episode also includes excerpts from a 1953 document from Walt Disney explaining why Peter Pan was so dear to his heart and what it meant to him on a personal level. Kate gives us some insight into how Tinker Bell was created, Kirk explains the origin of the Lost Boys, and we take a moment to reflect on the similarities between two creative men and what a boy who didn't want to grow up meant to them. Join us LIVE on YouTube every week!
