Case and Jmike are joined by Doug Lief (from the Nostalgium Arcanum podcast) to talk about a family that's pretty super, The Incredibles!   Overview   In Podcast episode 142 of Men of Steel, hosts Case Aiken and Jmike Folson, alongside guest Doug Lief, delve into a comprehensive analysis of Disney's The Incredibles through the lens of Superman fandom. They explore the film's connections to other superhero media, notably its references to 60s Batman and Fleischer Superman, while debating the film's overall tone, which Case describes as having an 'angry' directorial voice. The discussion emphasizes Mr. Incredible as a Superman analog, revealing how his secret identity as Bob Parr reflects an average man grappling with superhero responsibilities amid family dynamics. The team draws parallels between the family members' powers and their roles, likening the villain Syndrome to a failed fan archetype obsessed with eliminating exceptionalism. Additionally, they analyze the film's aging animation, contextualize its place in the superhero genre before the rise of the MCU, and celebrate its blend of action and relatable family themes. The episode culminates in discussing the film's unresolved questions about the necessity of superheroes in society, concluding that it adeptly balances the extraordinary with the everyday.   Notes ‍️ Introduction and Context (01:12 - 15:47) Case Aiken and Jmike Folson host the Men of Steel podcast with guest Doug Lief The discussion focuses on Disney's The Incredibles (2004) from a Superman fan perspective Doug mentions the movie's connections to Watchmen and other superhero media The hosts establish that the film is a love letter to superheroes with influences from 60s Batman, James Bond, and Fleischer Superman Case acknowledges he likes but doesn't love the movie, finding it has an 'angry' directorial voice ‍️ Mr. Incredible as Superman Analog (15:47 - 24:52) The group analyzes Mr. Incredible (Bob Parr) as a Superman analog Bob Parr's name means 'average' - perfect for a secret identity His job at an insurance company creates dramatic irony (helping after harm vs. preventing it) The hosts discuss Mr. Incredible's durability, strength, and physical capabilities The film explores the tension between superhero responsibility and family obligations The 'Bob Parr' identity has real value to him beyond just being a disguise ‍‍‍ Family Dynamics and Powers (24:52 - 39:20) The Incredibles compared to Fantastic Four but with a nuclear family structure Each family member's powers serve as metaphors for their roles: Elastigirl must 'bend over backwards' for her family Violet wants to be invisible/blend in as a teenager Dash wants to show off and stand out with his speed Holly Hunter praised for her performance as Elastigirl The married couple dynamic shows mature flirtation and partnership Sarah Vowell's performance as Violet highlighted despite not being a professional actress Syndrome as Villain (39:20 - 54:00) Syndrome analyzed as Jimmy Olsen gone evil or fan-turned-Lex Luthor His character represents fandom and mediocrity wanting to eliminate specialness Syndrome observes and counters heroes' weaknesses but fails to examine his own His fatal flaw is wearing a cape, which Edna Mode had warned against The group discusses connections to Alan Moore's works (Watchmen and Captain Britain) Syndrome's robot compared to the squid from Watchmen's ending Brad Bird reportedly denies Watchmen influence despite many parallels Jack-Jack and Supporting Characters (54:00 - 01:03:00) Jack-Jack has godlike powers (17 documented in the sequel) Compared to Franklin Richards from Fantastic Four Jack-Jack helps defeat Syndrome at the end of the film Edna Mode (voiced by Brad Bird) praised as an excellent character Her role as the Q-like gadget designer who incorporates fashion The group discusses superhero costume design elements Frozone and his 'Where's my super suit?' scene mentioned Animation and Film Context (01:03:00 - 01:16:40) The film's animation shows its age (from 2004) but holds up well due to stylization Technical limitations discussed (water effects, foliage, crowds) The hosts note the film predates the MCU (2008) and Nolan's Batman (2005) The Incredibles came at a transition point for superhero cinema The movie successfully balances superhero action with relatable family dynamics Character designs discussed (Mr. Incredible's face based on a Roman helmet) Final Battle and Themes (01:16:40 - 01:26:47) The Omnidroid battle showcases the family working together effectively Team power moves highlight each character's abilities and their coordination The question of 'do we need superheroes?' explored through the final battle Dash's athletic participation at the end (coming in second) compared to Superman hiding his abilities The film doesn't fully resolve questions about exceptional people's place in society The ending shows balance between superhero and ordinary life is beneficial Conclusions and Wrap-Up (01:26:47 - 01:38:04) The Underminer appearance sets up the sequel and references Mole Man from Fantastic Four The hosts appreciate the film's commentary on superhero tropes ('you caught me monologuing') The movie works well as both a superhero film and a family story Discussion about how the film has aged and its historical context in superhero cinema Podcast information and social media contacts shared Recommendation for Books that Burn podcast from the Certain POV network

Audiences seemed mostly disinterested; critics were right on the fence; and the box office was generally unimpressive, all things considered. But who cares about all that stuff? How does Brad Bird's family-friendly sci-fi epic hold up after a particularly long eight years? My guest Rob Hunter (of the excellent Film School Rejects) offers a strong defense of this scrappily optimistic and undeniably beautiful-looking movie. (My apologies for using the word scrappily.)

Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney. Star Wars Marvel Pixar Over the years, Disney has gained a reputation for box office dominance with their various movie studios.  But not every movie is a winner. This week, we go back to 2015 to look at one of the rare box office flops for Disney . . . Tomorrowland. On paper, this movie should have been a home run.  It had a great director in Brad Bird, an A list star in George Clooney and a story that tied into the history of Walt Disney and Disneyland. And yet, despite all of the that, basically no one went to see it. So what went wrong? We watched (the surprisingly good)Tomorrowland to find out, so join us as we look back on one of Disney's lesser known films Submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode.

So who, exactly is government. It's the question that Michael Lewis and an all-star team of writers address in a particularly timely new volume of essays. Who is Government? According to the Montana based Sarah Vowell, author of “The Equalizer”, an essay in the volume about the National Archives, government enables all American citizens to find stories about themselves. Vowell praises the modesty of most government employees. But she warns, the work of public servants like the National Archives' Pamela Wright is anything but modest and represents the core foundation of American democracy. Vowell's message is the antidote to the chainsaw. Essential listening in our surreal times.Here are the five Keen On America takeaways in this conversation with Vowell:* The National Archives as a democratic resource: Pamela Wright's work at the National Archives focused on digitizing records (over 300 million so far) to make them accessible to all Americans, regardless of where they live. This democratization of access allows people to bypass intimidating physical buildings and access their history from anywhere.* Public servants are often modest and unsung: Sarah describes how government workers like Wright tend to be modest, team-oriented people who focus on doing their job rather than seeking recognition. This stands in contrast to more visible or self-promoting public figures.* Personal connections to national archives: The conversation reveals how Americans can find their own family stories within government records. Sarah discovered her own family history, including her grandfather's WPA work and connections to the Cherokee Nation's Trail of Tears through archival documents.* Government's impact on opportunity: Sarah emphasizes how government programs like the Higher Education Act of 1965 created opportunities that changed her family's trajectory from poverty to professional careers through access to public education and financial assistance programs.* The interconnectedness of government services and American life: The conversation concludes with Sarah's observation about how government services form an "ecosystem of opportunity" that impacts everything from education to outdoor recreation jobs in Montana, with each part connected to others in ways that aren't always visible but are essential to how society functions.Sarah Vowell is the New York Times bestselling author of seven nonfiction books on American history and culture. By examining the connections between the American past and present, she offers personal, often humorous accounts of American history as well as current events and politics. Her book, Lafayette in the Somewhat United States, explores both the ideas and the battles of the American Revolution, especially the patriot founders' alliance with France as personified by the teenage volunteer in George Washington's army, the Marquis de Lafayette. Vowell's book, Unfamiliar Fishes is the intriguing history of our 50th state, Hawaii, annexed in 1898. Replete with a cast of beguiling and often tragic characters, including an overthrown Hawaiian queen, whalers, missionaries, sugar barons, Teddy Roosevelt and assorted con men, Unfamiliar Fishes is another history lesson in Americana as only Vowell can tell it – with brainy wit and droll humor. The Wordy Shipmates examines the New England Puritans and their journey to and impact on America. She studies John Winthrop's 1630 sermon “A Model of Christian Charity” and the bloody story that resulted from American exceptionalism. And she also traces the relationship of Winthrop, Massachusetts' first governor, and Roger Williams, the Calvinist minister who founded Rhode Island – an unlikely friendship that was emblematic of the polar extremes of the American foundation. Throughout she reveals how American history can show up in the most unexpected places in our modern culture, often in poignant ways. Her book Assassination Vacation is a haunting and surprisingly hilarious road trip to tourist sites devoted to the murders of presidents Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley. Vowell examines what these acts of political violence reveal about our national character and our contemporary society. She is also the author of two essay collections, The Partly Cloudy Patriot and Take the Cannoli. Her first book Radio On, is her year-long diary of listening to the radio in 1995. She was guest editor for The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2017. Most recently she contributed an essay for Who Is Government? The Untold Story of Public Service by Michael Lewis (Riverhead, March 18, 2025). Vowell's thirty years as a journalist and columnist began in the freewheeling atmosphere of the weekly newspapers of the 1990s, including The Village Voice, the Twin Cities' City Pages and San Francisco Weekly, where she was the pop music columnist. An original contributor to McSweeney's, she has worked as a columnist for Salon and Time, a reviewer for Spin, a reporter for GQ, and a contributing opinion writer for the New York Times, where she covered politics, history, education and life in Montana. She was a contributing editor for the public radio show This American Life from 1996-2008, where she produced numerous commentaries and documentaries and toured the country in many of the program's live shows. Her notable side projects have included a decade as the founding president of 826NYC, a nonprofit tutoring and writing center for students aged 6-18 in Brooklyn; producing a filmed oral history series commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the Montana Constitutional Convention of 1972; and occasional voice acting, including her role as teen superhero Violet Parr in Brad Bird's Academy Award-winning The Incredibles, and its sequel, Incredibles 2, from Pixar Animation Studios.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

The backstory behind Ted Hughes's original book THE IRON MAN is a tragic one, and the subsequent film by Brad Bird has a heartbreaking story all its own.

“No capes!”Edna ModeIt's hard to believe that in this age where superhero movies have conquered (and some might say ruined) moviegoing in ways that never seemed possible even 20 years ago, but Disney and Pixar's The Incredibles was truly a revolutionary superhero movie. An animated film utilizing all original characters that lovingly plays with all of the tropes of the superhero genre in suitably comedic ways without ever drifting into parody? Unthinkable at the time and still feels pretty fresh today!But one of the best things The Incredibles (and its underrated sequel, The Incredibles 2) did, almost for the first time ever on the big screen, was explore the logic of superhero costumes. Even though it's a family-friendly animated movie, in The Incredibles, super suits are more than just decorative, they're functional, and thanks to the hilarious and unforgettable Edna Mode, we learned just why some of the favorite design elements of many beloved superhero costumes are strictly forbidden in this world.So on this episode of Does it Fly? we are taking a look at the very concept of the super suit. Not just the why of them in terms of the story, but the how in terms of design and functionality. And as we often do find, we're a lot closer to certain elements in the real world right now than you might think…SUGGESTED VIEWING We based the majority of today's research on this episode on two legitimate animation masterpieces, Brad Bird's The Incredibles and The Incredibles 2. The broader logic of superhero suits has been explored in countless other places, but it's particularly well done in early episodes of The Flash (both the recent CW TV series starring Grant Gustin and the earlier 1990 version starring John Wesley Shipp). We'd like to think that everything discussed in today's episode is applicable across superhero media, though, so feel free to use our findings in your own headcanon as and where appropriate!FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! Building the Perfect Super SuitHakeem specifically calls out brand names such as Kapton and Kevlar as being potential “super suit materials” that already exist in the real world. You might recognize Kapton as the material used to make “space blankets” but its unique thermal and conductive properties also make it a key piece used in circuitry where significant heat can be generated by processing power. Kevlar is best known as the material used to make lightweight bulletproof vests and other types of modern body armor. Copper has also shown considerable promise as an antimicrobial that can be incorporated into other materials.Whether or not you have elastic powers, you might want to incorporate technology known as Shape Memory Materials which are currently being perfected by NASA. Many of the materials named here fall under the category of “metamaterials” which will likely become more commonplace in the years to come.Oh yeah, and maybe one day some of these can make you invisible, too. And those “biomimetic sharkskin suits” that Hakeem references? The jury is still out on them.Why The Incredibles is HistoricTamara brings up the fact that The Incredibles was the first Pixar movie about human characters because of the difficulty in getting the subtleties of humans, such as hair, to look convincing on screen. Read more about it here.The Geneva ConventionsHakeem makes the point that superhero suits could also be seen as a way to identify “combatants” similar to the protections offered to soldiers under the Geneva Conventions.WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?This isn't the first time we've tackled superheroes on Does it Fly? so you might want to check out our episodes on Batman, The Boys, and Iron Man to get a better sense of the real world concerns that superheroes (and villains) might face.FOLLOW US!Stay in the loop!

Pappy, Brett, Josh, and $ Mikey review the Brad Bird animated classic: The Iron Giant! In this animated adaptation of Ted Hughes' Cold War fable, a giant alien robot (Vin Diesel) crash-lands near the small town of Rockwell, Maine, in 1957. Exploring the area, a local 9-year-old boy, Hogarth, discovers the robot, and soon forms an unlikely friendship with him. When a paranoid government agent, Kent Mansley, becomes determined to destroy the robot, Hogarth and beatnik Dean McCoppin (Harry Connick Jr.) must do what they can to save the misunderstood machine. Release date: July 31, 1999 (USA) Director: Brad Bird Adapted from: The Iron Man Story by: Brad Bird, Ted Hughes Production companies: Warner Bros., Warner Bros. Animation, Warner Brothers Distributed by: Warner Bros., Warner Bros. Pictures

We've decided to wrap up 2024 with a look at a few films that are celebrating their 25th anniversary this year. 1999 has become known as one of the best movie years of all time. While we've already touched on some of the biggest films of that year (THE MATRIX, FIGHT CLUB), there are a handful of films from that year that may not fit into one of our long form series, and we wanted to make sure they got their due. So for this (short) series, each of our hosts have picked out a film from 1999 that they'd like to discuss, starting with Todd's pick, THE IRON GIANT. Brad Bird's debut film has gone on to become a beloved animation classic, but its story didn't start that way: When it debuted in 1999, the film — thanks to a practically non-existent marketing campaign from Warner Bros — came and went from theaters with most audiences totally unaware of its existence. But in the quarter century since, it has not only managed to find an audience, but it's gained a reputation as one of the greatest animated films of all time. In this episode, we trace its origins (which involves, we kid you not, the death of Sylvia Plath and a Pete Townshend album), all the way through its development, release, and eventual rediscovery. We will also, as always, discuss our own thoughts and feelings on the film, its legacy, and the important lessons it has to teach us. Want to support the show?

Megan has never seen a MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE movie. Dan and Stephen are making her watch ALL OF THEM. That's right, as the final (?) film in the series slowly approaches, we will be going through the ultimate preparatory task. It sounds impossible, but we'll succeed, just like Ethan Hunt and the IMF gang! We have plenty of time, so this won't be a back-to-back-to-back project, but expect plenty of M:I talk over the coming year or so. This time we're covering Brad Bird's MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL. Ethan Hunt and his newly formed team of spies, hackers, and analysts must save the world using rickety gadgets, death-defying stunts, and a touch of prestidigitation. No help from Luther this time around, and no big bad villain either. How does this electrifying entry stack up against the rest of the series so far? What does an animation director bring to live-action cinema? Will the female lead return for the next movie? Do you even know her name?Be sure to follow the show on Instagram and Twitter @moviemoviecast, and head over to ScullyVision.com for updates on everything we do.

Directed by Brad Bird (in his directorial debut), The Iron Giant is the animated science fiction film based on the 1968 novel The Iron Man by Ted Hughes. Luke and Nathan revisit this 1999 classic which stars the voices of Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick Jr., Vin Diesel, James Gammon, Cloris Leachman, John Mahoney, Eli Marienthal, Christopher McDonald, and M. Emmet Walsh. A giant alien robot (Vin Diesel) crash-lands near the small town of Rockwell, Maine, in 1957. Exploring the area, a local 9-year-old boy, Hogarth, discovers the robot, and soon forms an unlikely friendship with him. When a paranoid government agent, Kent Mansley, becomes determined to destroy the robot, Hogarth and beatnik Dean McCoppin (Harry Connick Jr.) must do what they can to save the misunderstood machine.

Dana and Tom with returning guests Robb Conlon (Founder of Westport Studios and Host of B2B Business Class) and Walter Gainer II (Founder of Boss Locks Media and Host of The Working While Black Show) discuss the Pixar classic, The Incredibles (2004): written and directed by Brad Bird, music by Michael Giacchino, starring Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Jason Lee, and Samuel L. Jackson.Plot Summary: In a world where superheroes were once revered, an oppressive government now forces these titans of justice into mundane lives of obscurity. Among them is Bob Parr, a titan of strength, grappling with the weight of anonymity while craving the days of glory. Secretly slipping into the world of heroism, Bob is drawn into a sinister conspiracy masterminded by the malevolent Syndrome, a dark mirror of what once was. When Bob is captured, the stage is set for a battle of wits and power, drawing his family into the fray.The Incredibles transcends mere action, weaving a tapestry of psychological and existential exploration with a family's struggle against a dystopian reality becoming a cosmic odyssey of self-discovery and unity.Chapters:00:00 Introduction and Welcome to Our Guests02:58 Cast and Recognition for The Incredibles06:22 Relationship(s) to The Incredibles13:09 What is The Incredibles About?16:21 Ranking The Incredibles Among Pixar Films18:18 Plot Summary for The Incredibles19:42 Did You Know?21:17 First Break22:02 What's Happening with Robb and Walter24:44 Ask Dana Anything33:18 Best Performance(s)41:06 Best/Favorite/Indelible Scene(s)51:05 Second Break52:07 In Memoriam52:14 Best/Funniest Lines57:03 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy01:07:36 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance01:11:45 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty01:19:40 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness01:27:43 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability01:30:37 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total01:32:26 Remaining Question for The Incredibles01:40:14 Thank You to Our Guests and Final Thoughts01:43:00 CreditsGuests:Robb ConlonFounder of Westport Studios and Host of B2B Business ClassLinkedIn: Robb / Westport StudiosPreviously On: Alien (1979), Aliens (1986), The Godfather (1972), John Wick (2014), The Dark Knight...

The new Dreamworks animated feature THE WILD ROBOT is partially about the struggles of parenthood, partially about the joys of community, and the larger idea bridging those two parts — that of being more than you were “programmed” to be — is also what links it most directly to Brad Bird's THE IRON GIANT. But there's a lot more going on in THE WILD ROBOT besides that, arguably too much, which forms the central debate of the first half of this week's discussion. Then we bring THE IRON GIANT back in to compare these films' shared big ideas about selfhood, souls, and sacrifice, how they're filtered through robots as metaphors of strength, and their respective depictions of humanity on the precipice of apocalypse. Then for Your Next Picture Show, we offer a trio of recommendations for films that account for other parts of WILD ROBOT's source code. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about THE IRON GIANT, THE WILD ROBOT, and anything else in the world of film by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

It's understandable that new Dreamworks feature THE WILD ROBOT pulls some of its source code from THE IRON GIANT, considering the latter's towering reputation as one of the greatest animated films ever, robot protagonist or otherwise. But the enduring legacy of Brad Bird's debut feature was far from assured when it blipped through theaters back in 1999, so this week we're examining what's behind the film's upgrade from box-office flop to stone-cold classic, one known for its ability to reduce viewers to tears with a single word of dialogue. And in Feedback, a listener offers a different interpretation of a character moment from our discussion of THE SAVAGES. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about THE IRON GIANT, THE WILD ROBOT, and anything else in the world of film by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Chris and Alex return for a brand new season of the Fantasy/Animation podcast, beginning with this special episode on Ratatouille (Brad Bird, 2007), the eighth computer-animated film from Pixar Animation Studies and one of the studio's cleverest in how it uses the metaphor of food and cookery to discuss ingenuity, artistry, and what it means to value creativity. Topics on the menu include the Europeanness of Ratatouille's Parisian setting and how it departs from Pixar's previous depictions of modern American; anthropomorphic subjectivity and the impact of new points of view on the accessibility of virtual space; the film's symbolic rejection of Hollywood's industrial shift to motion-capture through its comedic fantasies of control and the framing of cooking as an art; and how Brad Bird's film incorporates both montages that “underdetermine” narrative acts and reflexive techniques that highlight Ratatouille's own status as a computer-animated construction. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo**

Azazel Jacobs' HIS THREE DAUGHTERS is, like Tamara Jenkins' THE SAVAGES, a film about the heartbreaking experience of caring for an aging parent, but even more so it is, also like the other film in the pairing, about adult siblings reuniting and renegotiating their relationships under those fraught conditions. We're decidedly more mixed on Jacobs' film, however, which often plays like a stage adaptation — at times that works, at others it doesn't, and we talk through both in the first half of this discussion. Then we bring THE SAVAGES back in to consider how each film is shaped by its relative proximity to the end of life, their overlapping perspectives on professional caretakers and those who deal with death for a living, and the realism and usefulness of their pop-cultural reference points. And in Your Next Picture Show we take a brief tour of Tamara Jenkins's short but mighty feature filmography to date.  Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about THE SAVAGES, HIS THREE DAUGHTERS, and anything else in the world of film by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

The late 90s had it's fair share of incredible animated movies that made up this host's childhood. These included, but definitely not limited to, Hercules, The Hunchback of Notre Dome, and the previously discussed on this podcast Prince of Egypt. But this months film is one, to quote a phasing I used to say,  went under the radar for me. Directed and co-written by Brad Bird, who would later go on to be an icon for Disney and Pixar, this movie tugs at the heart strings and captures the imagination to delve into very deep themes of death, grieving, and self defining against what you might have been made for. So put your Superman capes on and listen as we discuss…. The Iron Giant. Big thanks to special guest Marcel from the Reel Chums Podcast go check them out. They are currently doing a series that I liked to think was inspired by yours truly. Jk.

Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all of your favorite fictional universes. Hot off the heels of July's San Diego Comic Con, Disney continued their full court press last week with the D23 Expo, where a smattering of announcements were made. So, let's tackle the latest and greatest news from the House of Mouse's more geek-centric divisions Regarding Marvel Studios, Disney Plus was front and center, with a fair amount of official, as well as leaked footage, released; delighting fans worldwide: A fresh trailer for the WandaVision sequel series, Agatha All Along, debuted, accompanied by a live performance of an original song titled "The Ballad of the Witches Road." The Daredevil: Born Again trailer seemed to generate unanimous positivity, with hype moments such as the return of Jon Bernthal as the Punisher and Wilson Bethel as Bullseye. It also gave D23 audiences their first glimpses of the costumed vigilante White Tiger and a new villain, Muse. A first look at Ironheart also debuted, confirming the series is still on the way. Beside the return of Riri Williams, other new details include Anthony Ramos as The Hood and an appearance from Shuri. On the film side, the splash was not as big as SDCC, with much of that material being recycled, but new images and footage for both Captain America: Brave New World and The Fantastic Four: First Steps were showcased, which included a taste of Michael Giacchino's main musical theme for the quartet. Over in the galaxy far, far away: Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni showed off the first footage from The Mandalorian & Grogu, which will be the first new theatrical release for Star Wars since 2019, as well as the first based off of a Disney Plus series. The official trailer for the Jude Law-led Skeleton Crew debuted, giving fans a tease of the Speilbergian influence. We also learned more about Jude Law's character, a force user named Jod Na Nawood, via the plot synopsis. Lucasfilm also showed off some footage of the upcoming season of Andor, which confirmed more Rogue One character returns. Diego Luna also revealed the next season takes place over four years in a series of time jumps. Bringing it back to Marvel with their animation offerings, the D23 panel provided significant updates on several series: While Marvel Zombies is still “a while out” we now know it will be four episodes and rated TV-MA. Eyes of Wakanda will also be four episodes long. What If…? voice actor Hudson Thames, will reprise his role as Peter Parker for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, with Colman Domingo voicing Norman Osborne and Charlie Cox as Daredevil. The series will premiere November 2, 2024. Finally, honing in on Disney's “homegrown” projects, as Bob Iger promised, sequels were all the rage: Pixar won the day in terms of the amount of project news. A very brief Toy Story 5 teaser trailer indicated the return of Woody and Brad Bird was announced to return to direct Incredibles 3. Zoe Saldana joined the cast of Elio, which is now slated for May 2025. Hoppers was announced as the studios next feature, with Jon Hamm in a villain role. Dream Productions, an Inside Out spin-off series, and Win or Lose, a new series focusing on a little league team, were also announced. Trailers for Moana 2, Mufasa: The Lion King and the Snow White live action remake were released, as well as new details for Frozen 3 and Zootopia 2. Frozen 3 will get a pre-Thanksgiving release of November 24, 2027 and they released concept art. Plus Frozen 4 is already in early development and The “live action” version of Stitch from Lilo & Stitch also made his debut. On Saturday, Deadpool and Wolverine reached the milestone of becoming the second R-Rated movie in history to cross $1 billion dollars at the international box office. It is nipping at the heels of Joker to become the highest grossing R-Rated movie of all time.

We review The Iron Giant (1999) on The Atomic Cinema Experiment. This is a sci fi movie podcast. The Iron Giant is directed by Brad Bird and stars Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick Jr., Vin Diesel, Christopher McDonald patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mildfuzztv all links: https://linktr.ee/mildfuzz discord: https://discord.gg/8fbyCehMTy Email: mftvquestions@gmail.com Audio version: https://the-ace-atomic-cinema-experime.pinecast.co

If you are what you choose to podcast, then we choose to say a lot of nice things about Brad Bird's debut cartoon. As wonderful as the animation and the voicework are and as touching and emotional as the story is, The Iron Giant somehow failed at the box office. Maybe it wasn't funny or fun enough for people who were used to Disney style 'toons? Maybe it was too reliant on reminding us of other classics like E.T., Superman and Terminator 2? It also sets its scene in the '50s with a major theme of Cold War paranoia, which is heady stuff for kids. We applaud how mature The Iron Giant (usually) is though. One thing that's impossible to find fault with are the voice actors, led by young Eli Marienthal as Hogarth and Vin Diesel, who's perfectly cast as metallic voice of the Giant. In any case, our 602nd episode will do many things---including teach you a few facts about Maine---as we evaluate the goods and the greats about Bird's Iron Giant. Well, Actually: Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Cloris Leachman are in fact tied with 8 Emmys, which are the most for a performer.

In an age where Deadpool & Wolverine is set to smash box office records, it can be hard to remember what things were like in the first wave of superhero blockbusters. Costumes were primarily made of black leather, nu-metal montages were all the rage, and yet–there was a willingness and desire to be experimental that is often lacking today. That's the scene The Incredibles burst onto in 2004, with its dynamic color palette, its retro-futuristic atmosphere, and (shockingly) its sharply defined point of view. For the next nostalgic installment of That Was Then, Paul and Arlo are joined by The Deli Counter of Justice co-founder Eric Sipple to discuss Brad Bird's landmark entry into the superhero canon. The gang discusses how Bird and his team utilized relatively primitive CGI to striking artistic effect, how comic books were not the film's main influence, and how Hollywood learned all the wrong lessons from The Incredibles' success.   NEXT: let's head to 1994 for more That Was Then, as we gaze upon the horrors unleashed by the Oliver Stone/Quentin Tarantino collab Natural Born Killers.     LINKS The Cinematography of The Incredibles, Part 1 by Ron Doucet, Flooby Nooby Part 2 Part 3     MUSIC “The Glory Days” by Michael Giacchino, The Incredibles (Music from the Motion Picture) (2004) “The Incredits” by Michael Giacchino, The Incredibles (Music from the Motion Picture) (2004)     GOBBLEDYCARES National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/  Abortion Funds in Every State: https://bit.ly/AbortionFundsTwitter Support AAPI communities and those affected by anti-Asian violence: https://www.gofundme.com/c/act/stop-aapi-hate Support the AAPI Civic Engagement Fund: https://aapifund.org/ Support Black Lives Matter and find anti-racism resources: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ The Trevor Project provides information and support to LGBTQ youth: thetrevorproject.org Trans Lifeline: https://translifeline.org/  National Center for Transgender Equality: transequality.org Advocate for writers who might be owed money due to discontinuance of royalties: https://www.writersmustbepaid.org/  Help teachers and classrooms in need: https://www.donorschoose.org/ Do your part to remove the burden of medical debt for individuals, families, and veterans: https://www.unduemedicaldebt.org/  Register to vote: https://vote.gov/  

[School of Movies 2024] Cloon June continues with the slickest and arguably best Las Vegas heist movie. This 2001 remake of the underachieving 1960 Rat Pack original is less about establishing characters with any kind of arc and more about setting up the perfect mousetrap with eleven skilled individuals we can have fun with. It's a big old magic trick, with the prestige reveal to us, the audience being the punch that makes it satisfying. We weren't going to cover the sequels on the main feed, but we got curious and delved back into 12 and 13 for the first time since the cinema in 2004 and 2007, finding most of the best drama in there. And finally, a re-edit of our 2018 After School Club on Ocean's 8, featuring Toby Jungius. Finally, we round off with a dream-team cast pitch for a rebooted Ocean's 9. Next week, we make an unscheduled stop at Tomorrowland, to see what Brad Bird thinks of the future we wound up in. After that, extending Cloon June into July, Soderburgh and Clooney, along with Jennifer Lopez and composer David Holmes hit their absolute cinematic peaks with Out of Sight.

Mitchell Beaupre (Letterboxd, Paste magazine) is back to discuss 2015's Tomorrowland! Together we talk about the career of Brad Bird, optimistic blockbusters and why the movie didn't connect with audiences  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/exitingthroughthe2010s/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/exitingthroughthe2010s/support

Michael Giacchino is a world-famous composer who did both “Mission: Impossible III” and “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.” He is also a very cool guy. We talked to him about how he got involved with the franchise, working with filmmakers J.J. Abrams and Brad Bird, and his debut solo album. And yes, we also talk about the amazing track names on the score albums. This episode was originally released in November 2020.

It continues to be WHAT WOULD WALT HAVE DONE? MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney! And for our third belated episode of What Would Walt Have Done? Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1981 to pick an animated would-be classic that seemed to have everything going for it: a beautiful nature setting in the Bambi mold, a timeless parabolic story about the irrationality of bigotry, and a once-in-a-lifetime animation crew loaded with literally dozens of future directors. How could they possibly screw that up? Welp, dull dialogue, a meandering story, muddled character motivations, instantly forgettable songs, an inept fumbling of the anti-bigotry message, a side character who should've died inexplicably living, a pointless B-plot where two birds and a caterpillar do third-rate Tom & Jerry shtick, and what the hell, why not throw in some incompetent studio mismanagement that drove about a dozen animators to resign and form their own studio while we're at it, that's how. Meh, at least the furries got something out of it. Join Tony Goldmark, Dave Cobb, Charley Marlowe and Jacob Martin as they try to schedule a disastrous playdate for THE FOX AND THE HOUND!
