A long-awaited threequel to our episodes on Wallace & Gromit and legendary film Chicken Run, our discussion on the final DreamWorks & Aardman collaborative feature film Flushed Away feels somewhat bittersweet to Alex, resident Aardman enjoyer, who laments that perhaps the soul of the Aardman way is lost on this film's exclusively CGI production. But it's perhaps the opposite for Iris, who finds herself joining Marcus and Michael as a member of the awful-early-2000s-animated-movie-enjoyers on this episode, and to be completely honest there's quite a bit to praise about this box-office bomb: it's still got that trademark British humor, its voice cast is superb, the characters are refreshingly mature and intelligent as they navigate their issues, and the slugs perform an ingenious role in this film that Despicable Me's Minions will never come close to mimicking. Perhaps next time we'll be recording from the UK! Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.

Russell Brand was once Hollywood's wildest and most controversial provocateur. Today, after battling severe addiction and facing scrutiny over his past, he has emerged as a sober family man, a devout Christian, and a vocal advocate for the MAHA movement. But the shadows of his past still haunt him in the headlines – and Russell is finally coming clean by addressing the sins of celebrity and fame. Dr. Drew reunites with Russell Brand for their first interview together in years. Taking a clinical and empathetic look at Russell's journey, they dive deep into the psychology of addiction, the reality of making mistakes, and the difficult but necessary path to redemption. Brand opens up about his conversion story, the lessons in his new book “How To Become A Christian In 7 Days“, and how he is pushing back against the media mob by focusing on truth, recovery, and spiritual health. Patrick and Ashley Sullivan, executive producers of the docuseries Breaking Big Food, join the show to expose how Big Tobacco quietly took over Big Food. They share the shocking evidence of how our food system is driving chronic illness, why the MAHA movement is right about the sugar epidemic, and how to fight back.

Paranoid American joins us on Wake the Dead for the first time. He is a talented artist and creator of 'conspiracy' themed comic books. He used to work for the mass mind control known as Disney as an animator. His years of being in the business and deep knowledge of all the conspiracy rabbitholes makes him a wonderful guest. We discuss the film Despicable Me and it's symbolic elements as well as the wider genre of children's cartoons. We discuss how films like these can so easily captivate their young viewers. Children are the easiest to fool and these images build the child's view of the world they will grow up in. If they want to program the future slaves, they need to push the symbols into their heads while they're young.Find Paranoid American here:https://paranoidamerican.comhttps://www.patreon.com/cw/ParanoidAmericanhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/Paranoid-American/author/B09N2W1JPN?ccs_id=ce4d782b-bd58-4ea8-ba61-6e2e8a716638https://www.youtube.com/@ParanoidAmericanhttps://rumble.com/c/c-3337772https://x.com/ParanoidAmericahttps://www.instagram.com/ParanoidAmericanIn this Christmas season, please consider donating to Sean McCann and Wake the Dead!https://onegreatworknetwork.com/sean-mccann/donate/BTC (bitcoin) address: 3Ptmi463Pu6HH1duop7rCKaxBriQkb4inahttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/wakethedeadhttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/seanmccannabisVisit Wake the Dead's store!https://wakethedead.creator-spring.com/Find Sean McCann on X:https://twitter.com/SeanWakeTheDeadJoin the Wake the Dead telegram:https://t.me/wakethedeadpodcastJoin the Wake the Dead guilded server:https://www.guilded.gg/i/kJWaQzmp

Films for children and young adults are giving a major boost to cinemas. The recent A Minecraft Movie smashed records, making $301 million globally in its opening weekend - the biggest ever for a video game adaptation. In 2024, Inside Out 2 led the global box office earning $1.69 billion, followed by Despicable Me 4 and Kung Fu Panda. Now, film studios are following these trends; fast-tracking sequels, producing more animations, and adapting popular video games into stories geared towards family audiences.We speak to film producers, box office analysts and cinema operators about the strategies behind this shift and its impact on the industry.If you'd like to contact the show, send an email to businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresenter: Megan Lawton Producer: Sam Gruet(Picture: General view of a roadside billboard along the Sunset Strip promoting A Minecraft Movie, in April 2025, in West Hollywood, California, US.

Joe Ochman is an American actor who is most active in voice over roles in various animation shows, films, and video games. He is the fourth and current voice of Jiminy Cricket since 2014.Within a mural of a Ghorlectipod, or Ghorman spider from the planet Ghorman, if one looks closely, the body of the spider is the face of an iconic Star Wars villain - Darth Maul. X (formerly Twitter) user Jammin333 noted that the mosaic design is a deliberate homage to Darth Maul.“Andor production designer Luke Hull shared one of the gorgeous Ghorlectipod spider mosaics from the Ghorman cafe. This one appears to embody Darth Maul, who at one point in The Clone Wars became half cyber-spider. Love the design details down to the inverted crescent moon chin,” Jammin333 said in their post.During the Saturday update, Rebirth received another prediction, with the film looking at a worldwide opening of $312.5 million, ahead of the initial projection of $260 million. That leads to the second-biggest global opening of the year, just behind A Minecraft Movie, which dangerously neared $1 billion and ended its run at $953.1 million, and ahead of Lilo & Stitch, which is soon set to surpass the former as it has already grossed $951.5 million worldwide.Rebirth won't have the biggest opening in the Jurassic franchise, as it trails behind Jurassic World's $525 million. The film also has the second-best offshore opening so far, behind the Chinese animation Ne Zha 2, and ahead of Lilo & Stitch. Jurassic World Rebirth also had the best Fourth of July haul for a No. 1 film post-COVID-19, and it outranked 2024's Despicable Me 4.

A small, yellow creature that appears in the Despicable Me and Minions films. It used to mean: A loved one; one highly esteemed and favoured. […]
Today, we chat with Matt Johnson - Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Haymaker - the independent, Emmy-winning, full-service advertising agency.Matt takes us through Haymaker's origin story: from launching with no clients or office to growing into a respected agency over the past eight years. With a background at industry heavyweights like 180LA and 72andSunny, Matt brings a wealth of experience and insight into what it takes to see ideas through towards proven results. We discuss standout projects like Pluto TV's Proud to be a Potato, 23andMe's Despicable Me crossover: Genetically Me, and the promotion of the digital release for John Wick 2 as one of their first jobs as a new agency. He unpacks how bold ideas, collaboration, and risk-taking played pivotal roles along the way - also sharing the value of failure, stressing the importance of taking a learner's stance rather than an expert's stance.Matt also gives practical examples on how he navigates the rapid pace of agency work, the impact of having supportive partners, and the importance of a collaborative culture that iterates ideas into the best product possible.Trust us, this is one you don't want to miss.Links:Pluto TV | Proud to be a Potato23andMe | Genetically Me - with Illumination EntertainmentJohn Wick 2 | Digital ReleaseSeattle's Best Coffee | Smoother Days with Joel McHaleEpisode Edited by Jake Petschjakepetsch.com | petsch.jake@gmail.comIf you want a shoutout in a future episode please leave us a written review on Apple podcasts.

Pharrell Williams is a Grammy-winning songwriter, producer, and performer. Getting his start in music alongside Chad Hugo as the production duo known as The Neptunes in 1992, Pharrell has produced chart-topping hits for artists including Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and Snoop Dogg. He has co-composed the music for the Despicable Me film franchise, including hit “Happy,” which became the best-selling song of 2014 and earned Pharrell an Oscar nomination. Pharrell's collaborations with Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Gwen Stefani, alongside his work as a solo artist and frontman for alternative band N.E.R.D., have solidified his reputation as a creative force in the music industry. With 13 Grammy wins and two Oscar nominations, Pharrell continues to progress the sounds of post-new jack swing, R&B and rap, and pop. Currently, Pharrell serves as the creative director of Louis Vuitton, and he has recently announced his role as a co-chair for next year's Met Gala alongside Lewis Hamilton and Anna Wintour. In October, his animated biopic Piece by Piece, a collaboration with LEGO, premiered alongside its titular song by Pharrell. The film is now available for rent or purchase to enjoy at home.

Pharrell Williams is—well, let me just say, he's a big reason why Song Exploder exists. He's a singer, songwriter and producer, and in the 90s, when I first heard the work that he was doing with the Neptunes, which was his production duo with Chad Hugo, it blew my mind. It made me want to know where those sounds came from and where those ideas came from. Pharrell has won 13 Grammys. He's been nominated for two Oscars. He's produced iconic songs for Kendrick Lamar, Britney Spears, Clipse, Gwen Stefani, and so many others. And on his own, he's made songs like “Happy,” the giant hit for Despicable Me that was the best-selling song of 2014. And now, there's a movie about his life called Piece by Piece. But it's an animated Lego film. For this episode, I talked to Pharrell about the title song from Piece By Piece. So, coming up, you'll hear how Pharrell built that song, including a first draft that never saw the light of day. You'll hear how he built “Piece by Piece” by programming it, on his own, with MIDI instruments, and then adding and replacing those parts with other musicians, including the high school marching band that he used to play in.

It's time once again for box office judgment day! Our friends BJ Colangelo, Germain Lussier, and Peter Sciretta return to the podcast along with the Filmcast crew to discuss this year's summer box office. Who will prevail to victory? Who will feel the agony of defeat? Listen to the show to find out! We're making video versions of our reviews!

You can find the history and play along at http://www.thesummermoviewager.com (thanks to Dennis for maintaining the site!) The general goal of this game is to predict the highest grossing films of the summer in terms of domestic box office, IN THE CORRECT ORDER. The closer you get to the final ranked order, the more points you get. This year, the summer movie wager began on May 2, 2024 (with the release of The Fall Guy) and lasted through September 2, 2024, Labor Day, as usual. Each of your 13 picks (10 movies and 3 dark horses) gets a single score assigned to it by using the following rules: If your picked movie for #1 OR #10 is correct, you score 13 points for it. If your picked movie for 2-9 is correct, you score 10 points for it. If your picked movie is only 1 spot away from its actual placement, you score 7 points for it. If your picked movie is only 2 spots away from its actual placement, you score 5 points for it. If your picked movie is placed inside the Top 10, you score 3 points for it. If your picked movie is not placed inside the Top 10, you score 0 points for it. For each of your picked dark horses placed inside the Top 10, you score 1 point. If two or more rules apply to a single pick, only that single rule will be applied which assigns the highest point value to that pick. For example: If your pick for #1 is correct, you don't get 16 points for it because it is #1 and because it placed inside the Top 10; instead you only get 13 points for it.

Gene Simmons and Bob Dylan have recorded vintage covers for the biopic Reagan, which will star Dennis Quaid as the actor who became the 40th president. Simmons will do the Lena Horne hit “Stormy Weather.” Dylan chose Cole Porter's “Don't Fence Me In,” a song popularized by Gene Autry, who happens to have been Quaid's third cousin. Creed's Scott Stapp does a cameo as Frank Sinatra in the movie, which comes out a week from Friday (August 30th). Joe Walsh was in Washington, D.C. last week for the 77th Committee Meeting of the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities. He posted a photo on Instagram with the caption, “Look Ma, I'm a Presidential Appointee! Looking forward to serving on behalf of American artists across this great land.” Walsh was appointed to the committee in April of last year. Bonham's sold a beautiful 1965 Ford Mustang convertible that was owned by the late singer-songwriter Tom Petty for $225,000 on Friday.

Don't hurt anything! Take it and put it out.'" MOVING ON INTO MOVIE NEWS: Alien: Romulus debuted big at the box office as it sets out to revive the classic franchise. The film is estimated to earn between $41.5 million and take the No.1 spot! It will also get bragging rights for toppling Marvel Studios' Deadpool and Wolverine from the top spot. The iconic fedora worn by Harrison Ford in 1984's 'Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom' sold at auction for $630,000! "Despicable Me" director Chris Renaud co-created the Minions. And he has a very specific wish for them: That they never make the jump to live-action. He says, quote: "For me, what defines the world is that it is animated and it allows us to get away with what we get away with . . . These are really cartoon ideas, like what would have been in a Bugs Bunny cartoon." Robert De Niro celebrated his 81st birthday by jumping off of a yacht into a body of water.

Don't hurt anything! Take it and put it out.'"MOVING ON INTO MOVIE NEWS:Alien: Romulus debuted big at the box office as it sets out to revive the classic franchise. The film is estimated to earn between $41.5 million and take the No.1 spot! It will also get bragging rights for toppling Marvel Studios' Deadpool and Wolverine from the top spot. The iconic fedora worn by Harrison Ford in 1984's 'Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom' sold at auction for $630,000! "Despicable Me" director Chris Renaud co-created the Minions. And he has a very specific wish for them: That they never make the jump to live-action. He says, quote: "For me, what defines the world is that it is animated and it allows us to get away with what we get away with . . . These are really cartoon ideas, like what would have been in a Bugs Bunny cartoon."Robert De Niro celebrated his 81st birthday by jumping off of a yacht into a body of water.RIP: John Aprea, who played young Salvatore Tessio in The Godfather Part II died on August 7 of natural causes in Los Angeles at age 83.AND FINALLYColdplay's current Music of the Spheres World Tour just became the highest-grossing rock tour of all time.
