Podcasts about Dinotrux

Geektown Radio will be back next week, but before we return for the main show, we have some more interviews for you! This week, I'm chatting with the lovely composer, Jake Monaco.Jake Monaco is an American film and TV composer, who has worked on a huge array of projects, from some of the biggest film scores of the past decade, to children's TV shows, and everything in between. We've previously spoken to Jake about his work on Netflix's ‘Dinotrux', Amazon's ‘The Stinky & Dirty Show', along with working as a producer and composer of additional music for Christophe Beck, where he worked on things such as ‘Frozen', ‘The Hangover' trilogy, and ‘The Muppets'.His latest project is a bit of a departure from his previous work, as he scores National Geographic's ‘Incredible Animal Journeys', narrated by Hawkeye himself, Jeremy Renner, which you can find on Disney+ in the UK. This fascinating nature series follows the travels of a huge array of animals, from the humpback to the dung beetle, and many other species. We discuss Jake's approach to the soundscape of the series, and creating the music most fitting for each creature's journey.Since we last spoke to Jake he's also worked on several other projects for Disney, including ‘Cars on the Road', ‘Forky Asks a Question', and ‘Lamp Life', so we touch on those, and many of his other projects too.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/geektown.

In this week's chaotic symphony of opinions first impressions matter as we break down the Top 5 Opening Scenes in movie history. Whether the rest of the movie is a masterpiece or not, these scenes captured our attention from the outset. From Kevin Costner peeing into a cup and drinking it in the opening moments of WATERWORLD to the librarian from GHOSTBUSTERS to Michael's first kill in HALLOWEEN, literally none of these movies are mentioned.Five years after Steve McQueen's 12 YEARS A SLAVE won best picture at the Oscars, the director returned with WIDOWS (2018) which tells the story of four women with nothing in common except a debt left behind by their spouses' criminal activities. Hoping to forge a future on their own terms, they join forces to pull off a heist. Seeing well established genre tropes handled by a great cast and a serious director is a delight and I think it's interesting that this feels closest to artful crime movies like HEAT and THIEF, because those are movies obsessed with masculinity whereas this one is obviously about femininity. One thing that's noticeable is there's no macho competition between them like there would be if men were involved. I haven't been able to stop thinking about that shot with the camera mounted on the exterior of the car as Jack Mulligan rants and raves since I saw it. We finish things up with a look at DreamWorks TV's DINOTRUX. The series premiere introduces the basic premise of the show: in a prehistoric world, dinosaurs and trucks evolved into intelligent hybrid creatures called Dinotrux, who live in different regions and have differing abilities. Ty Rux, a friendly and heroic Tyrannosaurus Trux, sets out with the noble aim of creating a more egalitarian society by uniting the various species of Dinotrux to work in harmony, foiling the plans of the villainous D-Structs along the way. While it's tempting to decry the concept (construction vehicles that are also dinosaurs - a fact which somehow almost bypassed Cris) as derivative, gimmicky and purposefully ripe for merchandising opportunities, there are attempts to provide more substance as the show teaches viewers to explore the world around them, think creatively, and use their brains to engineer solutions to problems. The designs are imaginative, and the animation gives the characters a real weight. The vocal work is mostly excellent though I hate the ubiquity of the surfer dude voice. As ever it's the existential questions about these worlds which make the most fun to discuss, for example what is the life-cycle of a Trux? Are they functionally immortal in a Theseus's Ship type way if they have enough spare parts to repair themselves with? And if they're made of complex robotic parts and sophisticated gears and whatnot which they can understand and use to repair themselves and each other when needed, then why does it take them so long to figure out how to build something as simple as a bridge? Probably best not to ask.We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it.

This week on Explain Me, co-hosts William Powhida and Paddy Johnson talk to arts organizers and activists Heather Bhandari and Nikki Columbus about the challenges for mothers during the pandemic, and the challenges for arts workers seeking to make changes to a system that no longer works for them.  Of the family-focused topics discussed we take on pandemic screen time for kids (Bhandari describes DinoTrux as terrible for kids, but a necessary evil), what to do if your toddler licks a bodega door, and disrupted schedules that make it impossible to find or look for work and require long and often unusual hours.  On the subject of organizing we discuss several projects spearheaded by Bhandari and Columbus respectively designed to pave actionable paths for artists.  Finally we discuss Frieze New York, and contrast their dubious charity efforts during the fair to the more collective NADA art fair model that works towards a sustainable model for everyone.

When Ben and Zane found the keys in that excavator, they knew there was only one option: tool around in it until they got caught or caused a fire, whichever comes first. What they didn't expect was to unearth a complete skeleton of a T-Rex. The Cartoncasters gazed at its beauty and its potential, the sheer power of such a creature. But without any real meat on it, no connective tissue, no capacity for growth, it would never achieve greatness. Then they got distracted by this cool iguana that got glued to a screwdriver and totally destroyed the skeleton.

Why wouldn't you be interested in a show that combines dinosaurs with giant machines like cranes, dump trucks, bulldozers and the like? It's another Dreamworks animation in conjunction with Netflix.  But the real question is:  Does Dinotrux have a Marxist agenda?!  Listen and find out!

How many cake decorating videos does it take to disrupt the platform economy? Would forcing constraint on platforms generate better content? How do we reconcile unlimited access to an infinite library when we’re being pummeled by bad content? Endless scrolling is the opium of the people: This week Paul Ford and Rich Ziade discuss how platforms like Spotify, Netflix, and Youtube have turned into an inescapable hellscape of unfocused content. We talk about being disappointed with the infinite media libraries of our dreams, and the potential for platforms to redeem themselves by constraining content, while looking at how smaller creators are already doing that. Paul also reveals his utopian dream of a centralized platform of curated cake-making content.   4:45 — Rich: “I go to the track, and I go View Album, because I’m wondering if I’ve stumbled on an artist that I want to really dive into… then I go to the album, and I want to like it so I’ll give the album a full listen. There’s so much shit. I get through the first [few] tracks of the album and then the waves break the glass in my house and flood, taking the table and me and the chair, and I go to the next thing.” 5:45 — Paul: “You know what I’ve noticed is the truly talented young artists just produce EP after EP, for years, and then they’re like ‘oh, I’m gonna do this album now.’ They don’t jump to the album. It’s a high risk game. 80% of it is gonna be trash unless you know what you’re doing.” 8:30 — Paul: “With the pure algorithmically defined entertainment that Netflix specializes in, there’s this thing called Dinotrux. It’s dinosaurs that are trucks because they know that little boys like trucks and dinosaurs — little girls too! Have you seen Dinotrux? It’s so bad.” 10:00 — Paul: “It must have been very exciting though at first where it’s like, ‘I’m doing a new thing, a Netflix standup special,’ and then a month goes by and it’s just not as cool for the comedians. Now you’re like, ‘I’m doing a Netflix special!’ and your housekeeper says, ‘so am I!” 12:30 — Paul: “We have a developer/designer here named Darrell and he made a playlist expiration tool. It’s called Dubolt. It’s quite good, you seed it with a few tracks and parameters and you get a very good playlist back.” 13:30 — Paul: “So we’re hitting a point in the glut where we’re realizing that emotionally and intellectually it’s not that satisfying to keep waiting and searching. You saw this when cable TV suddenly had five thousand stations and nobody could figure out what to watch.” 14:00 — Paul: “There’s always the great simplifying agent, which in our industry is often Apple, [saying], ‘you don’t want all those choices.’ Now the problem that Apple has — which is the problem everybody who creates a successful minimalist approach has — is that everybody starts adding stuff to it.” 15:00 — Paul: “We’re in the glut. There’s very little quality in a glut. There’s no sense of quality. Literally, it’s just this tsunami of content coming in and we’re all just like, ‘wow, that’s a lot of content!’ You thought it was what you wanted.” 15:25 — Paul: “We measure creativity by how people respond to constraints.” 16:50 — Rich: “When I see a Netflix Original Series, I just assume — and I could be surprised — I assume it’s bad.” 16:55 — Paul: “Compare Netflix and Youtube for a minute. What do both of them solve? They solve distribution. Suddenly they were like, ‘oh my god, we can put moving pictures in a rectangle on a screen and we can get it out to millions and millions of people.” 17:20 — Rich: “There’s a phenomenal quote by the Chief Content Officer of Netflix. They said, ‘what’s your strategy?’ and he said, ‘we have to become HBO faster than HBO can become us.’” 19:10 — Paul: “Here’s a thing I think a lot about: Cakes. Cake making is a whole scene on Youtube. There’s probably 30 million people… who watch and subscribe to cake content where people smear things with fondant. Very charming people. They sell spatulas. That’s how they monetize. I sort of look at Netflix as being very well set up to capitalize on these nascent expanding scenes in a way that Youtube can’t. You’ve got thirty, forty, fifty cake-making personalities but Youtube doesn’t really bring them together.” 20:50 — Paul: “It’s a promise that everyone is roughly equal on the platform, which is weird because you walk down the street and there’s a giant picture of a Youtube celebrity painted on the side of a wall in Manhattan.” 22:00 — Paul: “Netflix is weird because it’s all about subjects and I almost think it should be more focused around verticals. Like channels, or something on Netflix where you can go over and participate as opposed to these ‘movies for people who like cats and have no hair!’ I think Netflix is totally primed to do that.” 24:10 — Paul: “The whole system is set up where the platforms make it challenging to create real utility. The ways that you focus by making products that allow them to access the media and give them new powers and understanding — the platforms are not set up for that. They’re set up for continual delivery of a single experience which is usually a rectangle of video. They’re focused around the media, not the actual usage of the media to do things.” 24:50 — Paul: “Youtube is just a big open hole that anybody can throw their trash into, and sometimes people are like, ‘that’s not trash! That’s good!’” 26:00 — Rich: “For the consumer, I’m worried about them. The motivation on the creator side is to just pour more and more on my head. For the consumer, that’s led to a terrible state. Everything’s garbage. Most things are lousy.” 26:25 — Paul: “Even when you have a lot of money and you do everything right, the odds are that it’s gonna be pretty bad.” 28:35 — Rich: “You know what the most popular piece of advice is now? [Companies are] telling the person: Leave your phone outside the bedroom. Take a book with you. Pause and think! Think deeper!” 29:10 — Paul: “It’s always been crappy bestsellers and big stupid movies with car chases. That’s been the baseline for a long time. It’s not surprising that in an era of digital glut we just end up with more. Not better, but more… Do you try to build the new platforms where there are more constraints and more creative work? That’s a way to address this but you are climbing a very high mountain.” 32:20 — Paul: “Constraints matter, but platform economics take over. You have to choose how to live in this world, because it’s being done to you.” A full transcript of this episode is available. LINKS Dubolt by Darrell Hanley Is Netflix the Next HBO?

What we cover: "Just take one small step --- every day." -- Matt Hill   There are some people on this amazing planet who you just know when you meet them are the ones who are on a mission to make it an even more spectacular place than it already is. Undeniably, one of those people is Matt Hill.  A much sought after voice actor, he’s well known as having played Raphael on the Ninja Turtles, he’s Tender Heart the Care Bear, he’s Ton Ton on the Netflix and DreamWorks series DinoTrux, he’s Ed on Ed, Edd, and Eddy. He’s kind of everywhere. Which is no surprise because he is tireless. But he’s more than just enthusiastic and energetic -- he is joy filled, he oozes integrity, he is kind, and he takes action.  In May, 2008, he and his friend, Steph, embarked on an unthinkable journey; on a tour they named The Run for One Planet Tour, which would ultimately see them run from Vancouver, on the west coast of Canada, to St John’s Newfoundland on the eastern most tip of Canada, down to the state of Florida across to the state of California, and back home to Vancouver 369 days later by running a marathon each day, every one of those days. The purpose? To connect with kids, and to remind them to be kind to the planet. By that end of that gruelling yet joyous and unparalleled year, they had connected with more than 50,000 students and completed more than 22,000,000 steps… Thereby serving as the real life reminder that every great goal requires a commitment to taking that one next step, and then that one next step, and then that one next step.  You don’t have to be a runner or an athlete to get that what Matt has accomplished is a metaphor for us all – for anyone who is playing with the idea of a Big Hairy Audacious Goal. No matter the objective, it’s about taking that first step… and then not stopping until you’ve taken 21,999,000 more. This year, nearly 8 years after the initial tour wrapped, Matt and Steph were recognized with a Governor General Meritorious Award – for bringing honour to their home country, Canada. And on the day this posts, Monday, May 8th, 2017, in the city of Vancouver, it is the official Run for One Planet Day – a day set aside to get active, and to take action.  Matt being Matt, an unstoppable force, will be running through the streets of Vancouver from 8am to 8pm. If you’re in Vancouver, swing by the Terry Fox Monument in front of BC Place for his 8am send off or for his 8pm finish at the same place – an intentional location, in light of the fact that Terry remains to this day the single biggest inspiration in Matt’s life, just as he is to so many people across Canada and around the world.  A quick admin item about Terry Fox, Matt and I talk about him and the work of the Terry Fox Foundation, the uber-well-respected organization dedicated to cancer research. We were unsure of the amount that has been raised in Terry’s name and we made a guess and we were way off… When you hear us talk about it, just know the actual amount is closer to $750 million.  If you can’t join Matt from where you are, send him a shout-out on social media. Reach out to him on Twitter at: @MattHillInspire. Or on Instagram at: @MattHill_Inspire. Cheer him on from wherever you are. We are posting this episode a day earlier than we usually do, so that we can rally as much support for this stellar human and his “Let’s Be Good to Ourselves and to the Planet” message as is possible.

After a brief gaming chat covering "FarCry 3" for Joe and "Tron TV" and "Red Dead Redemption" for Mitch we dive into TV with the gritty 70's record producers in "Vinyl", Dinosaur robots in "Dinotrux", suspenseful criminal drama in "The Night Of" and small town sci-fi in "Stranger Things". We then jump into movies with the Irish 80's music-based drama "Sing Street", pan the acting in the new Peter Pan based "Pan" and go on a side tangent covering almost anything but "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." Mitch then gives us a thorough rundown of why the new "Ghostbusters" is an important film, and we head back to the world of wrestling and watch the newly released to Netflix doco, "The Resurrection Of Jake The Snake".

This week, we welcome Chris Gall to the show. Chris is the author/illustrator of the original Dinotrux books, upon which the Dreamworks/Netflix show is based. On this episode, we chat with Chris about his inspiration for Dinotrux, his involvement with the Dreamworks show, book trailers, owning your own work, collaborations...and stand-up comedy!

Things have become a little crazy around here with the latest addition to our family, Baby Hazel! We start this episode with a sincere thank you to the folks over at Dreamworks for sending Captain Owen an awesome little care package of the die-cast 'DinoTrux' toys. In my opinion, these are the best of the whole line--they are sturdy because of the metal, and they're a convenient size to take pretty much anywhere (which we have been). Owen then sings a song to his new baby sister before holding her and making up some stories for her. The post Episode 032 – Baby Hazel appeared first on Sunday Evening With Captain Owen.

First of all, happy Mother's Day to all the mom parental units out there. Today we talk a little bit about Owen's Thomas the Train collection before diving in to his latest geekdom--'Dinotrux.' We read the original 'Dinotrux' book by Chris Gall before also discussing the Netflix cartoon and related toys. The post Episode 030 – ‘Dinotrux’ appeared first on Sunday Evening With Captain Owen.

As you may have noticed, last week was a skip week thanks to Emerald City Comicon, but we are now back on schedule! We saw 'The Jungle Book' yesterday and we had talk a little about Captain Owen's initial reactions right after the movie. We discussed it again today and got very different feedback. We also sing a couple of songs and discuss Owen's newest geekdom--'DinoTrux.' The post Episode 029 – ‘The Jungle Book’ appeared first on Sunday Evening With Captain Owen.

This week it's all about our tastes in music, movies, and TV, and how we expose our boys to all of it.

This week I think back on my childhood TV habits and talk about some of the shows I used to watch. Then I look at some of the shows that we share with our children now. From watching "Rugrats" to singing along with "RuPaul's Drag Race," our boys seem to have a pretty well rounded television exposure.
