"Story is king!" Butch Hartman uses this mantra to examine the best and worst of the animated movie library from Disney's Zootopia to Pixar's Cars 2. Jace Diehl continues the conversation with video game topics such as Cuphead and Bendy & the Ink Machine in episode 3 of Speech Bubble!
"Most things will be okay eventually, but not everything will be. Sometimes you'll put up a good fight and lose. Sometimes you'll hold on really hard and realize there is no choice but to let go. Acceptance is a small quiet room." So writes Cheryl Strayed in her advice/ essay collection Tiny Beautiful Things. Tiny Beautiful Things started out as an advice column by Steve Almond in 2009, written on the literary website The Rumpus. Advice came from the anonymous "Sugar" persona, a figure who was both kind and wizened. Later, in 2010, Cheryl Strayed took over the anonymous persona of "Sugar," doling out advice but mixing in personal stories of her own to help her readers make sense of their own struggles. It's this mix of advice and memoir that took Dear Sugar too both internet acclaim and later literary acclaim. This week on the MashReads Podcast, we read Cheryl Strayed's collection of advice essays Tiny Beautiful Things.Then, inspired by Tiny Beautiful Things, we talk about the books that have taught us important lessons including The Golden Bough by James George Frazer, The Fault In Our Stars by John Green, Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner by Katrine Marçal and The Empathy Exams by Leslie Jamison.And as always, we close the show with recommendations: Aliza recommends rewatching the pilot of The West Wing. "Sorkin is far from perfect, but I do find the West Wing enjoyable. It's fast-paced, it's quippy. It's a breath of fresh air, in terms of politics." Peter recommends The Familiar: Vol. 3 by Mark Z. Danielewski. "We're definitely entering in the synthesis era of this. Things are coming together where you see how characters fit into each other. It's really coming together slowly but surely, and it's just marvelous." Alex recommends Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City by Matthew Desmond. She also recommends Disney's Zootopia. "It's just really delightful. You guys should watch it." MJ recommends Wild by Cheryl Strayed. He also recommends Roxane Gay's new short story collection Dangerous Women. "I'm only a few stories but every short story has stuck with me. [Her stories] are creative. They are these soaring indictments of how society treats women."

It's happened again. Paul has become obsessed with another movie, necessitating a bonus episode that simply couldn't fit in the regular Gobbledygeek schedule. This time, Paul is wild about Disney's Zootopia, which tells the story of bunny cop Judy Hopps and con fox Nick Wilde, who team up on a case that goes to surprising lengths in uncovering systemic oppression in the animal kingdom. Paul and Arlo discuss the film's take on racism and sexism, debate its effectiveness in shedding light on those subjects, and discover some truly hideous "fan art."
Reika Oozeki's silly antics on Vine just may be upending the constricting structure of fame in Japan. And the furry community is very into Disney's Zootopia and Katie is on it. BONUS: you, dear listener, can remember the glory of the movie FernGully along with Ryan and Katie. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Inside The Mouse Castle: Disney News, Information and Commentary
Disney's Zootopia opened last weekend with record-breaking box office numbers for a March release. Naturally, Anthony and I didn't bother to see it. No worries, we'll both rectify that this week. A 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes certainly got our attention. Disneyland's announced April 2 closure of Super Hero HQ caught us all by surprise. What will be next for the Star Wars Launch Bay's attic? A preview center for Star Wars Land maybe? And what will happen when Captain America and Spider-Man are sent packing to DCA? Will the Mad T Party be replaced by a Mad A (for Avengers) Party? It's time to get some rumors started. Here's what else we've got Inside The Mouse Castle this week: Keep those calendars marked. The Jungle Book begins sneak peek screenings at DCA and Disney's Hollywood Studios on March 18. Frozen--Live at the Hyperion opens at DCA May 27 and Rivers of Light, the new nighttime water show at Disney's Animal Kingdom, debuts April 22. It was no coincidence the Walt Disney Company had its annual shareholders meeting in Chicago last week. It was a fitting reminder that the Windy City was where Walt was born. To mark the occasion, Bob Iger announced that the Company would donate $250,000 towards the restoration of the Walt Disney Birthplace. Disney Cruise Line will launch two new cruise ships in 2021 and 2023, bringing their fleet total to six. The as-yet-unnamed ships will have 1,250 staterooms each and will be larger than DCL's current biggest ships, the Disney Dream and the Disney Fantasy. Star Wars: The Force Awakens comes out on Digital HD on April 1 and Blu-ray on April 5. Want a little variety with your trip to a galaxy far, far away? Retailers Target, Walmart, Best Buy and the Disney Store are all offering unique packaging and/or bonus materials. Big Hero 6 is moving to the small screen. An animated series based on the hit film will debut on Disney XD in 2017. A live-action movie version of The Nutcracker Suite? Disney is working on it and Lasse Hallstrom (The Hundred-Foot Journey, Chocolat) is slated to direct. Ten years after the original High School Musical hit big for the Disney Channel, casting calls are going out for High School Musical 4. Jeffrey Hornaday (Teen Beach Movie) will direct.

Nobody is safe from knife-wielding Gerard Butler, even Chris and Dylan as they take a look at London Has Fallen for the fifth episode of Film Fallout. Is it a xenophobic nightmare that does extremely horrible things to anything of a different race than white? Perhaps. But the real question is, can it be forgiven for being a really, really offensive movie? Listen to two white people discuss one of the more hateful movies in recent memory. Dylan also saw Disney's Zootopia, which just so happens to deal with race as well. And the duo discuss A Vice Guide to Film, a new show on Viceland. Other talking points include JK Simmons as the new Commissioner Gordon in Justice League, The Nice Guys getting a record release (and a limited XXX-wrap for it), Shane Black talking to Arnold Schwarzenegger possibly about casting for Predator, and there are some new Blu-ray releases including Victor Frankenstein, The Peanuts Movie, Victoria, The Tribe, and Paris Belongs to Us on Criterion. Come back next week, when we review 10 Cloverfield Lane.

What happens when Judy Hopps, a little bunny rabbit, tries to be the first bunny rabbit police officer in the city of Zootopia? Will she be accepted among the much larger/tougher animals such as the predators? How might she interact with foxes, who are not trusted back at the farms where she grew up, and especially when the one she has to team up with is, ahem, sly as one? And will they ever get the line moving at the friggin DMV? Jack and Andrew discuss the new Disney Animated film, its virtues, its sophistication, and if it has any issues (also, SPOILERS from 16:48 to 25:29 in the podcast if you'd care to skip that section).
