Phil Iscove and Emily St. James continue their Pixar 2000s miniseries with a deep dive into WALL·E, Andrew Stanton's 2008 animated sci-fi romance about a lonely trash-compacting robot left behind on Earth.Joined by Justin and Laura Khoo, they break down the film's near-silent first act, Ben Burtt's groundbreaking sound design, the Axiom's consumerist dystopia, and why WALL·E may be Pixar's most political film. They also discuss its environmental themes, visual storytelling, and how it fits alongside Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, and Cars in Pixar's golden era.Is WALL·E the studio's boldest experiment? Its purest love story? Or both?Follow the Hosts & GuestsPodcast Like It'sInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/podcastlikeitsPhil IscoveInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pmiscoveEmily St. JamesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/emilystjamsJustin KhooInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/juskhooLaura KhooInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurajeanettekhoo Hosted on Acast.

In 1995, Disney was the undisputed king of animation. But behind the scenes, a decade-long war for creative control was just beginning. This is the story of how a "vendor" named Pixar became Disney's biggest rival, and how Steve Jobs used a string of billion-dollar hits to force a total regime change in Burbank. From the "Circle 7" secret studio to the high-stakes negotiations over Toy Story 2 and Finding Nemo, we're exploring the corporate battle that nearly destroyed the Disney/Pixar partnership—and the unlikely friendship between Bob Iger and Steve Jobs that eventually saved it. In this video, we explore: The 1995 Pixar IPO that turned the power dynamic upside down. Michael Eisner's "Experimental Era" and Disney's struggle for identity. The "Sequel War" and the "free" movie that fueled Steve Jobs' resentment. Bob Iger's Hong Kong epiphany and the $7.4 billion deal that changed animation forever.

Watch the best scene reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj9bGNUIFdY A delightful blend of adventure and emotional depth, reminiscent of films like “Finding Nemo,” where the bond between characters drives the narrative through perilous waters. I thought of “The Shape of Water” as well, with its unique exploration of relationships between humans and extraordinary creatures, creating a sense of wonder and connection. Additionally, “A Monster Calls” came to mind, as it beautifully intertwines fantastical elements Get to know the writer: What is your screenplay about? The screenplay is about Gilly, a decades old, extremely intelligent Giant Pacific Octopus who lives in the Mermaid's Cave in Oahu where she has been gifted an information hub by her marine biologist friend. As time passes, Gilly enhances her ability to shape shift and learns how to communicate. In present day, she saves a government agent who is drowning in the ocean. Their relationship is at the center of the character driven story which unfolds like a chaotic, humorous, fast paced rollercoaster. It climaxes with Gilly and her new found friends saving the Arizona Memorial from attack from North Korea's marine biology program. What genres does your screenplay fall under? My story fits the following genres: Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Thriller, Comedy, with slight traces of Horror. It is suitable for all ages. It can be animated, use live actors, or be a combination of both. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie? I have received extremely positive feedback from multiple industry evaluators. I will use the review by the International Screenwriters' Association to answer this question. “The project presents a distinctive blend of science fiction and emotional drama, anchored by the unlikely relationship between Slip, a disillusioned former agent, and an intelligent, shapeshifting octopus named Gilly. Their connection provides both the narrative's emotional center and its conceptual novelty, exploring trust, survival, and empathy in an unconventional yet interesting context. The tone operates in a deliberately hybrid register, merging high-concept science fiction with a light, often self-aware humor. In its best moments, this tonal elasticity creates a sense of discovery and curiosity, it allows for levity in scenes that might otherwise risk melodrama. The concept itself, an intelligent, shapeshifting octopus that engages with humanity, is imaginative and commercially distinctive, particularly in a cinematic landscape with familiar properties. What makes it notable is not simply its novelty but its potential for visual and tonal contrast, the serene oceanic imagery juxtaposed with covert operations, and the organic intelligence of a sea creature contrasted with human technology. Overall, this screenplay's originality and emotional core position it as a distinctive and engaging piece with strong cinematic potential.” Subscribe to the podcast: Tweets by wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

This week on Podcast Like It's the 2000s, Phil and Emily continue their deep dive into Pixar's 2000s run with Finding Nemo, joined by critic and writer Caroline Framke.Released in 2003, Finding Nemo marked a major turning point for Pixar pairing cutting-edge animation with a surprisingly emotional story about parenthood, fear, and letting go. The group breaks down how revolutionary the film felt at the time, why it still holds up as one of Pixar's most accessible crowd-pleasers, and how its influence reshaped both animation and merchandising culture in the years that followed.They also dig into Albert Brooks' anxious Marlin, Ellen DeGeneres' instantly iconic Dory, the film's surprisingly existential undertones, and the question of whether Finding Nemo has been culturally overshadowed by later Pixar classics or simply made to look “conventional” by its own success.Along the way, the conversation touches on disability representation, Pixar's evolving thematic ambitions, and why the ocean remains one of cinema's most quietly terrifying settings.You can find Caroline Framke at: www.carolineframke.comSupport the show:Get more from Podcast Like It's... on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

When Avatar came out in 2009, it shattered box-office records. And even though it was billed as a sci-fi epic featuring blue aliens on a far-away moon, the movie didn't shy away from a pretty Earth-based message of environmental conservation.So, with a third Avatar hitting theaters this weekend, we were inspired to bust out the popcorn, dim the lights, and play the part of pop culture critics.

Looking for honest reviews without Hollywood spin? This hour delivers tension, controversy, and Andy Peth's unfiltered opinion as he takes the mic for a Friday edition of https://RushToReason.com, delivering two sharply contrasting movie reviews that pull no punches. First up is Not Without Hope, a true survival story set in the unforgiving Gulf of Mexico. Starring Zachary Levi, the film asks a haunting question: what happens when elite athletes face an enemy they can't overpower—the ocean itself? Andy praises the acting, realism, and immersive camerawork, but questions the pacing. 11:10 – Not Without Hope movie review • Andy's ratings: Quality ★★½ | Political ★★ | Moral/Religious ★½ Then Andy turns his attention to the holiday slasher Silent Night, Deadly Night, a Christmas horror film with a killer Santa and a disturbing moral twist. Does brutality equal horror? Andy doesn't think so. Despite a few solid performances and inventive moments, he finds the story implausible, boring, and wildly overrated. His verdict is brutal. 22:58 – Silent Night, Deadly Night movie review • Andy's ratings: Quality ★½ | Political ★★★ | Moral/Religious ★ HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason turns cinematic as Andy Peth, joined by Luke Chasman and Tanner Coleman, dives headfirst into “Movies of the Sea”—from swashbuckling adventures to submarine warfare and shark-infested nightmares. What makes a great ocean movie: spectacle, tension, or pure fear? The crew debates classics like Pirates of the Caribbean and Jaws, praises modern standouts such as Aquaman (the first one), and contrasts them with notorious misfires like Pearl Harbor and Aquaman 2. The conversation plunges deeper with gripping submarine films, including Das Boot, U-571, The Hunt for Red October, and The Abyss, highlighting claustrophobia, sound design, and the terror of depth charges in total darkness. Sharks circle the discussion with Deep Blue Sea, The Meg, and even Sharknado, blending genuine tension with campy fun. Animated favorites like Finding Nemo spark nostalgia—and a sharp critique of how Pixar's magic has faded. Is fear more effective when it's realistic, or when it's ridiculous? Packed with rapid-fire opinions, humor, and movie-love energy, this hour asks one irresistible question: which sea movie still holds up when the water gets rough?

When my friend turned 30, her parents began a tradition of celebrating that milestone birthday with an extended family gathering at a resort or vacation home somewhere. That year, her celebration was held at a resort on the Oregon coast. Growing up on the east side of the Cascades, she didn't vacation at the coast. Why drive that far when there were lakes and campgrounds galore in her own backyard? The accommodations for the birthday weekend were beachfront with a deck on the west side- perfect for watching whales and sunsets. It was also the perfect perch for seagulls... who somehow sensed that this particular gaggle of guests were clueless when it came to knowing the appropriate protocols for engaging with coastal wildlife. They were familiar with campground wisdom about securing coolers and food supplies from bears. But seagulls seemed harmless... why not toss them a bit of pancake or two? Within seconds, it was like the seagull scene in Finding Nemo. They were being dive bombed by scores of greedy gulls, all squawking for their own precious piece of pancake! We are in week three of our series, BLESSED: Living a Life God Blesses. Throughout this series, we're looking at four postures of the heart that invite God's blessing in our lives and reflect His nature through our lives. This week we're looking at the posture of generosity. Sharing doesn't come naturally - it has to be taught. But as we'll discover God's blessing in our lives was never intended to just be for us, but to be for others, through us. I invite you to join us this Sunday at 11 AM.

Clownfishes or anemonefishes are colorful saltwater fishes that mainly inhabit coral reefs in the warm and tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific. Clownfishes have a symbiotic and mutually beneficial relationship with sea anemones, which they rely on for shelter and protection from predators. In turn, clownfishes will protect the anemone from anemone-eating fish, as well as clean and fan them. The popular film Finding Nemo is about a […]

Suzy and Diana revisit Pixar's Finding Nemo to talk about how the film hits differently as parents. They unpack Marlin's trauma and anxiety, Dory as a thoughtful nod to neurodiversity, why “family” is bigger than blood, and how to balance protection with independence. They also put Nemo through the Disney Moms Gone Wrong Hall of Fame criteria and land on a verdict.00:00 Welcome, “Hidden Mickey” kid cameos, why Nemo is on repeat at home02:00 2003 shocker, quick plot refresher03:40 Dory's humor and what she represents for neurodivergent listeners10:24 The parenting balance between protection and letting kids grow16:32 Marlin and Nemo's relationship shift from fear to trust21:07 Safe risks, helicopter parenting, and real life boundaries25:04 Family beyond blood: Bruce, Crush, Squirt, and the tank crew as a village31:39 Most emotional moments and why they land as parents38:31 Nemo's fin and talking about disability with care and support43:02 Hall of Fame debate and verdict46:01 Scheduling notes, shoutouts, sign offMarlin's overprotection is rooted in trauma and love, not control. Naming that helps parents reframe their own anxiety.Dory reads as a warm, respectful reflection of neurodiversity, reminding us that different brains belong in the story.Kids need safe space to try, stumble, and grow. Guardrails beat bubble wrap.“Family” is the people who show up. Nemo's helpers along the way model a real village.Disability is part of the world, not an afterthought.

Our ideas include what to do with Rafiki's Planet Watch... looking at Finding Nemo: the Musical... updating Pandora... fixing Kali River Rapids... more characters... and of course, addressing the issue with The Yeti. And... hippos. We need more hippos. And then we do dream a little bigger - what if we could do one big project?

A Note from JamesI'm honored to have today's guest: Tristan de Montebello, a finalist in the World Championship of Public Speaking. He also co-founded UltraSpeaking (ultraspeaking.com/james), where he teaches techniques to improve communication through games and real-world practice. We even played some of those games during this episode, and they surprised me with how much they revealed about my own speaking.Public speaking isn't just about giving a good talk—it's about understanding who you are, what you stand for, and how you connect with others. I've been speaking for more than 25 years, but I'm still always looking for ways to improve. At the end of the day, sharing ideas—through writing, storytelling, or speaking—is how you can change the world.This conversation with Tristan is fascinating because he's gone from zero experience to becoming one of the best in the world, all while reverse-engineering what it takes to truly connect with an audience.Episode DescriptionHow does someone go from a complete beginner to a world-class speaker in less than a year? Tristan de Montebello did exactly that—and in the process, he uncovered the strategies, mindsets, and training methods that make communication powerful.In this episode, James and Tristan break down the mechanics of storytelling, humor, vulnerability, and flow in speaking. They explore why audiences respond the way they do, how to use analogies to create connection, and why mindset is the foundation of every great communicator. Whether you're on a stage, in a meeting, or simply trying to share an idea with friends, these lessons will change the way you approach communication.What You'll LearnHow Tristan went from novice to World Championship finalist in under a year.Why humor and vulnerability are essential ingredients for authentic connection.Practical ways to use storytelling and analogies to make ideas stick.How to handle insecurity, fumbles, and “tough audiences” without breaking flow.Why mindset—not technique—is the foundation of great communication.Timestamped Chapters[01:00] A Note from James and introducing Tristan de Montebello[04:15] Inside the World Championship of Public Speaking[07:45] Humor, storytelling, and why connection matters[11:10] The Fear Olympics: lessons from Tristan's grandmother[16:30] “Never be the hero of your own story”[20:15] Breaking down stories like Finding Nemo[24:45] How Tristan trained humor like a stand-up comic[28:30] What great speakers and clowns have in common [33:20] Managing insecurities and staying in character[41:40] From finalist to struggling in an online mastermind[50:20] Slacklining as a metaphor for learning[54:10] Building analogies as a core communication skill [60:30] Reading tough or quiet audiences[67:15] Handling bias and building trust with skeptical crowds[69:45] Flow state in public speakingAdditional ResourcesUltraSpeaking – ultraspeaking.com/jamesToastmasters International – toastmasters.orgRich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki – Amazon linkEight Mile (film referenced by James & Tristan) – IMDbSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

So grab your tie-dye cheesecake or swing by the Big Blue Pool — it's time to battle it out in Resort Wars: Pop Century vs. Art of Animation!
There's an ancient Western myth that's been adopted by the masses and often without their consent. It can be found in movies like Star Wars and Finding Nemo. It's in books like The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. It's the secret theme included in your favorite TEDx Talk. And it's something that's taken for granted in almost every business podcast that exists. Worst part? This myth may be responsible for your success… but, if left unchecked, it's responsible for the low-grade anxiety, under-the-surface numbness, and quiet sadness you feel but never talk about. The same story that got you this far - to win, to prove, to conquer - is the very thing keeping you stuck. It's The Hero's Journey and you can see its impact in nearly every kind of media you consume. But the problem is, stories never tell the full story - and after successfully going through The Hero's Journey, life takes on a bleak and gray undertone that whispers, “You're not enough and will never be enough.” That's the bad news. The good news? The Sage's Journey is the antidote to the dull ache of confusion inside you. But it's not a tale of conquering dragons, so you may have never heard of it. And it's definitely not as well known, even though it's just as ancient. That's because it's a quieter journey. One that happens in your internal world instead of the external one. And it's the only way to unlock joy and lasting fulfillment in your life. And that's what you'll discover when you tune into this week's show. Listen now. Show Highlights Include: How the “Warrior Identity” that's responsible for your success is also the root cause of your emotional exhaustion and lack of fulfillment in life (and how to upgrade your identity) (0:24) The “Path of the Sage” secret to stop proving yourself and to start becoming yourself (2:26) Why books, movies, graduation speeches, and even business podcasts silently fill you with an unquenchable sense of existential dread that only The Sage's Journey can solve (2:54) How to experience unbridled joy, naturally, when you bend down to tie your shoes, as you browse through the grocery store, and when you hold a child (16:06) The “Conquering Your Dragon” trap high achievers fall into that only reinforces your belief that you're not enough (and how to set your sword down and experience freedom for perhaps the first time) (20:24) For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/ Want more success in leadership, deeper connections, or a greater sense of fulfillment?
