In this episode of No More Late Fees, Danielle and Jackie welcome back their Star Wars ride-or-die, Maria, to embark on an epic (and slightly chaotic) mission: ranking their top five Star Wars characters to date. It's not just about choosing the hottest Jedi or the sassiest Sith—it's about deciding who's a certified simp and who's worthy of a seat on the Millennium Falcon. Spoiler alert: Anakin's a red flag, Kylo Ren's the family's moody bad boy, and Han Solo's still the original galactic heartthrob. Plus, Danielle might just be developing a crush on Gwendoline Christie, while Jackie contemplates whether Donald Glover's Lando is a worthy heir to the legendary Billy Dee Williams.But the real challenge? Sacrificing two of their picks to the unforgiving Sarlacc pit. Tears are shed, thirst is discussed, and somehow, Pedro Pascal's swagger is too powerful to cut. To top it all off, Maria shares her employee picks, which naturally include some Star Wars classics and a Vin Diesel favorite because, yes, The Iron Giant is still undefeated. Tune in for all the laughs, pop culture debates, and a surprising amount of Pedro Pascal worship.—No More Late Fees https://nomorelatefeespodcast.com909-601-NMLF (6653)—Follow Us on Social:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/nomorelatefees TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@nomorelatefees Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/nomorelatefeesYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@nomorelatefees Twitterhttps://x.com/NoMoreLateFees —CONQUERingmyconquering.com10% Off Code: JACKIE10—NostaBeautyhttps://nostabeauty.com 20% Off Code: NMLF—MariaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mariawatcheseverything/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mariawatcheseverything—Maria's Previous EpisodesBend it Like Beckhamhttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/bend-it-like-beckhamKickin' it with Mariahttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/kickin-it-with-mariaHoleshttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/holesDiggin' it with Mariahttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/diggin-it-with-mariaStar Wars Episode 2 - Attack of the Cloneshttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/star-wars-episode-2-attack-of-the-clonesVillain Worship: Ranking the Hottest Movie Baddies with Mariahttps://nomorelatefeespodcast.com/episode/villain-worship-ranking-the-hottest-movie-baddies-with-maria

The Iron Giant (1999) is next on our quirky animation month. This one is a bit of a palette cleanser as it's the least quirky, but it's still quirky enough to pass. The main character is called Hogarth and that says it all. This one was a bit of a childhood trauma for Sam, which is something Calum didn't know before he chose it, to be fair. Will this viewing and discussion cure that? Maybe. Join us next week as we watch Paprika (2006)
For their 194th episode, two beatnik film critics, two Cold War-curious dads, and two robotic school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, turn it back to the great year of 1999 to love on a flop that turned into a classic. Brad Bird's "The Iron Giant" has gone from being trounced at the box office to being an animation exemplar for all ages, and our guys are here to admire its popularity and quality. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate.

The Triplets of Belleville (2003), or Belleville Rendez-vous (2003) if you're in the UK, kicks off our Quirky Animation month! That's the second quirky movie month that Calum has chosen for us all, proving that he just isn't like the other girls. Sam watched this in French, Calum watched it in 'English,' but weirdly that didn't make a difference. Will Sam get to crap all over Calum's dreams, like he crapped all over the Bratz Babies? Maybe. The good news is, you're all treated to another French laugh.Join us next week as we watch The Iron Giant (1999)

Send us a textWhat happens when you finally experience the books, movies, and music everyone's been telling you to check out for years? Ryan and Daniel revisit four seasons of podcast conversations to reveal how "My Pop Five" has fundamentally changed their relationship with art and culture.The conversation begins with Daniel's newfound obsession with Robert Eggers' "Nosferatu" before pivoting to the heart of the episode: reflecting on cultural touchstones they might never have experienced without the podcast's recommendation format. Daniel shares how Devon's early episode featuring the band Brand New transformed his entire approach to music, while Ryan recounts how interviewing Juliana Zachariou deepened his appreciation for her artistry beyond fandom.The hosts trade stories of belated cultural education—Daniel's deep dive into David Lynch's filmography came heartbreakingly close to the director's passing, while Ryan finally binged the Harry Potter series after years of avoidance, culminating in watching the final film with the LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl. Their discussion of The Simpsons reveals how revisiting certain works uncovers layers of cultural influence previously invisible to them.Perhaps most touching is their exploration of how our relationship with art evolves as we age. Daniel describes rewatching The Iron Giant in a theater years later and being moved to tears by nuances his younger self couldn't appreciate. These moments of reconnection with art—seeing it through more experienced eyes—showcase how static works can yield entirely new meanings as our lives progress.As we stream into Season 4, join us for more conversations about the art and media that shape our lives, and the beautiful connections formed when we share what we love with the people around us.

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! This episode takes us on an epic journey as we dive into the grand scale of cinematic giants and feature a review of the thought-provoking Godzilla Minus One, followed by a nostalgic trip through the Godzilla Animation series from 1978.Top 5 Giants in Film and Animation:Godzilla from various films: This iconic behemoth symbolizes both destruction and misunderstood nature, captivating audiences worldwide with its sheer scale and deep narrative resonance.King Kong from "King Kong" (1933): A tragic figure that blends horror with poignancy, illustrating complex interactions between humanity and the wild.The Iron Giant from "The Iron Giant" (1999): This metal titan touches hearts with themes of identity and sacrifice, showcasing the softer side of what giants can represent.The BFG from "The BFG" (2016): Spielberg's adaptation of Dahl's giant brings magic and kindness to the forefront, enchanting viewers with dreams and adventures.Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from "Ghostbusters" (1984): Mixing humor and terror, this giant marshmallow man offers a lighter, yet chaotic twist on the giant trope.Main Feature: Godzilla Minus One The 2023 Japanese epic Godzilla Minus One, directed and visually crafted by Takashi Yamazaki, marks a significant entry in the Godzilla franchise. Set in postwar Japan, it tells the harrowing tale of a former kamikaze pilot, portrayed by Ryunosuke Kamiki, who grapples with PTSD in a country scarred by war and haunted by the monstrous deity Godzilla.This film, premiering to commemorate the franchise's 70th anniversary, has not only redefined the kaiju genre but has also been lauded for revitalizing the narrative depth and cinematic quality of Godzilla stories. The film intricately explores themes of trauma, redemption, and the colossal impact of war, both on the environment and the human psyche. It's a poignant reflection on Japan's historical context and its cinematic representation of national traumas and resilience.Switching gears, we revisit the delightful 1978 Godzilla Animation series. This series introduced Godzilla to children as a hero rather than a destroyer. It presents a series of adventures where Godzilla, alongside a crew of human characters, tackles various monsters and villains, imparting lessons of courage and friendship. Its creative approach to making Godzilla a protector rather than a threat has endeared it to generations of viewers, showcasing the adaptability of the Godzilla mythos across different audiences and age groups.Today's episode invites us to reflect on the colossal impact of giants in film — not just on the physical landscapes they roam but on the emotional and cultural narratives they inhabit. Whether it's through the lens of a nostalgic animation or a critically acclaimed film, giants continue to fascinate and provoke thought, towering over the world of cinema both literally and metaphorically. Join us as we navigate through these monumental tales that continue to shape and challenge the boundaries of storytelling.

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?

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.

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.

Ted Hughes, one of the giants of twentieth-century British poetry, was born in Mytholmroyd, Yorkshire. After serving in the Royal Air Force, Hughes attended Cambridge, where he studied archeology and anthropology and took a special interest in myths and legends. In 1956, he met and married the American poet Sylvia Plath, who encouraged him to submit his manuscript to a first-book contest run by the Poetry Center. Awarded first prize by judges Marianne Moore, W. H. Auden, and Stephen Spender, The Hawk in the Rain (Faber & Faber, 1957) secured Hughes's reputation as a poet of international stature. According to poet and critic Robert B. Shaw, Hughes's poetry signaled a dramatic departure from the prevailing modes of the period. The stereotypical poem of the time was determined not to risk too much: politely domestic in its subject matter, understated and mildly ironic in style. By contrast, Hughes marshaled a language of nearly Shakespearean resonance to explore themes which were mythic and elemental.Hughes remained a controversial figure after Plath's suicide left him as her literary executor and he refused (citing family privacy) to publish many of her papers. Nevertheless, his long career included unprecedented best-selling volumes such as Lupercal (Faber & Faber, 1960), Crow (Faber & Faber, 1970), Selected Poems 1957–1981 (Faber & Faber, 1982), and Birthday Letters (Faber & Faber, 1998), as well as many beloved children's books, including The Iron Man (Faber & Faber, 1968), which was adapted as The Iron Giant (1999). With Seamus Heaney, he edited the popular anthologies The Rattle Bag (Faber & Faber, 1982) and The School Bag (Faber & Faber, 1997). Hughes was named executor of Plath's literary estate and he edited several volumes of her work. Hughes also translated works from classical authors, including Ovid and Aeschylus. Hughes was appointed Britain's Poet Laureate in 1984, a post he held until his death in 1998. Among his many awards, he was appointed to the Order of Merit, one of Britain's highest honors.Hughes married Carol Orchard in 1970, and the couple lived on a small farm in Devon until his death. His forays into translations, essays, and criticism were noted for their intelligence and range. Hughes continued writing and publishing poems until his death from cancer on October 28, 1998. A memorial to Hughes in the famed Poets' Corner of Westminster Abbey was unveiled in 2011.-bio via Poetry Foundation Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe
