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.

Plus, we also discover the exact moment we branched timelines and went into quite possibly the shittiest iteration.And if you enjoy what we are doing here at the Pit and would like to support us further, please check us out our patreon, where we have exclusive extended episodes!

Neste episódio conduzimos uma instigante viagem pelos labirintos da memória e da nostalgia da infância, cruzando experiências pessoais, cultura pop e grandes reflexões filosóficas para compreender por que tantas vezes desejamos voltar ao passado. Entre diálogos com pensadores como Walter Benjamin e Friedrich Nietzsche, referências a Em Busca do Tempo Perdido e conexões com obras como Ratatouille, Brilho Eterno de uma Mente sem Lembranças e Stranger Things, refletimos sobre como cheiros, músicas, filmes e imagens despertam lembranças involuntárias e revelam que recordar não é simplesmente reviver, mas reconstruir o passado a partir do presente. Ao abordar infância, memória coletiva, arte, ditadura, cultura dos anos 80 e 90 e o medo de esquecer quem fomos, o episódio convida o ouvinte a perceber que a nostalgia pode ser mais do que saudade: pode ser também uma forma crítica e sensível de compreender a si mesmo e o tempo em que vive.

Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 The Jo(h)n Squad is back to give their CARS Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review! John Humphrey and Jon Maturan rev up their reaction and review of Pixar's 2006 animated classic Cars, a high-energy, heartwarming story about speed, humility, and finding purpose off the beaten path. The film follows hotshot rookie race car Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson, Wedding Crashers, Midnight in Paris), whose obsession with winning lands him stranded in the forgotten desert town of Radiator Springs on the way to the Piston Cup Championship. What begins as an inconvenience slowly becomes a life-changing detour as Lightning learns the value of friendship, community, and slowing down to appreciate the journey. Along the way, Lightning forms an unlikely bond with wise tow truck Mater (Larry the Cable Guy, Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector, Cars 2), sparks a romance with determined attorney Sally Carrera (Bonnie Hunt, Jumanji, Toy Story 4), and gains mentorship from legendary racer Doc Hudson (Paul Newman, Cool Hand Luke, The Hustler). Packed with iconic moments like Lightning's crash on Route 66, Mater's hilarious tractor-tipping escapades, Doc's reveal as the Hudson Hornet, and the emotional Piston Cup finale, Cars blends laugh-out-loud humor with Pixar's signature emotional storytelling. We break down the film's themes of legacy, ego, and redemption, why Radiator Springs remains one of Pixar's most memorable worlds, and how Cars became a beloved franchise for generations of fans.

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. With the newest Pixar movie “Hoppers” coming out of March 6th, this week we are going back and featuring past films from Pixar. On today's episode, Mirandia Berthold is reviewing “Ratatouille” from 2007 starring Patton Oswalt, Brad Garrett, Lou Romano, Peter O'Toole & Ian Holm.
Send us a textThis week on the podcast, Heather tackles a recipe for ratatouille, the classic French vegetable casserole. The recipe she uses is from none other than Julia Child, and if you've read one of her recipes, you know that can sometimes be a challenge in itself. Let's go! Ratatouille is usually made with eggplant, squash, tomatoes, onion and peppers. It's obviously going to be better when these are in season, but we had it mid-winter and it was still delicious. You can even use canned tomatoes if that's your best option. Heather discovers the key to this recipe is cooking each of the veggies separately (well, the eggplant and squash together, and the onions and peppers together). It's also important to cut them into similar sizes. Oh, and salt the eggplant and squash in advance so they sweat out extra moisture and keep their structure. In the end, following Julia's long-winded instructions was well worth it. We'd tried ratatouille before that was all baked together at the same time, and it wasn't nearly as satisfying as this method of cooking each thing separately and then assembling it at the end. Plus this is all prepared on the cooktop, which made it super easy and didn't require turning on the oven. Bon appétit!Get the ratatouille recipe!

Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 Greg, Coy, & Jon check out one of Pixar's ALL-TIME Greatest, giving their Ratatouille Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review! Greg Alba, Coy Jandreau, & Jon Maturan react to Ratatouille (2007), Pixar's beloved culinary fairy tale directed by Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol). Set against the romantic backdrop of Paris, the film celebrates creativity, passion, and the idea that greatness can come from anywhere—even a kitchen rat with a dream. Patton Oswalt (The King of Queens, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) voices Remy, a food-obsessed rat with an extraordinary sense of taste and smell who longs to become a chef. His unlikely partnership with garbage boy Alfredo Linguini (Lou Romano – Cars, Monsters, Inc.) leads to some of the film's most iconic moments, including the ingenious hair-pulling cooking sequences and the frantic kitchen chaos as Remy secretly runs the restaurant from above. The cast is rounded out by Ian Holm (The Lord of the Rings, Alien) as culinary idol Chef Gusteau, Janeane Garofalo (The Truth About Cats & Dogs, Wet Hot American Summer) as the tough but talented Colette Tatou, and Peter O'Toole (Lawrence of Arabia, Troy) as the feared critic Anton Ego.

We continue our Pixar 2000s miniseries with one of the studio's most unexpectedly profound films: Ratatouille. Joined by Brooke Solomon and Jordan Gustafson of The Queer Quadrant, we dig into why this movie about a rat who cooks somehow became one of Pixar's most emotionally resonant works.We talk about Ratatouille as a love letter to food, Paris, and creative ambition; the film's quietly radical worldview; the cultural impact of “ratatouilling” someone; and why the movie asks us to accept its reality completely or not at all. Plus: gay rat discourse, cursed 2007 box office math, and why this might be Pixar at the absolute height of its powers.Brooke Solomon & Jordan Gustafson co-hosts of The Queer Quadrant
Why does The Great British Baking Show feel soothing while Hell's Kitchen activates our nervous systems? In this episode of Put Your Books Down, Natalie Sanderson Jones and Angela Bingham dive into the psychology of cooking shows, celebrity chefs, and why watching adults scream over risotto is somehow considered entertainment. From Gordon Ramsay's public persona versus his real-life charm, to Paul Hollywood's quietly terrifying handshake, the hosts unpack why kindness feels radical in competition television. They compare Top Chef, Hell's Kitchen, The Bear, and British Baking, explore whether chefs have to be ruthless to succeed, and break down why some shows feel emotionally safe while others feel exhausting. Along the way: Ratatouille metaphors, chef egos, true crime comfort viewing, spatchcocked chickens, and why yelling is not a personality. If you love pop culture analysis, food TV debates, and honest conversations about why some shows calm us while others overwhelm us, this episode delivers.

1999 was a great year for movies. Almost too great. It didn't help that I found myself so busy with work that my focus on film couldn't be what it used to be. So while I am a big fan of “The Iron Giant,” I was also one of those people who didn't go to see it in the theater and contributed to its “flop” status. That summer was stacked with films like “The Sixth Sense” and “The Blair Witch Project,” and it was easy for something quieter and more thoughtful to get lost. While that is bad, the good news is that I was also one of the people who took to it on home video and picked it up on DVD as soon as it was available. I can still remember watching it for the first time at home and being floored by how much heart it had. I start the episode talking about my experiences with the film before moving onto the film itself. I discuss the people who made the film, its source material, other adaptations, the people who lent their voices to the film, its reception, music, and much more. It's worth noting that the director, Brad Bird, would later go on to make “The Incredibles” and “Ratatouille,” which shows just how much talent was already on display in this debut. Unfortunately, Warner Bros. had no idea how to market the film at the time, which didn't help its chances at the box office. The Iron Giant has become a cult hit and is well loved, but it's not enough. A surprising number of people have never seen the film, and I think that's a shame. It's a thoughtful film, filled with wonder and spectacle, that will capture the imagination of kids and adults alike. Its story of fear, empathy, and the power of choice feels even more relevant today. So if you haven't seen it, prepare to fall in love with a giant robot.
