  • Ep 181 - Pixar Shorts #1 (Knick, Knack and No Knockers)

    5 MAY 2024 · An episode dedicated to the shorts before the main features? No only the first of a series of episodes cataloguing the rise of the Pixar shorts and the highs, lows and terrors they inflicted upon people. These have left their marks for better and in one particular case worse.

  • Ep 180 - Coraline

    28 APR 2024 · Laika's first foray into production as themselves. This film defined them in the popular consciousness for better or worse, how does it stand up after all this time? Could they have done better? What fingerprints that later come to define the company can be found here? All this and a serious discussion about fictional houses in this episode.

  • Ep 179 - The Corpse Bride

    21 APR 2024 · So how does Laika do on a contract job for a auteur that can at times forget that film needs a story and can't coast by on visuals alone. Is this a good merging of creators or is it better that death parts this union quickly.

  • Ep 178 - Kubo and the Two Strings

    14 APR 2024 · The magnum opus of Laika productions but is it without flaws? Is stop motion a viable medium for samurai stories? Is origami a valid form of ques marker? All the questions asked and answered as we look at Kubo.

  • Ep 177 - Boxtrolls

    7 APR 2024 · The oft maligned and deemed lesser of Laika's productions is now getting a good look in through our eyes and like a judge of fine cheese (I assume there are cheese judges and competitions) we shall pour over all of the details and find deeper meaning than others maybe thought was there.

  • Ep 176 - Paranorman

    31 MAR 2024 · Stop motion, horror and a moral about acting out in fear. Just a small portion that makes this Laika film what it is and we are digging it up, casting a spell and seeing if their is magic in this film or if we should just leave it alone to its visions.

  • Ep 175 - Elementary vs BBC

    24 MAR 2024 · Elementary wins goodnight. There are reasons we list out and we try to not devolve into just listing the bungling of one of the most popular detectives in known fiction but we don't need to be Sherlock to figure out it's just Elementary our dear Watsons.

  • Ep 174 - New Mysteries

    17 MAR 2024 · Finally we hit the mid point of any character story to archetype pipeline, when we start making our own stories with characters that are only vaguely reminiscent of the book characters. Who handled this changed better Guy Ritchie with RDJ playing the well known detective or Disney with their small rodents in a hidden world that looks like ours?

  • Ep 173 - The Early Films

    10 MAR 2024 · The clues are being uncovered in the murder of the Sherlock Holmes character and his stories. We found the first set here with Basil Rathbone and Jeremy Brett's filmed adaptations. How will this connect to the larger picture if at all? Let's begin to unravel this mystery.

  • Ep 172 - The Sherlock Books

    3 MAR 2024 · Now in a trend we accidentally started last year we look at another character archetype borne from a popular English literature character. Using deductive methods we will find out how this character was murdered in public knowledge and those who are responsible. But before we find the guilty parties we must start at the beginning....with Arthur Conan Doyle's books.
