S16 Ep870: Minions (2015, with Bob Mackey & Henry Gilbert of Talking Simpsons)

“We’re all Minions!” - Chris

On this week’s show, we welcome back our buds and Animation Experts, Talking Simpsons’ Bob Mackey and Henry Gilbert to help us chat about our little yellow guys’ first solo outing, Minions!

How did these little guys come to exist before humanity? What were the Minions up to between 1933 and 1945? Why did we need to hear all these insufferable needle drops? Why couldn’t we have stayed longer on the Minions working for Dracula? Should they have done a Take Two on some of these Big Celebrity Voice Castings? And doesn’t all this work much better without Gru and them kids? PLUS: Were the Minions just God’s perfect mistake?

Minions stars the voice talents of Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, Michael Keaton, Allison Janney, Steve Coogan, Jennifer Saunders, Geoffrey Rush, Steve Carell, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Pierre Coffin as The Minions; directed by Kyle Balda and Pierre Coffin.
