Pinocchio

Here's some truth…it's March! We're on the other side of winter, people. Somebody wished upon a star, didn't they? Well, anyway, the Next 185 Project analyzes Disney's ultimate morality tale, although we took issue with how this animated classic teaches kids these lessons. Those plotlines had us asking many Reasonably Good Questions. One big takeaway? Don't trust adults! But do toe the line and, clearly, your nose will get very big if you lie. So go into this episode knowing that Jiminy Cricket is a dreadful choice to be anyone's conscience, the Blue Fairy is a false face who might actually be the movie's villain and—the fact you've known for years—Disney is quite simply our corporate lord and master.

Well, Actually…: Fantasia came out at the end of 1940, while Pinocchio was released in February of 1940.

Airport

The podcast rulebook says you have to cover a plane movie for episode #747, so I went with the daddy of the '70s disaster craze. The planes are 707s in Airport, but oh well. George Seaton writes & dir...

The Rock

Moulin Rouge

The first episode of a non-theme month here in June (and the 743rd overall) gets loud about Baz Luhrmann's bombastic Moulin Rouge. It's the kind of zany project where the director and star of this Par...
