Over a decade and a half, Brad Bird felt like he couldn't miss. The critical darling Iron Giant. The massive successes of The Incredibles and Ratatouille. Pivoting to live action and helping resurrect the Mission: Impossible franchise. It felt like Bird was set up to be one of 'The' directors. What couldn't he do?
Well, 2015's Tomorrowland provides the answer.
An odd film that serves as a confluence of trends, tastes and artistic visions, it is somehow one of the most notable and interesting film's of its era and one that goes through you like a breeze. Tune in as Carter and Sydney talk plot vs story, cynicism, and kindof just putter around, because good lord this film is confounding.
