Talking The Mickey

Ep 58 - Wall-E (Crossover w/ Best Film Ever)

Listen Later

This week we're going to the dystopian future for a love story between Johnny Five and the latest Apple HomePod in Wall-E.  Join your favourite Disney Podcasters – Ellie, Ethan, Georgia, and Ian - alongside Liam from Best Film Ever - as we allow Disney/Pixar to lecture us about the dangers of big corporations taking over the world. It's a humanity-filled 58th episode as we discuss:

  • How a single lunch meeting brought us a decade of Pixar releases
  • We discuss the similarities between Wall-E's character design and the main attraction from the Short Circuit series of films
  • We ask if children from 7-14 would love a dialogue free (and therefore, largely joke-free) film
  • We gush over some of the visual sequences both on Earth and off
  • Does Pixar just repurpose The Little Mermaid for their own use (that's an awfully Wall-E thing to do actually)
  • Ian imagines a remaking of the film with American rapper Wale in the titular role
  • We all start to feel a bit hypocritical about our own screen usage.
  • Ian discusses the ridiculousness of burger imagery to a society that's never eaten a proper hamburger
  • Whether or not this a glorified silent film
  • Whether or not Wall-E is the Best PIxar Film yet

    • If that wasn't enough for you, we've got some more content from friend of the podcast, Andrew, in our Pause for the Parks segment.

    So, catch up on some great Disney content and then join the conversation (@talkthemickey), Instagram (@talkingthemickey), or on our Facebook page (@talkingthemickey).  If you comment, you may end up among our 'shoutouts of the week.’
