Welcome to NOT ANOTHER 2001 MOVIE PODCAST’s first bonus episode!

This episode's a lot something different than a normal one: it's an interview! Paul Germain and Joe Ansolabehere, the creators of RECESS and key creatives in plenty of other things you’ve watched (THE SIMPSONS, RUGRATS, HEY ARNOLD!), joined Josh for a discussion about their time working in television and their feature film RECESS: SCHOOL’S OUT, which released in February 2001.

Joe, who lives in New Zealand, had some technical difficulties along the way but we powered through it with aplomb. We can’t thank Paul and Joe enough for joining the show in its infancy!

Does RECESS: SCHOOL’S OUT matter in 2026? Let’s hear it out from some completely biased sources!

Beans. Bacon. Lard. Whiskey. What more does a person need for an undersea mission?

ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE was a bonafide flop for Disney when it dropped in June 2001 but has enjoyed a cult following since. Why didn’t this animated adventure connect with families in 2001 and what makes it able to persist? Michael J. Fox stars as the film’s hero, Milo, and the official position of this podcast is that … might have been a bad call?

A family heirloom is at the heart of this story, and thus those make for a fitting bonus-feature topic this week.

Does ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE matter in 2026? Listen and find out.

We’re displaying anything but model behavior this week as we dive into ZOOLANDER.

Ben Stiller stars as the titular fashion model who’s recruited to kill a foreign leader, which in 2001 was just another absurd comic premise but in 2026 sounds incredibly plausible. There’s even a man in the movie who’s demented and deranged enough to try that. Spoiler: he’s the current president of the United States.

In our bonus-feature segment, we ponder what happened to supermodels and how ZOOLANDER might look if it were remade today.

And we ask and answer the question: does ZOOLANDER matter in 2026? Give us your best Blue Steel and listen!
