With a couple weeks to kill, the boys needed a series of just two movies. Matt needed look no further than a series he’s been wanting to talk about for years. That of Pixar’s The Incredibles.

As John Lassiter was building his Toy Story infused empire, writer/director Brad Bird was making The Iron Giant. A movie that was received well by critics but completely flopped at the box office. Lassiter brought Bird onboard and encouraged Bird to expand that superhero idea he had swirling in his head since they were in college.

The result is a hugely successful superhero film released four years before the Marvel revolution. Listen in to see if Matt, Adam, and the always skeptical Garrett agree with that sentiment. And be sure to turn in next week as they review the sequel to the film that was fourteen years in the making.
