Talk From Superheroes

We're continuing mechanical month and this week we're talking about The Iron Giant. We talk about how much we love this movie despite Diana being wrong about having seen it before, a perfect joke that knocked our socks off, the mix of comedy and emotion, and the absolute horrors WB would do with this movie if it were released today.

We're continuing mechanical month with Alita: Battle Angel. We get into words that mean other words, cool character design, what constitutes a gun, and the rules of motor ball. 

We're spending this entire month analyzing our future overlords, we're talking about robots, and we're starting with Robocop. We talk about how the people of Detroit feel about this movie, the benefits of theme without subtlety, Oscar nominated sound design, and filming without pants.
