Like most men, the boys are finishing prematurely. They discuss their final time watching A Bug's Life, Vecna, Funko Pops, and how there is absolutely, under no circumstances a secret episode coming out in two weeks. This is the end. Shut your eyes and count to 10. Ok, bye
It's heimlich maneuver after dark, so you know what that means... MAD LIBS! The boys struggle through their 19th rewatch of A Bug's Life but there are plenty of tangents to liven things up, and did I mention Mad Libs?
Jacob Hersh (the Alaskan Landmine) returns, but the film Bug's Life does not. We discuss the classic that A Bug's Life is riffing on spanning from how Charles Bronson is Francis and three Mexican men become one Flik. What other members of the magnificent 7 are bugs life characters? Find out this episode!
Pixar is back with a new movie and the boys spend so much time not talking about it up front it's insane. They cover Angus' new website, hear a message from friend of show Patrick Cotnoir (Hey That's Me a Commentary Podcast, George Lucas Talk Show), chat the toy story 5 trailer, and of course the Arrowverse. If you give it a good 40 minutes, they do talk intelligently about the movie, I swear.
Emma Patterson returns to the show to talk Ivan guarders, Heimlich trains, hopper (and Lassator) fears on this tangent and fun filled episode of the Heimlich Maneuver!
Forget it, Jake. It's Roku city. Lucas Brawner returns to the show to put the final nail in the Bug's Life coffin. The boys try to argue in the film's favor, but do they have the energy to do it anymore? Find out in this thrilling new episode!
Put on your 3D glasses as Adam returns to the show to talk 3D, IMAX, celebrity crushes, and why Pixar lost it's mogo. If Guru Pitka was hear, Pixar might get it back, but only Grant and Dimitri are (actually, just Dimitri. Grant's on the bowl), so they don't. Enjoy the ant facts this episode!
Somehow Patrick Cotnoir (George Lucas Talk Show, Hey That's Me: A Commentary Podcast) has returned and the boys are giddy to discuss Angus, Fleaby, Robots (1998), and various other off topic tangents. As always, one of the best eps of the season, enojy!Get tickets for tonight's GLTS at dynasty typewriterGet tickets to GLTS at SF SketchfestStar Wars Reading live stream tickets
Grant is at rockbottom, Dimitri less so, but they bring in Valerie Royer (browser bonoza, guest with the boys on the shrek forever after ep of what the hell happened to them) whose favorite Pixar film is A Bug's Life to reignite their flattering love for the film. However, they do spend the majority of the time talking about other things like Wicked For Good and Glee.
Is this the Easter episode? No? Well, it should be because our messiah, Angus MacClane, director of Lightyear, is back with a brand new movie announcement! We play a game to celebrate, chat about the Toy Story 5 teaser, Dimitri tries the same candies Grant and June did many moons again, oh, and I guess they talk A Bug's Life too.
Download into the grid because the boys and Braeden Bailey (creator of the Until Dawn Doesn't Come podcast) are talking Tron despite Dimitri having seen none of the films. Does this confuse you because the episode is called bloopers? Well, don't worry we get to those too but first we have to discuss the Blue Sky classic Robots. This off the rails episode is a hoot we hope you enjoy!Listen to our episode of Braeden's show:
Patrick Skehill (What the Hell Happened to Them podcast) revisits Bug's Life for the first time in nearly 30 years as the boys feel like they have been watching the movie for nearly 30 years. Pat details the boys with details about the sit com era most of the cast comes from, Dave Foley's alimony payments, and the Chinese novels he's been reading as Grant endlessly cackles at his own jokes. I'd mention a thing Dimitri does, but we learn he can't read this ep, so I don't have to bother because this description might as well be hieroglyphs to him!
The boys must must address the elephANT in the room: Antz. Listen as they try to fight speaking about this horrid picture that tried to destroy Bug's Life with distractions such as the Mandolorian and Grogu trailer, Dr. Doom, and of course game boy advance tie in games. They say you're closer with friends who hate the same things as you, so the boys have never been more united than when they are dunking on this dung heap of a film.
The boys are broken, but first time and phenomenal guest Elise Ewing raises their spirits by highlighting her and her family's love for our thespian caterpillar and giving our hosts an opportunity to spread the gospel of the Screenslaver. Is the audio on her a little low? Yes, but doing levels is for cowards. Surf the volume like you Julia Butters in Freakier Friday catching a gnarly wave. God, I really want a Snickers
Michael Kim (voice actor and host nugget outta here podcast) returns to the show despite technical difficulties and time delays to sing the praises of Heimlich, the horrific AI video turning the cast of Bug's Life into humans, and growing up on the film's Korean dub. Despite Grant being sleepier than ever, Mike and Dimitri make this episode sing like its Saturday Night even though its Tuesday.
Dimitri and Grant managed to trick another respectable person onto the show, this time writer and podcast extraordinaire Julia Prescott. She tells Dimitri the horrors of teaching an unruly Grant, the boys about the theme park land they never got to visit, and together they celebrate the all mighty Glorden (and maybe Dan Scanlon, even though he broke 11 year old Grant's heart)
The boys (Grant and Dimitri, not that rowdy bunch led by Billy Butcher) weep for Elio getting kicked in the teeth, speak about Sanjay's Super Team with everyone's favorite friend Fleaby, and discuss the last remaining material of A Bug's Life in Disneyland on this strangely on topic episode (until they spend a third of it on Superman). Enjoy! Or don't, I'm not your mom.
The boys turn a parasocial relationship social as they meet Chi Tran (director of Visa, and bloker2002 on letterboxd) and discuss what anyone would when getting acquainted: Sydney Sweeney's bath water, A Bug's Life, and the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards. Chi tells of his observations on the film when he was four, Grant breaks some volley rules, and Dimitri nearly goes full purple on this barn burner of an ep!
Dimitri and Grant cover their eyes an open their eyes this episode as the discuss the weirdly sensual audio description version of A Bug's Life, the terror of knowing about improv through osmosis, finally decide on how episodes should end.
In an episode that was gonna cover Grant watching all the behind the scenes material, the boys decide to talk about soap with Sydney Sweeney's bath water and Shark Tale (famously not A Shark's Tale). Do they need more structure? Absolutely
