This week Caitlin and Ira stop by the farm to discuss the environmentally literate, rat-loving adventure known as the Secret of NIMH. Don Bluth’s beautiful animated fantasy is from 1981; one of the last years it was totally ok to make deeply weird and upsetting movies for kids. Keep an eye out for a few drops of cartoon blood.

Today we are talking about what we can all agree, no questions asked, no debate necessary, is the greatest film of all time, according to local podcast host and cartoon mogul Caitlin Cadieux. Jump into the super-collider with us as try to wrap our brains around what makes this movie so dang good.

Join us today as we journey beyond the veil and into Pixar’s Soul, the latest and possibly the last film we’ll see helmed by Pete Docter from the studio. In many ways, Soul feels like a true culmination of the past two decades of Pixar’s work – and certainly of Pete Docter’s oeuvre. Vibe with us in the Great Beyond as we comb over the hall of every last little thing in Soul!
