Toy Story 4

Falling With Style: A Pixar Movie Marathon ·

2022/06/13

“They’re doing another one?!” Derek and Doug are joined again by Tommy from Distant Echoes: A Star Wars Podcast to talk about the sequel no one was expecting: Toy Story 4. Previously, Tommy hadn’t watched it and wasn’t sure he ever would. What’d he think? Where do we ultimately fall on whether a fourth Toy Story film was necessary after what many considered a perfect ending in Toy Story 3? How much can we gush about action hero Bo Peep? And what’s the deal with Forky? Film Release: June 21,

2022/05/13

Fans waited fourteen years for this sequel! Derek and Doug are talking about Incredibles 2, Pixar's follow-up to the family-focused superhero smash hit from 2004. It picks up moments after the first one left off, but how are things different both on and behind the screen? Does this installment have a clearer takeaway than the first? Who are our favorite new superheroes and what are our favorite Jack-Jack superpowers? And will Doug ever understand anything that Brad Bird says? Suit up, hit play, and

Pixar Says Gay

Falling With Style: A Pixar Movie Marathon ·

2022/04/17

On March 9, 2022, amidst national discussion over Florida's "Don't Say Gay" legislation, the LGBTQIA+ Employees of Pixar and their allies released a statement to Disney leadership challenging several claims that Disney is a company with a history of supporting LGBTQIA+ people. Among those claims was the massive assertion that "nearly every moment of overtly gay affection is cut [from Pixar' films] at Disney’s behest." We just wanted to talk about Pixar's statement, reflect on how it provides new

Coco

Falling With Style: A Pixar Movie Marathon ·

2022/04/13

Derek and Doug are joined this month by Stephania to talk about Coco, Pixar’s critically-adored love letter to Mexico. Look, Coco’s really good. Like really, really good. But what about Pixar’s not-quite-a-musical made it such a beloved story and massive success? How’d Lee Unkrich end up making a movie about Día de Muertos, and what's the story behind Adrian Molina becoming co-director? And what can creators learn about getting stories like Coco right? We dig into it all. Film Release: November 22,

Cars 3

Falling With Style: A Pixar Movie Marathon ·

2022/03/13

It’s a… sports movie? Derek and Doug discuss the one movie that neither of them had seen prior to starting the podcast and the third entry in Pixar’s most polarizing series, Cars 3! It ignores the second film pretty much entirely, deals with themes more akin to Toy Story or Up, and passes the legacy of Lightning McQueen down to an unexpected protégé. Does Cars 3 correct the mistakes of Cars 2? Will this franchise ever end? And how did Doug feel about the one Pixar film he’d never seen? Tune in and

Finding Dory

Falling With Style: A Pixar Movie Marathon ·

2022/02/13

Derek and Doug are joined by Katie from Novel Gaming for a return to the ocean and Pixar’s beloved cast of aquatic characters. We’re talking about Finding Dory, a wildly successful sequel released thirteen years after its wildly successful predecessor, explores the diverse experiences of folks with disabilities, whether intentionally or not, and brings closure to Dory's story from Finding Nemo. Does it stick the landing, and does it live up to Nemo? Dive in with us to find out! Film Release: June

The Good Dinosaur

Falling With Style: A Pixar Movie Marathon ·

2022/01/13

Derek and Doug tackle a strange entry in Pixar’s canon and the only movie that neither of them particular cared for: The Good Dinosaur. But why? There are certainly good ideas and things that Pixar did right in its alternate reality dino film, but what is it about The Good Dinosaur that fails where pretty much every other Pixar film succeeds? What’s missing? And what was going on behind the scenes that may tell some of the story? Film Release: November 25, 2015 Discord Patreon E-mail us:

Inside Out

Falling With Style: A Pixar Movie Marathon ·

2021/12/13

Derek and Doug are joined this month by Emily, a behavioral analyst and applied improvisation practitioner, to take a dive deep into the mind. That’s right! We’ve made it to Inside Out! From the absolutely perfect casting and stunning visual effects to the perfectly balanced story of Riley and the emotions that take care of her, there’s nothing we can’t praise about one of Pixar’s finest.

2021/11/13

Hope you’ve had your coffee and studied up, because Doug and Derek are visiting one of the monster world’s most prestigious institutions of learning: Monsters University! And despite Derek thinking he wouldn’t have much to say about this flick (ha!), we actually dive pretty dang deep into failure, fear, and fraternity in Pixar’s first and only prequel to date.

Brave

Falling With Style: A Pixar Movie Marathon ·

2021/10/14

If you could change your fate... would you? We're talking about Brave, Pixar's Academy Award-winning fairy tale and a production full of firsts: Pixar's first historical film, first film to feature a female lead character, and first film to be directed by a woman (until it wasn't). We talk all about one of Pixar's bigger public controversies, the removal of director Brenda Chapman from her own film, and how it sheds light on more recent Pixar controversy. And of course, we spend plenty of time

Cars 2

Falling With Style: A Pixar Movie Marathon ·

2021/08/13

It’s a spy movie!? Derek and Doug are talking about Cars 2, a film derided by many as Pixar’s worst and a low-point for the studio. But is Cars 2 actually a bad movie? Stunning destinations across the globe, a star-studded cast, a plot involving Big Oil, and… more machine guns than you’d expect? Lots to consider in our conversation about this very weird, very unexpected spy comedy set in the world of Cars. Film Release: June 24, 2011 Join our new Discord!

Toy Story 3

Falling With Style: A Pixar Movie Marathon ·

2021/07/14

Derek and Doug are joined by friend of the podcast Tommy to talk about Toy Story 3, the movie that, at the time, we all thought was the end of the Toy Story saga. We get into growing up and letting go, contemplating existence after relationships fade, the significance of garbage throughout the story, just how far Pixar evolved since its first film, tortilla body horror, and much, much more. We also talk about the Toy Story 3 movie we nearly got from Disney without any involvement from Pixar at all

Up

2021/06/13

Derek and Doug are joined by friend of the podcast Cassie to talk about the Pixar film that can make you cry in eight minutes flat: Up. How did Pixar manage to make a movie starring an old man flying his house to South America work so incredibly well? How does Up prepare us for future Peter Docter creations? And what does Up say about dreams, grief, and the way we view elderly folks in the real world? Stay through the end to hear us chat with animator Sam Palmer who shares his background and his

Derek and Doug are joined by friend of the podcast Josh to talk about the final lunch meeting movie released nearly 15 years after it was conceived: WALL-E. Why did it take so long, and how did the final product benefit from the wait? What can we take away from Pixar’s ambitious post-apocalyptic romance? And is WALL-E a creep or nah? Stay 'til the end to hear us chat with an Amazon worker about how their experience working for the real-life giant corporation colors the way they view WALL-E and its

Ratatouille

2021/04/13

Derek and Doug are joined by Kevin from The 3028 podcast to talk about Pixar’s critically acclaimed, commercially successful, but often overlooked culinary masterpiece Ratatouille. How does a film with a strange-but-perfect recipe for success—a recipe that garnished, er, garnered it plenty of success at the time—end up leaving a seemingly rodent-sized cultural footprint?

It’s the Cars episode! Derek and Doug are joined by Dallin and Amanda from the Lost in the Vault Podcast to try to determine: does Cars cross the finish line strong, or is it Pixar’s first wreck? Where does it speed ahead of its Pixar predecessors, and where should it have stopped in the pit for a few extra tune-ups? And what did Derek think of the first Pixar movie he’d never seen even once prior to Falling With Style? Tune in and find out! Lost in the Vault Podcast: @LostVaultCast Dallin on

The Incredibles

Falling With Style: A Pixar Movie Marathon ·

2021/02/13

Derek and Doug leave their capes at home and suit up for a very important mission: dissect The Incredibles, Pixar’s iconic superhero movie and first film to feature an entirely human cast. For the first time ever, Pixar tapped an outside director and gave them more creative control than ever before. Clearly the risk paid off, but what did that mean for Pixar—and for animation as a medium—moving forward? Listen in and find out!

Monsters, Inc.

Falling With Style: A Pixar Movie Marathon ·

2020/12/13

Derek and Doug visit the world of monsters in Pixar’s fourth feature film, Monsters, Inc. Pixar’s “fur movie,” Monsters, Inc. is a wildly ambitious movie technically, but do its characters, relationships, and narrative stack up to the strides it clearly makes in animation? How does the world of monsters work in relation to our own? What would’ve happened to all those kids if Randall’s plan worked? And how big exactly is Sulley’s tie? Only one way to find out!
