June 03, 2018

In anticiption of The Incredibles 2, Shawn Eastridge and John Mills (Aggressive Negotiations, Great Shot Kid) go back to Brad Bird's feature debut The Iron Giant. Released in 1999 to rave reviews, the film ended up a box office dud due to a notoriously poor marketing campaign. In the years since its release it's been hailed as a modern animated classic. John discusses his first viewing of the film and whether or not it lived up to his expectations. In addition he and Shawn discuss whether the film would have been more popular if it had been released today.
