Not the least of which because the tyrant that the masses learn to stand up against in that movie is voiced by an evil monster who predated on children.

A Bug's Life is probably one of the more underrated Pixar movies, but it's so important right now.

It does. I like the contrast between both your views on the episode. You didn’t like the prank Peter Sam’s crew plays on Duncan & Tug loved how it leaves it ambiguous whether the engine is real. I’ve thought for ages you two would play off that episode well. But we’ll see.

Have you ever considered a Thomas themed crossover with The Unlucky Tug? You both had very different opinions on Duncan gets Spooked & I’d love to see you debate each other about it and other great episodes of the show.

Every autistic person who identifies as a conservative should have their politics tested and continuously be asked if they approve what Trump, RFK jr., and the current administration are doing with how they’re treaiting autism, because even they know that, after trans people, they’re next.

An (allegedly) crappy remake of a classic tv show that was a mess behind the scenes and who’s director has made at least one good movie before this (National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation) also no longer the worst thing Ralph fiennes has done since he’s defended JK Rowling in the past

I’ve come to expect that when someone in Hollywood neither confirms or denies something than that most likely means it’s true. Exhibit A: Willem Dafoe before No Way Home. I quote: "When a film comes out, that's when it's time to talk about it,"
