    Holy pandemic, Batman! A new episode! In our final episode of the series, Dee, Carrie and Havana take a trip down memory lane with a review of the 2000 animated sci-fi film, 'Titan A.E.'. Join us as we discuss the film's impact on the animated sci fi genre and its relevance in the pre-9/11 media landscape. We're also excited to have our first guest since the beginning of the pandemic, Alan Tupper, to share his thoughts on the film as we dig into the film's production. Did you know that pre-production development alone cost $30 million?! Wowza. Tune in to the discussion on the animation, voice acting, and the overall story, as we bid farewell to The Bluth Society series.

    A Troll in Central Park

    A Troll in Central Park

    Making $71,368 in the box office, Troll in Central Park is Bluth’s lowest grossing film to date. This week, Carrie, Dee, and Havana reluctantly watch this train wreck and bounce ideas on how they would re-write the movie. Troll is a testament to what happens when your creative ego gets too big.

    Thumbelina

    Is Prince Cornelious the G.O.A.T? Carrie, Havana, and Dee discuss. The ladies get technical today as we talk about storytelling mechanisms and debate whether or not the character arcs and story structure work well in this film and become Cornelious stans along the way.
