Episode description
Time for Sony to atone for the Emoji Movie again - we have the delightful Netflix animated movie The Mitchells vs. the Machines! We talk about Sony's fall from grace and its subsequent renaissance, as well as Illumination's steady decline from day one; the madcap humor of Lord and Miller; and the interesting wrinkle added to the overplayed and underdeveloped "technology=bad" storyline. (Our thanks to Mad Jack from the Tennessee Pirate Festival - https://www.tmfaire.com/ - and check out our recommendation The Empress of Salt and Fortune by Nghi Vo on audibletrial.com/marriedtotheidea)
