Ep30 – The Land Before Time + Dick Tracy
Join us in the nuclear waste bubble that is the City, where the dinosaurs are adorable and the humans are monstrosities! This week, we’re mashing up the Don Bluth animated classic, The Land Before Time, and comic strip-inspired Warren Beatty passion project, Dick Tracy. Listen on iTunes, Soundcloud, and Stitcher for a discussion of dinosaurs having two brains, crushing villains, the darkness of 90s movies for kids, and how Mad Max: Fury Road is the nexus point of all crossovers.
Heads up: things get real dark when discussing actress Judith Barsi, who voiced Ducky in The Land Before Time.
Where you can find this pop culture (as of show date):
