Episode 9: Treasure Planet

“Dang it Jim, I’m an astronomer not a doctor!"
-Treasure Planet (2002)
Hello Loyal Listeners! With so many classic iterations to choose from for this boyhood pirate adventure, we finally landed on Treasure Planet (2002)! Listen to us chat about Disney’s classically maligned/under-appreciated animation box office bomb as we explore the Treasure Island storyline! In space! From throwing in a board (surf or skate, you choose) so kids can relate and Scroop the evil crab that makes you want to poop, to interspecies cat/dog mating dynamics, Morph’s “Airbud moment” and Jim Hawkin’s kill count and killer (questionable?) haircut, we’ve got it all! But most importantly: justice for Mr. Arrow! Hope you enjoy!
