About this Episode

We take a break from our X-Men coverage to revisit the emotional world of Pixar's Inside Out. We discuss the film's unique approach to visualizing childhood emotions, the impact of the voice cast, and the surprisingly poignant moments—like the sacrifice of Bing Bong—that left us feeling everything. We also share our thoughts on the short film Lava, discuss the potential for future Pixar sequels, and touch on the legal controversy surrounding the movie's origins. Ultimately, it’s a film that resonates with us for its honest look at how we process change and memory.

Hey you guys, this is The Mask, and you guys

are listening to the Geekcast Radio Network.

And you know what? You are smoking! Hello and

welcome to episode 80 of ToonCast Beyond, brought

to you by the GeekCast Radio Network. I am one

of your hosts, TFG1Mike, and joining me is Eduardo.

Hello, sir. Hey, how's it going? It's going.

And in between our X -Men coverage, we are going

to be talking about a very emotional Pixar film.

Inside Out is what we'll be talking about. I've

never shared with you my motto for what I consider

to be the Pixar motto, have I? I don't think

so. Yeah, well, for me, with Pixar movies, especially

those directed by Pete Docter, I think that the

motto should be, Pixar, your tears sustain us.

Oh, boy. Yeah. If you're not crying like a baby,

we're not doing our job. Exactly. Your tears

should be paying for our kids' college educations

forever. Pretty much. Absolutely. So when did

you first... Well, this movie came out two years

ago, but are you that big of a Pixar fan? You're

like, oh my god, I have to go see this in theaters.

No, but I am a Disney fan. My wife is a Disney

fan. So, of course, new Pixar movie. We had to

go see it. Had to go see it. Had to. Had to.

And just, wow, we should have. It's like I warned

people. I warned people about Coco with this.

And it's like, yeah, bring tissue. Actually,

I said it plural. I said tissues. Exactly. if

you've got an issue here's a tissue um all right

so i i'm the same i'm kind of the same way i'm

a disney fan i'm a pixar fan to a certain extent

there are several pixar movies i do not like

at least pixar did not almost kill me so there's

that dreamworks when i did that spotlight way

back when on this podcast uh season when originally

tooncast beyond was going to have nine different

quote -unquote seasons where we talk about various

things from a specific genre of cartoon thing,

and one of those was going through, at the time,

all of the currently released DreamWorks films.

I think by the time I hit Flushed Away, I was

done. Like, I never wanted to watch a DreamWorks

movie ever again. But yeah, anyway, I am a Disney

fan, I am a Pixar fan. Pixar is so much better

than, obviously, some of the DreamWorks stuff.

I don't think I saw this one in theaters. If

I did, I don't remember. It's been too long at

this point. Too much crap has happened in my

life, and too much crap and too much good stuff

has happened in my life for the last two years

that I don't remember seeing this in theaters.

I remember seeing it on media and whatever else,

so there's that. We do have Just the Facts, folks.

We're going to get to our segment monkey from

the Great White North, JT from Saskatoon, for

Just the Facts. We'll be back after this. Hey

guys, it's JT from Saskatoon here with a Just

the Facts on Inside Out. Riley Anderson is a

little girl growing up in Minnesota and inside

her head are joy, sadness, fear, disgust, and

anger. Five basic emotions that guide Riley as

she experiences her life. Joy acts as the leader

of the group, directing everything so as to keep

Riley happy and carefree. As a result, sadness

is often shunned by the rest and kept away from

the control console inside their HQ. Riley's

experiences are converted into memories in the

form of colored orbs and stored in her long -term

memory every night as she sleeps. Her core memories

are stored in hubs that power emotional islands

that form her personality. However, after turning

11, Riley is uprooted from her happy life and

moves with her family to San Francisco when her

dad starts a new business. The move does not

go well for the family, their possessions are

lost in the move, and their new home is old and

in disrepair. And Riley begins to feel neglected

by her father, who is too busy with his new business

to be there for his daughter. These poor first

encounters lead to Riley crying in front of her

new class and embarrassing herself, after sadness

touches the control console. This creates a sad

core memory, and Joy tries to get rid of it in

a panic, causing her, sadness, and the other

core memories to be sucked out of HQ and into

the maze of Riley's long -term memory. With joy

and sadness gone, anger, fear, and disgust attempt

to maintain Riley's emotional stability, but

they ultimately fail and anger makes the decision

to influence Riley to go back to Minnesota, thinking

this will cause her to make new, happy memories.

Meanwhile, joy and sadness are wandering the

memory storage and come across Bing Bong, Riley's

childhood imaginary friend. He suggests they

ride the train of thought back to HQ, but the

ride is cut short when Riley falls asleep. They

use her dreams to wake her up and to continue

their trip, but are derailed once again when

one of her personality islands collapses and

Riley steals her mom's credit card to run away.

Joy abandons Sadness at this point, believing

that she will only hurt Riley further. But on

her journey back to HQ, Joy and Bing Bong get

stuck in the memory dump. Breaking down, Joy

starts to lose hope, but rediscovers a forgotten

sad memory that became happy, prompting her to

realize Sadness serves a very important function

after all. Her resolve restored, Joy and Bing

Bong attempt to escape from the memory dump with

the core memories, using Bing Bong's wagon rocket,

only to realize they are too heavy to make the

jump. Bing Bong nobly sacrifices himself by jumping

into the memory dump, allowing Joy to escape.

She reunites with Sadness and apologizes, and

together they make their way back to HQ. They

discover that anger has destroyed the control

console, rendering Riley depressed and apathetic.

To the surprise of the rest, Joy allows Sadness

to reinstall the core memories, turning them

sad, which in turn snaps Riley out of her funk.

Returning home, Riley breaks down crying, apologizing

to her parents, telling them that she misses

life in Minnesota, which her parents acknowledge

and reciprocate because they miss Minnesota too.

As Riley processes this, a new island starts

to form, representing her acceptance of her new

situation. As we end the film, we move forward

a year, and we see Riley is now happy once again,

having adapted to her new home, making new friends,

and discovering new hobbies. All of this has

happened under the direction of the five emotions

who are now working from a new console, allowing

them all to contribute to Riley's emotional growth.

Released on June 19, 2015, Inside Out is the

15th film made by Pixar, the production company

behind Toys R Us and Monsters, Inc. The film

was directed by Peter Docter, who also directed

the 2009 Pixar film Up, and contributed his own

story ideas and concepts to the scriptwriting

process. The five emotions were voiced by SNL

alum Amy Poehler as Joy, Phyllis Smith as Sadness,

Louis Black as Anger, rather appropriate when

you think about it, Bill Hader as Fear, and Mindy

Kaling as Disgust. The cast also featured Richard

Kind as Bing Bong, Caitlin Diaz as Riley, Gene

Smart and Kyle MacLachlan as Riley's parents,

as well as the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea, the

legendary Frank Oz, and Pixar mainstay John Ratzenberger

in other various roles. From conception in 2009

to its 2015 release, Inside Out took almost six

years of development, the script alone taking

four years by itself, according to the director.

The film was produced on a budget of $175 million

and eventually came away with $857 million at

the box office, making it the 14th most successful

animated film of all time and the 7th most successful

film of 2015. Critics were united in their praise

of the film, many calling it a return to form

for Pixar. The overwhelmingly positive reviews

and praise for Inside Out have generated a Metacritic

score of 94 out of 100 and a certified fresh

98 % satisfaction rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Honestly, Inside Out is one of the Pixar movies

that I identify with the most. The story of conflicting

emotions, having to deal with unwanted changes,

and the creation of new memories is one that

really got to me. It's a beautiful film. It lets

kids know that it's okay to be sad sometimes.

No, I'm not crying. Shut up. This has been Just

the Facts for Inside Out. I'm JT from Saskatoon.

Back to you guys. We are back. Thank you so much,

JT from Saskatoon, for just the facts on Inside

Out. The plot of this movie is really interesting.

Exploring a child's emotions. I don't think I've

seen that before, at least in animation. Not

in a Disney -Pixar kind of scale. Yeah, it's

something that's Pixar's... bread and butter.

Taking objects that don't have human feelings

and giving them human feelings. Whether it's

cars, whether it's Toy Story, whether it's this

movie, and even whether it's A Bug's Life. Yeah.

Absolutely. Because we all know ants is better.

That's the one DreamWorks movie I'll say was

so much better than A Bug's Life. That had Sly

Stallone, didn't it? Yep. As a giant ant. So

this movie... Basically, it explores Riley at

the age of 11 and her emotions and all of that.

They show these emotions and Riley's memories

as this whole factory. Her emotions are split

up into different islands, which I think is cool.

She and her parents move to San Francisco for

her father's new business. That's it, San Francisco.

You've officially ruined pizza. Yeah, I'm sorry.

I gotta agree with Anger on that one. That's

not pizza, dude. That's a lot of things that's

not pizza. I don't even think a turtle of the

Teenage Mutant Ninja Variety would have pizza

in San Francisco. Like, uh -uh. Well, at least

not the broccoli thing. Yeah, so, yeah, Anger

is my favorite. Yeah. It's Louis Black. I mean,

how can you go wrong? Perfect. Well, the voice

cast was spot on. Like, I like the choices for

the voice cast. Absolutely. Definitely. Yeah,

voice cast, you have Amy Poehler as Joy. Phyllis

Smith as Sadness. Louis Black as Anger. Bill

Hader as Fear. Mindy Kaling as Disgust. Which

is really, really fun. You've got Richard Kind

as Bing Bong. Oh, God. Oh, Bing Bong. Mark from

Mad About You. Mark and Fran. Oh, Lord. That's

an oldie. That's an oldie and a goodie. You got

Yoda in this as the subconscious guard, Dave.

Yep. Frank Oz. You know, Disney now owns Star

Wars, which means they can call up the Star Wars

actors and be like, hey, want to be in this movie?

Yep. And you got... You got John Ratzenberger

as Fritz. What's a Pixar movie without Cliffy,

right? Oh, yeah. That's probably in his contract.

It's like, you know, I was going to go skiing

with my family. Nope, you're doing this Pixar

movie. But, you know, I don't have to be in it.

You are going to voice this guy on the street,

and you're going to love it, sir. You got my

soul, don't you? Yes. Yes, we do. Pretty much.

um what i loved is is because this is based around

riley's emotions showing the emotions of her

father and her like showing the parents emotion

it's just seeing how different worlds the two

parents are living in with their emotions like

absolutely love that well well it's stuff like

it's one of those things where you laugh because

it's like Yeah, that's probably exactly what's

going on in our heads. It's like, she's talking

to you, say something, say something! Just nod,

just nod! Nod, yeah. Yes, dear. Yes, dear. Exactly.

Or the wife closing her eyes and there's the

handsome Latin guy with the helicopter. It's

like, yep, I'm sure that's happened. I'm sure

there are a couple of times I... geek out too

much and my wife has the guy with the helicopter

in her head it's like yeah i know that's happening

i know that's happening i i accept it i accept

it i'm okay with it so basically what happens

here is is that joy she's the main emotion main

character i guess you could say out of the emotions

and she wants everything to be Shiny, happy people.

Nice, nice. Nothing bad ever fucking happens.

You're not living in the real world, Joy. And

they all, like, heaven forbid sadness do anything.

Like, oh my god. It's the end of the world if

sadness touches the controls at headquarters.

And sadness touched a control. Everybody freaks

out. Sadness leaves. Joy has to go after her.

yada yada yada leaving anger disgust and fear

back at headquarters to have some sort of i don't

know what the hell they're doing back there some

sort of office party or whatever they're they're

trying to keep it they're trying to keep the

whole thing together because joy is pretty much

the one that keeps it all together anyway i do

like the journey that joy and sadness go on With

going into the long -term memory and, you know,

rediscovering Riley's kind of long -forgotten

childhood kind of a thing. In the beginning of

the movie, when they have the interactions between

the emotions and the effects of what they do,

like out in the real world, like, you know, Riley

doesn't like something or whatever else, disgust

goes in there, hits a button, and it ends up

making Riley make a face or whatever. I like

that. I think that's funny. I think Anger could

use his own animated series. You'd have to have

Lewis Black on standby all the time. As we're

recording this, Star Wars The Last Jedi came

out and there's been some controversy. Hell,

you could do an entire multi -part episode of

Anger just being like, Damn it, why'd you do

that? Damn you, Lucasfilm and Disney. Damn it,

George, quit screwing with the movies. Yeah,

there you go. Anger watches the prequels. Metachlorians!

Metafreakingchlorians, are you kidding me? That

would be funny. That would be so funny. What

else about this did you like or didn't you like?

Was there anything that you didn't really care

for out of this one? Well, okay, well, first

of all, we gotta, like, turn back a little bit,

because before the movie was, you know, the usual

Pixar short, and this one was called Lava, about

a singing volcano. Volcanoes should not sing.

Yeah, I just, my thing is that... I'm like, OK,

so we have a singing volcano. This guy is watching

everybody hook up around him. And, you know,

here he is, poor guy, you know, not getting any.

And then it's like what just what gets me is,

you know, he's singing. It's like it's like that,

you know, that that version of Somewhere Over

the Rainbow, that's kind of Hawaiian. Right.

Right. It's like I hate that song. I hate it

because it feels like every time I hear it, it's

something depressing. Like they use it in the

movie 50 First Dates. I hate 50 First Dates.

I think it's the most depressing thing I've ever

seen in my entire life. Oh, come on. That movie

is funny. No, it's depressing because this poor

woman can't remember anything. Like imagine all

the moments. It's like every day is this. slog

because she has to remember shit but that's the

point that's the point of that movie though because

she meets him and he wants to make her remember

every day so he goes about doing all these things

to be able to have like by the end of the movie

they're on the boat in Alaska she wakes up first

thing she sees is the videotape and she remembers

so she's okay for the day like you know no but

it's like no because it's like You know, she

can't even remember that she has a kid. It's

like, God, that's sad. Okay, so now I'm going

to throw you under the bus. Are you telling me

if Trish got into a car accident and she lost

her long -term memory and she only had short

-term or whatever it was that Lucy had, like

all that stuff, you mean to tell me you would

not? Make her fall in love with you every day

for the rest of your lives after that? Okay,

oh, well, yes. Yes, yes, I would. Okay, of course

you would. That's the same thing. That's what

that movie is. Okay, there's one thing about

real life. Another thing about movies. Like,

I'm one of those that I like to, that with a

few exceptions, I like to kind of get away from,

you know, I don't like to be depressed in film.

So, like, for example, The Descendants with George

Clooney and that Divergent Girl. Shailene Woodley

or however you pronounce her name. Oh yeah, it's

a good movie, but wow, it's depressing as hell.

And I think that uses that thing of somewhere

over the rainbow again. You want to know what's

really depressing as hell? You said Descendants.

The first thing I thought of was that stupid

Disney crap. I had a feeling. I had a feeling.

But the other thing for me is I think the kicker.

The kicker for me with somewhere over the rainbow,

the tropical version, has to be the TV show ER.

because they killed Anthony Edwards' character,

and his death scene is pretty much set to that

song. So I'm just like, okay, yeah. Yeah, no,

I'm done. I'm like, I can't. I can't listen to

the song because I'm like, oh, shit, who died

now? What horrible, depressing thing. So that's

kind of how I feel about Lava, is just... You

know, it's just the fact that there's this happy

song, but it's him basically being lonely as

hell. And, oh, there's a female volcano. Oh,

wow, that's cool. Oh, shit, but he's slowly sinking

into the ocean. It's like my wife started crying,

and I'm just looking at this, and I'm like, what

is with this emotional trauma? The hell, dude?

What the hell, Pixar? So it's like we get a happy

ending, but I'm like... You almost made us think

that this was going to end with our singing volcano

dying. What is the matter with you? What is the

wrong with you that you did this? Seriously.

Seriously. I mean, yes, I'm like, the happy ending.

I'm not going, woohoo, happy ending. I'm like,

yeah, you damn well better give us a happy ending.

Yeah, you're not going to give us no freaking

depressing ending with the freaking volcano just

crumbling to dust on the ocean floor, unloved.

Hell no! Like, that's my feeling. So yeah, it's

not that it wasn't a cute little short, it's

just that, yeah, having my wife crying next to

me and just kind of watching frustratingly as

this guy is happy singing while the potential

love of his life is up on the surface and he's

almost dead on the ocean floor, I'm like, what

the fuck, man? Really? The hell? What's the matter

with you? And yeah, well, I'm not letting the

movie itself off the hook. Okay. Well, because

what do we get? It's like, hey, I hope you don't

mind me jumping ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead, go

ahead. Because yeah, in the film, at one point,

we have joy and sadness getting separated, and

joy ends up in... with Bing Bong and, like, this,

I don't know, well of lost souls thing. Like,

basically, in this bottomless, in this giant

pit that is supposed to just make things be gone

forever from your memory. And, you know, they

find, like, this little... contraption and they're

trying to use it to like jump up to the ledge

and they're trying to use happy thoughts so they're

singing this song that Riley used to sing when

she was a little kid and it's like oh you know

they can just if they just get up there they

can make it no everything's gonna be okay but

they keep missing and then you have this look

of realization from Bing Bong that uh oh we're

gonna have to jettison some weight so that scene

comes on and I'm like oh no no no no no no no

no no no no no no no no fuck you No, no, no,

no, no, no, no. You're going to have Bing Bong

do a sacrifice play. I'm like, fuck you. Fuck

you, Pixar. What the hell? And all I can think

of is, denizen some waiter will never make it

back to Cybertron. You heard Astro Train. Yeah,

there you go. What's it going to be? Yes. I say

survival of the fittest. All in favor? Aye. Against?

Nay. The ayes have it. Yeah. Yeah, basically,

that's what happened. We had to jettison some

weight things, so it's like, hey, kids, look

at Bing Bong sacrifice himself. He's dead now.

Goodbye. And I'm just like, what the... I'm like,

damn it, man. Damn it, Pixar. It's not the character

that I really dislike or like or whatever, but

anytime any Richard Kine character gets to get

killed, I'm happy. hate all of his role like

mark mark on mad about you is the most annoying

television character of the 90s he's more annoying

to me than urkel is he more annoying than janice

which janice the one that dated chandler bang

on friends yep i wouldn't know because that entire

show pisses me off i hate that show I'm going

to have to find you a YouTube clip of Janice

from Friends and send it to you. I'll put it

to you in this context. Mark on Mad About You

is more annoying than Phoebe on Friends. And

Phoebe's pretty annoying. Actually, I like Phoebe

a little bit. So yeah, Bing Bong sacrifices himself.

You know, just kind of like how, you know, other

sacrifices are made in 7, 8, 9 and all that stuff.

Well, we don't know about 9 yet, but... I know.

I'm an evil Sith Lord. Yeah, well, you probably

already have people on the internet now like,

yeah, we don't know about 9, but you better not

kill 3PO! Damn you, Disney! You better not blow

up R2, you know? Oh my god, you and I are numbed,

eaten by the Rancor. What is the matter with

you? They can have 3PO blown up as long as nothing

happens to R2. I'm good. I like R2. Because R2

and BB -8 need to, you know, have more adventures

together. R2 -D2, BB -8, buddy cop movie. Yep,

pretty much. Absolutely. So who's going to be

like the really, who's going to be like the straight

man who's going to be the one that's like crazy?

Mel Gibson crazy. Um... Hmm. Yeah, it would probably

be R2. As the straight guy or the Gibson? The

crazy. It would probably be R2. Have you seen

all of the... I think I showed these to you last

time we did a podcast together. The Star Wars

blips where it's mainly BB -8, but it's animated

stuff with them. doing various things with BB

-8 and R2. No, you didn't show me, but somebody

else has shown me that. Oh my god, I love those

things. They need to do more of those. I love

that so much. You have no idea. So do you want

that instead of Legends of the Force? Legends

of the what? Legends of the Force or something.

It's like the little Star Wars shorts that have

the different heroes. They focused a lot on the

female heroes. No, just give me the robots. That's

all I need is the robots. You don't need more

Ray, you just need more of the robots. Alright.

I mean, we could probably use certain robot parts

on Ray, but anyway. Yeah, that went dark, didn't

it, folks? Okay, inside out, Pixar. Forget talking

about making Ray a Borg. She would be the Borg

Queen. Oh, jeez. Talk about some first contact.

Yeah, you're handling those emails, buddy. Emails?

What emails? We don't get emails here. Right.

Whatever you say, dude. I don't even remember

the last time I got an email to read on air.

I don't even remember the last time I got a new

iTunes review for this show to read on air. It's

probably like four years ago at this point. Is

anybody even listening to this crap? They probably

are. They probably are and trying to find a message

board to just seethe in rage. Thankfully we don't

do that. What's this we, Kimo Sabe? No, we as

in the GCRN, dummy. Yeah, we don't have a message

board. We have a forum for staff stuff, but if

people want to comment on the post, which nobody

ever comments on any of my content that I put

out, so it's not like it really matters. Do you

want a hug? No. We're talking inside out. We're

talking emotions. Do you need a hug? My inner

Louis Black is just exploding with... With anger

and resentment at this point, folks. I've been

at this almost ten years. Anyway, Inside Out,

it's a great little film. I do really, really

enjoy it. Any negatives it does have, the positives

outweigh it by a million. Well, and I mean, I

gotta be honest, any negatives that I might have

with it are born more just out of, again, the

fact that Pixar... Pixar wants to make you feel.

They will make you feel things. It's unavoidable.

It's unavoidable. It's your destiny. You're going

to feel things with a Pixar movie. Bring tissues.

Hug your loved one. If you didn't see it with

your loved one, I don't know why you wouldn't.

As you're walking out the theater, give them

a call. Tell them how much you love them. Just

say how much you cherish them. Pixar is going

to make you do that. Pretty much. Yeah. Yeah.

And the other great thing about this is the Michael

Giacchino score. Oh, yeah. His Pixar stuff is

so good. I mean, he just does such a great, great

job. And the score for this is so fun. It's just

such a good, good score. What would you give

Inside Out 0 -5 for a rating? I would say a 4.

A 4. And by the way, I do sympathize with the

clown at the party. When we get into his emotions

and it's like, four years of drama college for

this. believe me as someone who's someone who

tried their hand at performing yeah i i i do

i did have those moments of like i studied drama

i you know i've been on stage what the f yeah

yeah sad drama clown yeah well then there's the

goth the uh the goth kid yep all right folks

i know it's been a short -ish long -ish journey

here of emotionally filled, charged stuff. We'll

see. I don't, I don't, I don't think, uh, I don't

think anybody would want to hear us like just,

you know, crying and just being like, Oh my God.

Yeah. No, that's why I love anger so much. Cause

he's the comedy of the movie. Yeah. We're going

to take a quick break, come back with final thoughts,

and teasing up the next episode after this. We

talk. Hello, Julie, what the heck are you doing?

Trying to make our spot sound more exciting by

adding explosions. Yeah, I'm pretty sure you

could have got the point across with sound effects,

not the real thing. Download the show on iTunes

or at simplisticreviews .blogspot .com. I'm sure

your insurance company will cover that. No, they

won't. No, they probably won't. All right, folks,

we are back here on ToonCast Beyond episode 80.

Quick notes before we get out of here. There

are no future plans for Inside Out or any Pixar

sequels for their past films because they want

to go in a new direction and create new and whatever,

and that's great. Well, no, we are getting some

sequels. Not for Inside Out, according to what

I'm hearing here. Okay, no sequel for Inside

Out, thank God. But we are getting Wreck -It

Ralph 2, we're getting Incredibles 2, we're getting

Toy Story 4. Okay, yes, those, but... But yeah,

beyond that. Yeah. In a July 2016 interview,

of course, this was last year, but obviously

it's changed a little bit. President Jim Morris

said that while demand for a sequel is high,

the company has committed its resources to several

original movie concepts from June 7th, 2019 onward.

So pretty much after 2019, no more sequels. You

know, I got my incredible sequel, so I'm happy.

Yeah. When's that come out? Next year? Yep. Yep.

Yep, they already have the teaser out for it.

Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, I remember seeing

that. Did you know that there is a lawsuit thing

with Inside Out? Really? On June 19th, 2017,

Denise Daniels filed a lawsuit against Disney

and Pixar for breach of contract. Daniels had

been working on a creative project, The Moodsters,

with a theme similar to Inside Out and had discussed

prospects of a TV production with Disney and

Pixar. She's two years too late, honestly. Like,

really? Seriously? You may have been talking

with them and they may have taken part of your

idea and ran with it, but it's Disney fighting

their lawyers, fighting them in general. You're

not going to win. Yeah. Worst, like, okay. The

best she could hope for is that they do, they

do like something under the table and, you know,

just toss it. Yeah. Yeah. But it's not, uh, it,

Yeah, you're not – the best you can hope for

is, yeah, is that because they're not going to

be going, oh, crap, this woman wants to sue us.

They're going to be like, okay, yeah, whatever,

okay. Because, I mean, hell, if they could –

okay, if they could weather – if they could weather

– a lawsuit saying that Lion King is a ripoff

of Kimba the White Lion. Yeah. If they can weather

that, they can weather this. Yeah. I mean, it's

not that I don't feel for her. It's not that

I side with the Mouse House. It's that this is

just the reality of it. Absolutely. Well, that,

and I mean, come on. Like, if, what's his name

that tried to sue? the fast and the furious franchise

saying he had the idea first or whatever, whatever

the hell that was. You're like, if he can't win,

this chick isn't going to win against Disney.

I don't know. Uh, you got anything you want to

promote here in 2018 since we are in the new

year at this point? Well, um, okay. Well, uh,

still, you know, keeping it reals and let's be

reals is still going strong and we've got some

cool stuff in the new year. Can't do any details

yet, but also I have something really cool that

should be coming out soon. Again, I can't...

As we record this, I don't have the go -ahead,

but believe me, I think as soon as I have, I'm

going to share it on TFG on Mike's Twitter and

with the Geekast Radio Network and everything,

and hell, maybe even be able to... Talk about

it, like, actually in depth, like in one of the

podcasts or something. Cool. Maybe even get some

people to come in with me. Cool, cool, cool.

But, yeah, there is some cool stuff coming up.

I mean, that's all I can say right now. Awesome.

and Mike. You can also follow at GeekCastRadio

for all the other network updates. What is your

Twitter? Yep, still going by WhiteBalloonKing.

W -H -T -B -L -L -N. King, because why? Twitter

only gives, like, only so much for characters,

so I couldn't do the whole thing. Had to take

out some vowels. You might want to check now,

because I think they increased their character

limit on the actual posts for Twitter. They might

have changed it for the usernames, too. I think

the at... I'll need to check on the at part.

I know that the actual name part that they've

extended it, like I actually played around a

bit with my name, called myself Eduardo and Friar

the first. Actually, that's a Game of Thrones

thing, but yeah. I'll have to check that. See

if I can finally add those missing vowels or

if they're going to be like, nope. Nope, it's

set in stone. Screw you. This isn't Wheel of

Fortune. You can't buy any vowels anymore. Pretty

much. Become a fan on Facebook at facebook .com

What makes us like we are anyway? Gamma rays,

pollution, ozone depletion, television, progress,

lousy luck. You sure make a lot of noise.
