The following is a sooner orgator production.
We hope at least once in your life you've listened to the Clubhouse podcast live every
Sunday night, seventies from Fort Pacific.
Your one-stop shop for all things sports entertainment.
But we also hope it means that you subscribe to my iTunes, because it is time for another
iTunes exclusive.
Welcome!
My name is Robin.
I am the executive producer of the Clubhouse podcast and I do have voices in my head.
But that's my own issue.
But I'm not alone for this particular episode.
The one hundred and ninth iTunes exclusive.
Joining me for this episode across the desk is my co-host and a man who just sometimes
just feels all warm and fuzzy inside.
He is chat.
Welcome sir.
Good evening on this soon to be very dark and stormy night.
Well, it's looking beautiful out there right now as we're right now.
Right now.
There's a wall hitting our way.
Also joining us for this particular episode is a man who's voices sound different
than mine, but there's still voices in his head.
He is the official fact checker of this show.
You may know him as fun, don't go, but as my many of them don't for him.
I'm gonna call him, don't for the welcome sir.
It's a fun don't go, not Randy Orton Jr.
That's fair point.
It's fair point.
Whatever we do, one of these particular episodes that's to review something and this
is no exception.
We are here today to review the latest film from the powerhouse known as Disney Pixar.
It is called Inside Out.
Directed by Pete Dr. and first time director Ronaldo Del Carmen.
It is all CGI as all Pixar films are.
Before we get in first off, we got to think our good friends Nicholas and everybody at
Susan Jacobs and Susan herself and everybody at Disney for inviting us to this thing.
Always new friends to the show.
There are a lot better of us than they have to.
Well, totally there are great crew there.
We can't think of enough.
And here's the deal.
It is the story of Riley voiced by Caitlyn Diaz.
She and her parents live in Minnesota and find out one day they're moving to San Francisco
for her dad's job.
But we also not only see it from the outside, but we also see it from inside of her brain.
Where you have five emotions that are vying to control what's going on.
You've got joy voiced by Amy Polar.
You've got fear voiced by Bill Hater.
You've got anger voiced by Lewis Black.
You've got disgust voiced by Mindy Kaling and you have sadness voiced by Phyllis Smith.
And the way the brain works is there's a control panel and joy is the leader.
She's the one that's trying to keep everything under control and all of Riley's memories
are in these little crystal.
They look like marbles.
They're marbles.
There are five of them that are her core memories.
These are the major points in her life.
And these all kind of form who she is.
Well after they moved to San Francisco,
due to some unfortunate events, joy and sadness wind up out of the headquarters of the brain
and just kind of into the general areas of the brain.
And they have to find their way back.
But because joy has the core memories and without the core memories,
she kind of rightly just kind of shuts down.
And I think that's all this is deep down the rabbit hole as I want to go.
So let's, it's Pixar.
It's CGI.
Chad talked to me about this film.
What do you want to know?
Well, first of all, what did you think of this particular script?
As it was presented to you on a very large screen in 3D?
It was a brilliant concept and doing a little research on it, seeing that
the director, Pete Doctor, who previously done Monsters Inc and up,
the man can weave emotion into a storyline very, very well.
Indeed, a lot of this was pulled from personal experience.
He actually did move the family from Minnesota to close to where he was.
Right outside of San Francisco.
So it's almost autobiographical.
And he based it on some of the things his daughter was done over the years.
So you, you kind of see, it's almost not just a look inside his daughter's hair,
but a look inside his own.
And there is a, there is a tangible feeling of joy, of sadness, of fear.
I mean, you can, it's something that you can really wrap your hands around.
You really get pulled into this thing.
Done.
On the plot, I loved how it had great comedy throughout.
Oh, absolutely.
Totally.
Pixar, you're going to get that.
And it also had, in certain times, some very emotional scene to there.
Oh, yeah, I got to see it.
Yeah, and I got, yeah, and I put my written review at the clubhouse.podcast.com.
That's our website.
I put on air.
This will make you laugh and this will possibly make you cry, but in a good way.
Um, there are times where I got choked up, but I really love how they put on their,
this is what the mind goes through for child going through such a huge event.
This is big. I mean, she was so happy in Minnesota.
And she's 13 years old and moving to this new place.
I think it's a great way to look into the mind of a child who's going through all these big events.
And most of us can relate to that.
Oh, absolutely.
Was it?
It's just like this guy hit it on a head on the storyline of trying to do something unique,
innovative, and did incredible job on that.
For me, there was a show in the early 90s called Herman's Head on Fox.
Uh, I figured one of us was going to bring the great William Ragsdale.
And this was a lot, it was like a kids version of that show.
And I love that show. I watched every episode.
It was on for four seasons.
Uh, fear for it.
And I was a little worried going into this.
Because I was like, I don't want this to be just kind of a bite and a chunk of a show that nine people have heard of.
But it really wasn't.
It really stands on its own incredibly well.
And my other concern going in was, man, how can you make this story go an hour and a half?
And boy did they?
Oh, the story moved well.
I never thought it was, I never felt like, where's the chase and how can I cut to it?
I really, really thought that the story was told well at the right pace.
It wasn't too fast. It wasn't too slow.
You did get the the moment of the Pixar staple.
I'm not going to ruin it.
Just pay very attention to your very close attention.
You're going to miss it for me.
It just this story was so wonderfully told.
And for those of you that haven't heard my actual opinion on this film,
I'm going to give you a very shocking opinion coming up later in this review.
But before we get there, let's talk about the look of this thing.
I thought it looked absolutely gorgeous, done.
I was blown away.
But what Disney Pixar, you know what you're going to get.
It's like we always say with Paul Giamont.
We know what we're going to get agreed.
But on this one here, I really like how the look in the colors and lighting and the
shades all changed with the motion's going on.
There's one scene where her in the long-lost imaginary friend.
Her who, joy, you talking about?
Yeah, joy. And in Riley's imaginary friend.
Okay, we can go in that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Played by the great Richard kind.
Exactly.
Who you might know from spin city.
Because, you know, he's well, he was also in book life.
But when he's there in one scene where it looks very dark and gloomy,
I still love to look at that.
Oh yeah, it fit what was going on totally.
And it also answered a lot of questions of what happens to the stuff I forget.
Okay, yeah, yeah, now we know.
Like like Homer says when I learn new stuff, it pushes all the stuff out of my brain.
Yeah, I agree with you, Don.
It just every look of every scene fit what was going on, Chad.
The character design of the of the emotions in Hitler.
They look like a muppet.
But they're made up of energy.
Yeah, but they had that fuzzy muppet on onto them, which I thought was insane.
And when you look closer, yeah, it does look like fun.
And then you look a little closer.
And they look like they look like the bubbles stuck to an ice cube inside an orange soda.
They're they're they're in constant motion, even when they're standing still.
They're they're constantly moving.
And I don't know how much you read of the trivia on this.
All of it.
One of the things that I found really, really interesting here was let me find it for you.
The character design itself.
Where they show where is it?
What each shape is supposed to represent how their joy is supposed to be a star.
Discussed is supposed to be broccoli.
Yeah, anger is a fire brick.
Fear is a rawner and sadness is a tear drop.
Yeah, no, I get that totally did not catch that before.
But now they're looking like, wow, that's kind of genius.
And it kind of gave it away when they go into a certain area and they start taking on abstract form.
Yeah, you, that's like, oh, okay.
I see what you did there.
And look at Bingbong, the imaginary Fred.
Yeah, how he explained.
It's like what he's made up.
I'm kidding, okay.
I don't do want to give one of the correction.
You said about a Ronaldo del Carmen.
He did direct a couple minor things, but this is the first major thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
Just for the fact check to be checked.
Yeah, I just, the look of the characters was amazing to me.
Everything fits.
Yeah, like everything.
There was never a point where I was like, that's kind of weird.
Like it all worked.
And then you get to the voice cast about besides the people we've already named.
I mean, Diane Lane and Kyle McLaughlin playing Riley's parents,
Paula Poundstone, where she been, she shows up.
The great Bobby Moynihan.
You know I'm a huge Moynihan fan from Saturday Night Live.
Frank Oz is in this thing for just a brief moment,
but he's in it.
It also was in Monster's Inc.
So Pete Drums love working with him.
Flee makes it appearance as a voice actor.
Carlos Alos Rocky, who you might know from Reno 911.
He's also the voice of Rocco from Rocco's Modern Life.
Okay.
Do you remember that show?
The great Rashida Jones.
Who you know, I'm also a huge fan.
And she's, she must be getting pretty deeply entrenched in Pixar,
because she's involved in the script for Toy Story 4.
Yes, she is.
And veteran voice actor Jess Harnell, who is in pretty much anything you can think of.
Oh, I'm only worried about one.
But I know there's something in particular.
Yeah, it's a voice of wacko, sir.
Who signed my animaniacs hat that says Rob is Babu.
And you cried like a little child.
I wasn't there, actually.
I was working that my mom had actually driven all of it
to Fort Worth where they were doing appearance.
All three of them signed the hat while I was working.
Good Lord.
I'm still having throwing stones to make the most next emotion.
Thank you.
You're welcome internet.
But you can't go wrong with this voice cast.
No, no, Louis Black.
That's all I have to say.
If you're going to have somebody anger, let it be this guy.
Dear diary.
You know, I, I love Louis Black.
I was so waiting for that to happen in this film too, because if it was going to happen in any
film, it was going to be this film.
If it, if that didn't happen out of phone, I don't know.
I know you, I haven't done it.
If there were, you know, there's so many standouts.
Mine goes to Phyllis Smith, who played to that.
From the office, she was so incredible on that.
And when you, when you watch her, if you've never watched the office, and you see,
and once when you do, and you see her, you go, okay, that's perfect.
She was perfect for the role.
She's my, my standout shining standout for the role.
I, I can't give you one.
I mean, if I had everybody was so strong in this.
I got to give, I mean, it seems an obvious choice.
I got to give it up for Amy Poler.
And I'm glad you mentioned that, because in my written review, which is on www.theclubhousepodcast.com,
which is our website.
I, and I said this after we walked out of the screening, the other night,
to see Amy Poler do a role where she's just not, woo,
looking me, I mean, Poler, and I'm falling in love with it.
Which would have been an easy thing to do, because I didn't know she's playing.
She really brought, she kind of brought it down a little bit for this character,
and, and made the character even that much more sympathetic, which I absolutely
dug, that she's expanding her horizons.
And she did so, out, off the charts on this.
Yeah, when you're playing the, the emotion of joy, it's really easy to be like,
Daffy Duck when he has a freak out moment.
And she had moments where she did that, but when she would,
keep everybody grounded.
I mean, it's not like she, I don't know if they elected her leader, or she just
appointed herself. I kind of think she appointed herself.
I think she was the first one.
She was the first one, number one, and two, Riley's normally a happy kid.
So that's going to be the dominant emotion.
Yeah, she palates us everything very well.
Because everybody, you know, when they, when she wasn't there,
I said, we can't do this until she gets back, because she'll know what to do.
She kept everything grounded.
And I mean, there are moments when you see her vulnerability,
that is just, it'll rip your throat out.
This movie will do things to you emotionally, that you didn't think
a film like this was capable of doing.
But very good way.
You know, in a fantastic way.
Yeah, you know what you want to just, you know, what's a tiered jerk.
That, you know, it, and it's a good thing to see, because I wrote that,
Pixar has kind of missed a step here.
Where did you write that?
Why do you do this to me?
Because it's now a bit.
We're going to do this until you get it right.
Where is it done?
No, you have to say.
I did because you wrote it.
Yeah, which is our website.
No, no, no, no, no, anyway.
You're about to make the Lewis Black come out at me, okay?
He's reading the newspaper that says, for, for getting website.
And by the way, watch the, the newspaper that anger reads.
It has the headline changes.
It's very, very funny.
Uh, now I forgot where I was going with this.
You're somebody in your written review.
We were talking about Amy Polar and I was talking about how picks are held.
They kind of, it seemed like they kind of lost their way
in a couple of films.
Like, monsters university was not, it was good, not great.
It wasn't great.
Mm.
Cars too don't even get me started.
I mean, even the filmmakers themselves admit that it was a cash grab.
Because cars merchandise has sold more than any other picks are film.
So they thought, well, let's strike what they are.
And it's still a little bit lukewarm.
And just crank out another film and make it all about Larry the cable guys.
Don't be going about planes.
Well, planes wasn't a Pixar film.
That was, it was not a Pixar.
That was Disney.
Brave, although it hit me and it hit the right notes.
But it didn't seem to connect with audiences the way that films like
Finding Nemo and Monsters Ink.
And earlier, picks our films did.
This feels like a strong return to their roots.
All right, well, that story telling great.
That being said, let's get to the final one now.
If you want to bring up how I first off before that when a credit start to not run out, correct?
Because there's great comedy throughout this thing and showing what they did.
Being a spoiler free, I was rolling.
That was one of the best parts of the film.
I mean, two plus appeared in this film or a likeness of, but still, you know.
But before we get, we got to think everybody at Susan Jacobs, Susan Nicholas and everybody Disney.
They let's see this thing in 3D.
This they did.
Oh, in which added a 3D Dolby atmosphere.
Yeah, we very much.
3D added a texture to this film that I don't think you would get otherwise.
But yeah, we'll let's get this mixed that into the final analysis.
We do the final analysis on this show.
We don't give you letter grades, thumbs up, thumbs down, stars, numbers.
We're not like that.
Our audience, the empire is better than that.
We ask a two-prong question.
Question number one is would you see this film again?
If the answer is no, then we're done here.
If the answer is yes, it becomes, how would you see this film again?
Would you see it in first run?
Would you watch it at twilight?
Matinee early morning.
Would you wait for the dollar theater?
Would you run it from red box?
Would you stream it on Netflix?
Would you wait for it on TV?
Done.
Would you see this film again?
100% yes.
How far you want to go?
I'm giving it to the coveted, which you don't hear very often.
Oh, like a done.
Full price theater.
So I got the big brain on, done.
But I will, I don't know full price with a 3D.
I don't really know that's totally necessary.
But I'm still given to the coveted full price.
Would you see this film again?
Heck yes.
How far you want to go?
The full monti.
I don't know if you see a movie's naked, sir.
This thing is worth every, every dime you could possibly spend on it.
Wonderful, wonderful film.
I would absolutely see this film again.
You have to see it in 3D.
It's at least the first time.
You absolutely have to see it in 3D.
But here's what I'm going to say.
My favorite Pixar movie.
But we're all of the time.
I never thought that here you say that.
This is my favorite Pixar movie ever.
Really, head and shoulders.
As much as I love Pixar and I do love Pixar and I love everything they've done.
This is my favorite Pixar movie ever.
It has something for everybody.
It doesn't cater to just one demographic and it's brilliant.
It has perfect for all the ages because you get a little four-year-old.
They're going to love the little characters.
When you know anger gets going and erupts and stuff.
Perfect date and I film.
Oh, quickly.
Speaking of erupts, we would be remiss not to at least mention lava.
That's right.
There is a short film before called lava.
It's probably what, six, seven minutes long.
And just your average length of a Pixar short film leading into a main figure.
It's about a volcano looking for love and that's all I'm going to say.
Beautiful, wonderful.
It sets the tone for the movie.
You're about to watch very, very well.
All right, see the plugs.
