Gobbledygeek 208, “Hiro’s Journey or, To Interstellar and Beyond”

Whether you prefer your heroes fluffy and cuddly or coated with a layer of Depression-era dust--not that we're suggesting those things have to be mutually exclusive, of course--you'll find what you're looking for on the new episode of Gobbledygeek. Paul and AJ set their sights on two of the biggest movies of the fall: Big Hero 6, the Disney/Marvel animated film about a boy, his huggable robot, and five of their pals; and Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, starring Matthew McConaughey as a spacefaring daddy. What do these movies have in common? They're both pro-science, they're both pro-love, and AJ and Paul actually agree on both of them. For the most part. Plus, Paul went to freaking Disney World! Next: for the penultimate Four-Color Flashback episode discussing Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, the boys tackle Vol. IX: The Kindly Ones.
