Ep. 233 - The Year of Animation: The Iron Giant (1999)

This week we continue our journey through the Year of Animation by looking at Brad Bird's first feature film, 1999's The Iron Giant. Set in the year 1957 and in the shadow of Sputnik, a young boy happens across a giant robot from another world that can't remember why it is here. We are joined on this episode with special guest El Goro of the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast, a friendly giant that also will eat the occasional car, to explore this wonderful gem of a film that has a lot more going for it than at first glace.
