Robin Hood (1973)
February 17, 2021 06:00 - 30 minutes - 42.2 MBTo celebrate Verbal Diorama's second birthday, here's a Bronze Age joy. Oo-de-lally! This fox is a FOX! It might borrow from other Disney movies, but that doesn't make it any less of a fan favourite. Robin Hood Thanks for your continued support! More fun to come in Year Three! Support this podcast
The Jungle Book (1967)
February 16, 2021 06:00 - 32 minutes - 44 MBTo celebrate Verbal Diorama's second birthday, here's a Silver Age delight The last movie Walt Disney worked on before his death, and based on Rudyard Kipling's stories about the man-cub Mowgli. With a jungle this fun, why would any of us want to go to the man-village? The Jungle Book Thanks for your continued support! More fun to come in Year Three! Support this podcast
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
February 15, 2021 06:00 - 42 minutes - 58.4 MBTo celebrate Verbal Diorama's second birthday, here's a Golden Age treat. It may be 84 years old, but it's still as timeless, elegant and truly awe-inspiring as ever.... Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Here's a link to one of the missing songs by the dwarfs - https://youtu.be/cr-OEaocgOU (Music in Your Soup) Thanks for your continued support!

Ghost in the Shell (1995) (Kōkaku Kidōtai)
February 11, 2021 06:00 - 43 minutes - 59.2 MBThe Matrix, Westworld, Metal Gear Solid, Cyberpunk 2077, AI: Artificial Intelligence.... all have been inspired by the legendary Ghost in the Shell. Ghost in the Shell is a ground-breaking landmark of animation; a cyberpunk dystopian masterpiece, with beautiful cityscapes, engaging characters led by Major Motoko Kusanagi and a story about humanity's reliance on being connected. If Cher from Clueless was describing it, she'd say it was "way existential", and she'd be right. What makes us who...
Shrek
February 04, 2021 06:00 - 52 minutes - 48.3 MBOnce upon a time, there was a brave knight, who went to the tallest tower of the scariest castle on his noble steed, to vanquish the dragon and save the beautiful princess held captive within. The knight and the princess fall in love, but she was destined to marry another. The knight stops the wedding as they admit their love. They live happily ever after. The end. Peel back those onion layers for an alternative take on the fairy tales of old, and a big middle finger from Jeffrey Katzenberg ...
Chicken Run
January 28, 2021 06:00 - 42 minutes - 38.7 MBWhat came first? The chicken or the egg? It's a question as old as time, and one pondered by all the great philosophers, scientists, scholars and farmers. In the field of Aardman's big screen successes, Chicken Run comes first. It's still the highest grossing stop-motion animated movie ever made, and Aardman's literal and figurative fingerprints are all over these English chicks. (I'm sorry for all the chicken-based puns that follow, I really am) What could have easily been a one-chick pon...
Your Name. (Kimi no Na wa)
January 21, 2021 06:00 - 52 minutes - 47.8 MBHow can I write about Your Name? Is it possible to convey the jaw dropping beauty and breath-taking majesty of Your Name with words? I'm not really sure it is, but I take a stab at it in Episode 77 anyway, because Your Name is truly something magical and resplendent to witness. A simple boy meets girl love story, with an added element of celestial forces; Your Name takes a simple story and elevates it to a visual treat as well as an emotional powerhouse. Put simply, if you don't believe in t...
The Secret of NIMH
January 14, 2021 06:00 - 45 minutes - 41.4 MBThe Secret of NIMH is the epitome of a simple tale, beautifully told with the sort of stunning hand-drawn animation that Walt Disney Animation was known for during the Golden Age of Disney. Coincidentally, Don Bluth used to work at Disney, so he knew the tricks of the trade and went ahead with his own animation studio and a dark adaptation of Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, itself based on a real scientific study of rodent societal overpopulation. Mrs Brisby; mouse, widow, badass single m...
Coco
January 07, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 64.6 MBHappy New Year everyone, and welcome to Animation Season! The first movie in the season is the newest movie featured and also the highest grossing. It's also probably the most culturally significant, emotionally resonant and spiritual of the season too. Pixar's Coco. I feel like this movie is more comparable to Kubo and the Two Strings than it is to its fellow Day of the Dead animated stable-mate The Book of Life. But while it's set during Dia de los Muertos, it's more about the power of f...
Gremlins
December 24, 2020 00:01 - 51 minutes - 47.5 MBBefore you listen to this episode, you need to follow a few rules. Keep this episode away from sunlight (that's easy, the days are still short....) Never get this episode wet. But most importantly, no matter how much this episode pleads, no matter how much it begs, NEVER FEED EPISODE 74 AFTER MIDNIGHT! Got it?! Good. This episode is sweet and lovely, but it could multiply and turn into a download monster, and no-one wants that.... Hang on.... I want a download monster....! Gremlins, fr...
Captain America: Civil War
December 17, 2020 06:00 - 1 hour - 61.7 MBSteve Rogers and Tony Stark could never be accused of being best buds. There's always been a resentment there from Tony, especially when his father admired Steve Rogers so much, and it's always been simmering in the background. They've worked together as colleagues, to fight the Chitauri invasion of New York and came together again, with the Avengers, to fight Tony's creation Ultron. But Ultron really was the breaking point for a lot of things in Tony's life. Suffering from PTSD after the ev...
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
December 10, 2020 06:00 - 48 minutes - 44.8 MBCaptain America: The First Avenger ended with Steve Rogers defeating HYDRA and waking up in the modern day. Captain America barely had a chance to understand what was going on before he was thrust into fighting the Chitauri invasion in The Avengers. Post the Battle of New York and Phase 1 of the MCU as a whole, the world is aware of potential threats from other worlds, as well as the mightiest heroes Earth has to fight them, but The Avengers are disbanded for now, and Captain America is work...
Captain America: The First Avenger
December 03, 2020 06:00 - 1 hour - 59.8 MBTalk about Captain America: The First Avenger? I can do this all day. It's one of the MCUs most underrated gems. It's less bombastic than most in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Its World War II setting grounds the movie in an alternate reality. Chris Evans brings depth and humility to Steve Rogers, after the super serum that turns him into the star-spangled man with a plan, but mostly before, when he's just regular Steve. The fact the movie dwells on pre-serum Steve for so long is actually ...
Birds of Prey
November 26, 2020 06:00 - 58 minutes - 53.8 MBBirds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), to give it its full name (until that changed to Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey) is the first and only movie released in 2020 that I'm covering in 2020, but to be honest there's not many 2020 movies out there. It's also the last movie I saw in cinemas before the COVID-19 pandemic. I've seen this movie three times this year, and each time I love it that little bit more. It's the antidote to 2020. A wild, brash, profanity-laden ...
Atomic Blonde
November 19, 2020 06:00 - 54 minutes - 49.6 MBThe Atomic Blonde and John Wick comparisons are not lost on me, and trust me when I say that I love Atomic Blonde to a similar, but very different degree to the John Wick(s). Because while both use colour very dramatically, and thrive on that ultra stylized violence I clearly have a passion for, while John Wick is all about vengeance, Lorraine Broughton is all about espionage, and Charlize Theron remains one of the most brilliant and bold actors working in Hollywood. Often criticised for hav...
Black Panther
November 12, 2020 06:00 - 1 hour - 59.6 MBThis one feels so bitter-sweet to be talking about. This episode was originally scheduled for mid-September, but due to the sudden passing of Chadwick Boseman on 28th August, I postponed it out of respect. After V for Vendetta it feels right to be talking about a hero who inspired so many, and by that I don't just mean T'Challa as the Black Panther, but Chadwick Boseman himself. A man of grace, integrity, poise and power. A man who meant so much to so many. The character of T'Challa, introdu...
V for Vendetta
November 05, 2020 06:00 - 51 minutes - 47.4 MBVoilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive...
Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight
October 31, 2020 00:01 - 45 minutes - 41.9 MBSURPRISE!! I kept this off the schedule just in case I couldn't quite pull it off, but having recently rewatched it, I decided to do a bonus episode on Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight just for Halloween, which deserves WAY more recognition than it gets. From a great well-known cast of faces, such as William Sadler, Jada Pinkett, Billy Zane, Dick Miller and Thomas Haden Church to some genuinely spooky great practical effects and world building, Demon Knight really delivers in a way most l...
Ghostbusters (2016) (ft Simon Brew from Film Stories)
October 29, 2020 06:00 - 1 hour - 83.5 MBListen, for all the online discourse in 2016, Ghostbusters (2016) is in no way as bad as it's been made out to be. Is it perfect? No. Is it the superior Ghostbusters? No. Is it the Anti-Christ of the Ghostbusters universe? No. Do I find it hilariously funny and love these women? YES! Is Chris Hemsworth the most gifted human being in the world other than Keanu Reeves? Probably! Joining me with his own proton pack of appreciation for Ghostbusters, is Simon Brew. Editor of Film Stories magazin...
Scream
October 22, 2020 05:00 - 50 minutes - 46.3 MBBefore we start, a trigger warning. Scream is unfortunately inspired by some gruesome, horrific true crime events which are mentioned briefly in this episode. Although I don't go into details, I do mention violence and sexual assault, so if you'd rather not hear this part of the story, please skip the following times 15:54-17:53. I do mention a warning before it starts too. The section lasts just under two minutes. Full disclosure - I had not seen Scream until watching it for this episode. ...
Coraline
October 08, 2020 05:00 - 51 minutes - 46.9 MBI thought we'd play a game.... It's been 9 months since I last featured a Laika movie, and I've waited a long time on purpose to bring Coraline to the podcast. Because Coraline is scary. It's a genuine horror movie that just happens to be animated. And like most horror, it's the real life elements that Coraline speaks about; family, trust, attempted kidnap and deceptive adults that are the real horror elements at play. We all wish for another version of our lives, but is the grass always g...
Scooby-Doo (2002)
October 01, 2020 05:00 - 49 minutes - 45.2 MBScooby-dooby-doo! Where are you? We've got some work to do now! I'm joined by my furry sidekick Jess (she's not happy we're discussing a movie about a dog!) to talk all about the 2002 live-action adaptation of Scooby-Doo (and a little about its sequel Monsters Unleashed). We all grew up with some iteration of Scooby-Doo, and it's that nostalgia that fuels this movie, along with some great performances from its young core cast, including real-life couple Freddie Prinze Jr and Buffy herself, ...
The Rocketeer
September 24, 2020 05:00 - 57 minutes - 52.3 MBThere are many astonishing things about The Rocketeer.... Its origins in pulp serials its authentic comic book style its unknown leading man its innocence and timelessness its beautiful score by James Horner its stunning art deco poster But the most amazing, brilliant, incredible thing about The Rocketeer, is how much people love it. Despite its lacklustre box office, and the fact that Disney have never seemed to care much about it, people who watch The Rocketeer LOVE The Rocketeer. Maybe...
The Princess Bride
September 17, 2020 05:00 - 53 minutes - 48.9 MBThis is it. The Princess Bride. As You Wish. Death cannot stop my true love for this movie. All it can do is delay it for 59 episodes. Verbal Diorama, inconceivably, goes downhill from here because there is no movie as perfect as one about fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love AND miracles... There's a shortage of perfect movies in the world. It would be a pity not to cover this one. From William Goldman's perfect novel, to the many attempts to g...
Death Becomes Her
September 10, 2020 05:00 - 44 minutes - 41 MBIn a change to the scheduled programming, Death Becomes Her moves up the schedule slightly and marks the first appearances on the podcast for global Hollywood icons Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn. Yes, Bruce Willis is also in this movie, and he's quite good, but the appeal for Death Becomes Her has always, for me, been Streep and Hawn, who wanted a star vehicle for them both and when Thelma and Louise fell through, in swooped Robert Zemeckis, a man who needs little introduction. Death Becomes...
10 Things I Hate About You
September 03, 2020 18:21 - 50 minutes - 46.2 MBI hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car, I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind; I hate you so much it makes me sick, it even makes me rhyme. I hate the way you're always right, I hate it when you lie, I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call, But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you, not even cl...
Jurassic Park
August 31, 2020 05:00 - 55 minutes - 50.8 MBIt's got awe-inspiring practical puppets, flawless CGI, fantastic performances, awesome cinematography and Unix systems (I know this!). Welcome to Jurassic Park! 27 years later, it's still the T-Rex of action, adventure, horror and sci-fi, as billionaire John Hammond and his team of scientists spend so much time thinking they could, they don't stop to think if they should. Directed by Steven Spielberg, it remains one of his most enduring and appealing classics, and shades of his earlier cla...
X-Men
August 27, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour - 58.8 MBMutation: it is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward. X-Men, based on the comic books created in 1963 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, like many projects in Hollywood, moved around from studio to studio until it landed at Fox and in the lap of producer Lauren Schuler Donner. It ...
Moana (aka Vaiana/Oceania)
August 20, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour - 59.9 MBMake way, make way for Disney's first computer generated animated foray into the Polynesian islands, mythology and culture (although not the first animated foray - that goes to Lilo and Stitch!) to the island of Motonui, and its future chief Moana; a young woman who feels a call to the ocean (not surprising as her name literally means 'ocean') and is tasked with finding the demigod Maui, restoring the stolen heart of Te Fiti, and in doing so re-establish the natural ecological harmony, redisc...
Galaxy Quest (ft Andy from Geek Salad)
August 06, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour - 106 MBComputer, what topic is episode 54 on? "Galaxy Quest" Episode 54 is on Galaxy Quest! Pedal to the metal, and get ready for some vertical Thermian handclaps for the crew of the NSEA Protector with returning special guest Crewman #6..... aka Andy from Geek Salad! You may remember him from Episode 23 on Mystery Men. He's the plucky comic relief in this episode, and unlike Guy Fleegman's Crewman #6 on the show, he lives to the end of episode 54! Galaxy Quest's historical documents have been off...
Serenity (2005)
July 30, 2020 05:00 - 59 minutes - 54.9 MBSerenity, the continuation and culmination of Joss Whedon's one-season space western TV show Firefly, had the full backing of Universal after acquiring the rights of Firefly from Fox, who really didn't have a clue what Firefly was, or even the common decency to air all the episodes in order.... this is not the first time Fox have been world-class a-holes on something I've featured on this podcast. Although arguably Serenity exists because of Universal's desire for the project, Joss Whedon's ...
The Nice Guys
July 23, 2020 05:00 - 36 minutes - 33.1 MBThe Nice Guys, upon its release in May 2016, found itself facing off against a comedy sequel, an animated movie of a million-selling mobile game and two separate superhero franchise sequels. It's really no wonder it suffered at the U.S. box office. An original idea, from the always brilliant mind of Shane Black, needed room to breathe and find its feet. Sadly, it never got to do that. Had it been released in June, like it was supposed to, it might have made the $217 million that the other com...
Down With Love
July 16, 2020 05:00 - 44 minutes - 40.8 MBPaying tribute to the classic no-sex sex comedies from the late '50s and early '60s, Down With Love is a wonderful, bright, kitschy romcom classic that seems to be well regarded, if not completely well remembered. Renee Zellweger (fresh from Chicago) and Ewan McGregor (fresh from Moulin Rouge) tackle roles similar to those made famous by girl-next-door-turned-sex-symbol Doris Day and serious-actor-turned-romantic-lead Rock Hudson, in a genuinely wonderful pastiche to their movies Pillow Talk...
Toy Story
July 09, 2020 05:00 - 54 minutes - 49.7 MBHere we are.... 50 episodes later! It's been a genuine delight to produce fifty episodes of this podcast and I wanted to do something special for #50. There's no animated movie so ingrained in modern culture, so beloved by everyone and such a pioneer in modern animation than Pixar's Toy Story. But I didn't just want to tell the story of Toy Story, because the story of Pixar is integral to the story of Toy Story. Pixar knew they wanted to make the first feature-length fully computer animated...
The Muppets
July 02, 2020 05:00 - 37 minutes - 33.9 MBIt’s time to play the music, it’s time to light the lights, it’s time to meet The Muppets on Verbal Diorama tonight... today... In this special Patron-chosen episode, I go behind the curtain on 2011's The Muppets. The Muppets have been in everyone's lives, whether through The Muppet Show, the eight big screen offerings, or just through general media. Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Animal et al. are some of the most famous faces and names in Hollywood. This episode is a little diffe...
The Thing (1982)
June 25, 2020 05:00 - 53 minutes - 49.2 MBWhen it came to thinking of a horror movie I'd love to feature, The Thing (1982) was top of my list. It's not a movie most would associate with someone who admits to not liking horror, but the combination of science fiction and horror remains one of my favourite genre mixes (see also Alien!) It's also a movie that continues to delight and terrify me. The practical effects, created by Rob Bottin (only 21 years of age at the time) still hold up as visually inventive, repulsive and unforgettabl...
Princess Mononoke
June 18, 2020 05:00 - 51 minutes - 47.5 MBPrincess Mononoke, or Mononoke Hime to give it its Japanese name, could have been covered in February for the anniversary along with Howl's Moving Castle, My Neighbour Totoro or Spirited Away, but honestly I'm glad I can devote a whole regular-sized episode to it, because it's so jam-packed full of greatness. As much as I love all the aforementioned movies from the legendary writer/director Hayao Miyazaki, Princess Mononoke really is something more epic. It's more adult, more complex, more v...
Rogue One
June 11, 2020 05:00 - 53 minutes - 49.2 MBRogue One, or Rogue One: A Star Wars Story to give it its full name, was the first anthology movie announced post the Disney takeover of Lucasfilm in 2012; the year after Star Wars Episode VII The Force Awakens had enticed and delighted audiences across the world. The rogue one, you might say... Rogue One, born of the simple question "how did the Death Star plans end up with Princess Leia?" is probably most famous for its CGI recreations of Grand Moff Tarkin and Princess Leia, and its enduri...
Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
May 28, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour - 58.4 MBLittle Shop of Horrors, based on the off-Broadway musical, in turn based off the 1960 Roger Corman dark comedy The Little Shop of Horrors... is probably my favourite ever screen musical. It contains within several elements that never fail to delight me: -Rick Moranis - a true gem of a man, on-and-off screen, who was a regular for all us 80s and 90s kids growing up -It's a musical - with music and lyrics by the award-winning team of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman -Practical effects - the pupp...
A Knight's Tale
May 21, 2020 05:00 - 48 minutes - 44 MBSTOMP-STOMP-CLAP STOMP-STOMP-CLAP STOMP-STOMP-CLAP STOMP-STOMP-CLAP It's the unmistakable beat of Queen's 1977 anthem "We Will Rock You", filling an arena, as a massive crowd of people do a human wave. The competitors enter the stadium and the crowd goes wild at seeing their favourite sportsperson. The competitors are announced loudly, as a hush falls over the crowd, and the sport begins.... It could be the scene at any modern sporting event, except it's actually in medieval Europe, the spo...
A League of Their Own
May 14, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour - 55.7 MBIn 1943, Philip K. Wrigley (of chewing gum fame!) founded the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) in order to maintain sport and public morale during World War II, at a time when many eligible young men, including professional sportsmen, were drafted to fight overseas. Whilst A League of Their Own is a mostly fictional account of the players and founders behind the AAGPBL, it still tells a story of the real-life resilience, spirit and tenacity of the young women involved...
The John Wick Trilogy (ft Laurel & Derek from The Midnight Myth)
May 07, 2020 05:00 - 2 hours - 113 MBFor clarification, this episode discusses and spoils: John Wick John Wick: Chapter 2 John Wick: Chapter 3 Parabellum The Boogeyman. Baba Yaga. Mr Wick. Jonathan. Jardani Jovonovich.... John Wick is known by many names, but everyone knows of him and everyone should fear him. Especially if you kill the one thing he loves most in the world, and the only link to his recently deceased wife; the one woman who helped him leave this life behind. John Wick does what John Wick does best: rains vengea...
Tremors
April 30, 2020 05:00 - 45 minutes - 41.6 MBThe perfect homage and satire of classic 50s monster B-movies, Tremors initially failed to set the box office alight. Like most cult classics it found a resurgence on VHS and ended up spawning multiple sequels, a prequel, a 2003 one-season TV show and a failed 2018 TV pilot starring Kevin Bacon, back as Val McKee. Praised for its special effects work, the chemistry between Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward and a female lead character who's actually there to do something more than just look pretty an...
Bridesmaids
April 23, 2020 05:00 - 50 minutes - 46.2 MBI find Paul Feig's directorial career fascinating; Spy, The Heat, A Simple Favour and Ghostbusters, all female-fronted and each of them a lot of fun and very enjoyable in their own right. 2011's Bridesmaids really was the catalyst, not only for Paul Feig's career, but the Hollywood careers of Saturday Night Live alumna Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph, for Rose Byrne to prove her comedic timing and for a standout Oscar-nominated performance by Melissa McCarthy. This is more than just "the femal...
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
April 16, 2020 20:00 - 1 hour - 32.8 MBFour years after Hellboy, Hellboy II: The Golden Army came out. Bigger, bolder and more del Toro than its predecessor, it concentrated on its existing characters and introduced a more complex and interesting antagonist in the dedicated, skilled warrior Prince Nuada - fighting for the survival of his dying race as humanity continues its greed and desire to consume everything around it. Influences of Tolkien and del Toro's other famous works are apparent throughout, as is the lack of the occul...
Hellboy (2004)
April 09, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 38.7 MBHellboy, as a concept, shouldn't work as well as it did in 2004. (Well, we saw what rebooting it in 2019 did....) Mike Mignola's comic blends folklore, mythology, the paranormal and Lovecraftian horror, and needed a director who could take all that and make it visually appealing, and coherent to the layman. It also needed a lead actor who could portray the strength, vulnerability and humour needed for a main character who would put off the most conservative of viewer just by being a big red ...
Clueless
March 30, 2020 05:00 - 48 minutes - 22.2 MBVerbal Diorama returns from partying with the Haitians..... I mean from the hiatus.... for one of the greatest comedies ever made - Clueless. On the surface, just like any of the umpteen other 90s teen movies, but dig a little deeper and Clueless is a sharp, satirical and heartfelt look at teenagers; the way they speak, dress and think, in a thinly veiled adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel Emma. Witty, sweet and way existential, Amy Heckerling directed, wrote and and enlisted a perfec...
Treasure Planet
March 01, 2020 06:00 - 49 minutes - 22.5 MBWelcome to the first episode of year two and the final episode of my ten-episode animation season. Gosh, Treasure Planet is stunning. Every detail of its aesthetic is glorious to behold, and the fact that its directors Ron Clements and John Musker were so determined to get it made is truly an outstanding achievement. From its illustrious pedigree, to the 70/30 rule, to the use of Deep Canvas, this is a technical marvel of an animated movie that just seems to have been largely forgotten, but...
Spirited Away
February 16, 2020 20:50 - 38 minutes - 17.7 MBVerbal Diorama has been going for one year! To celebrate, I asked Twitter to choose between Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke or Laputa: Castle in the Sky. Twitter chose Spirited Away.
