Travel to Hawaii with us this week and let’s meet a stubborn master of destruction and her pet alien in Lilo & Stitch. There are a lot of things to like in this - the animation, messages, jokes, Elvis - if you are into that. We have some questions and some frustrations - you might hear an evolution in real time in this episode.

Back to Pixar this week as they have a blast with fur texture and character design in Monsters Inc. We learn the power of cuteness and laughter and the dangers of Capitalism - AGAIN. Sully and Mike are inseparable until a little girl with giant eyes appears and tears Sully away. Fortunately Mike is one of Billy Crystal’s more mature characters and they find their way through. This movie is always a delight.

We’re going under the sea - and then back up again to find Atlantis. A city was lost, and now a linguist and his capitalist adventurer buddies are off to find it. And yes, that does mean that the villain in this film is in fact capitalism. Linguist Milo is more powerful than any other language expert as he can speak a language that no one knows just by looking at it, and it’s not even the phonetic alphabet (might there be some pedantic linguistics speak in this episode, you should listen to find out). Also, will the villain die by falling to his death? It’s a secret.
