The gang is back together for a full episode. This episode features a long discussion about the 1997 animated classic Anastasia. And where did the Nerdy Couch Discussion go, you may ask? Don’t worry, this episode is a bit unconventional and the NCD is nestled in the middle of the main discussion.

Highlights:

  • News: Maggie Simpsons 3D short, Pixar Disney California Cruise, A Cat in Paris released
  • Main Discussion: Don Bluth and Gary Goldman’s Anastasia
  • Gary Goldman: the forgotten part of the Bluth duo
  • Is Anastasia the pinnacle of Don and Gary’s career?
  • “My Fair Lady” plot?
  • Making-of featurettes hosted by…Aaliyah?
  • Mini Nerdy Couch Discussion:  R&B songs over the credits in the 90s
  • Gangster Anastasia & greasy Dimitri
  • Why do so many people think Anastasia is a Disney movie?
  • Dimitri: face doesn’t match the actor, best looking animated mantagonist?, “I don’t know what to tell you”
  • Anastasia: a witty romcom leading lady; grand duchess, not princess; first to elope,
  • Where would Anastasia rank among the Disney princesses?
  • Would there be an uprising by Disney or Bluth fans is Disney bought the rights to Anastasia?
  • Rasputin: should we fear or pity him as the villain?, eternal leprosy
  • Mason’s 3 reasons why Rasputin is a pathetic villain
  • Bartok and Rasputin’s unhealthy relationship
  • Conspiracy time and villain metaphysics: no time in limbo aka the TIME VORTEX!
  • Why do kings always keep the creepy advisors around?
  • Pooka: the REAL villain of the movie, throwaway character
  • Sophie: voice actress thought her character’s design was too big
  • Vladimir: member of the royal court, quotes
  • Need to know Russian history to understand the film?
  • Songs: Disney playlist worthy, “people sing when they are too emotional to talk anymore”, is “Once Upon a December” or “Journey to the Past” the more memorable song
  • Lots o’ CGI: problems with objects, beautiful layouts, innovative, the pegasus
  • Live action reference or full on rotoscoping?
  • Clarification: we don’t think rotoscoping is the greatest thing ever
  • Best scenes: travel montage, glowing mystical sparkles, very Haunted Mansion-esque ghostly people
  • Unanswered questions: Russia and Anastasia’s memory, Dimitri and the music box, Mason’s enchanted palace theory
  • Morgan and Chelsea debate Anastasia’s changing hair length
  • Listener trivia question: How do you feel about Rasputin as a villain?
  • Let’s rate it!
  • “Art of Brave” contest new deadline: June 30. Enter now!
  • Bloopers: cool ringtone, Chelsea can’t speak today, Princess Tanya
