18. The Last Unicorn (1982)

Show Notes

This week the FULL CAST AND CREW crew saddles up for THE LAST UNICORN, a 1982 animated feature which, depending on your age, either scared the crap out of you or you have yet to experience.  'The Last Unicorn' is a grandly bizarre spectacle mashing up incredible Japanese hand-drawn animation, voices from Mia Farrow, Alan Arkin, Brother Theodore, and Jeff Bridges, and surprisingly sophisticated takes on belonging and otherness.  We talk about writing for children, animating for everyone, LOTS of music, a voice cast of unparalleled talent, including Jason’s personal favorite, Brother Theodore … who Chris had never heard of (SHOCKER). PLUS:  We are refuseniks with no celebrity friends, the movies of Jean-Pierre Melville, the Fyre Fest docs, and Matt the Engineer makes a restaurant recommendation. From the 1980's. I can't believe I ate the whole thing!
