135 - The Boss Baby: Family Business (feat. Patrick Willems)

Patrick Willems (Night of the Coconut) returns to finish some unfinished business as he and the lads fight off the deep conservatism and unending baby ninja armies of Dreamworks’ 2021 babypalooza: The Boss Baby: Family Business. Topics include the nebulous target audience, the uncanny animation, and the consequences of pivoting from the increasingly bonkers Boss Baby lore to the terrors of…school choice???

I have tried to listen to this one multiple times because if you step away or lose track of the boss babies bosses non-baby (boss) nomenclature the rest of the show becomes incomprehensible.

Everything about Brian is contagious. He’s riddled with infectious diseases.

the christ child delivering gifts is a thing in catholic germany as well, “kris kringle” comes from “christkindl”

AJ. I need you to know. That real horse corner was one of the most uncomfortable things you've ever made me sit through. And yes, that includes every single one of our childhood experiences together. Yes, even that one.

Nathan Woods

So here's the thing: as vile as it was, the second (real) horse corner was extremely insightful and reminded me that maybe dreamworks didn't just make Ice Age and Prince of Egypt. Maybe AJ could get it out of his system if he just had the chance. 🎶oooooh yeah🎶

Jordan Y Clementi

I'm picturing the Boss Baby riots like the Shoko Asuhara trial in Japan, everyone wearing giant plaster heads.

Calvin H Frey

I almost didn't post this because I thought it was too rude and then the second whorse corner played and I realized that wasn't a limitation.

J. D. Harper

Are we sure it isn't AJ's whore-se (whorse?) corner?

J. D. Harper

So this movie is just about James O'Keefe and Project Veritas, right?

Alex

Why is Brian's laugh so contagious?

TheTaciturn

A good goon is hard to find

love to grow up in ‘s-hertogenbossbaby

it's hard to feel too bad for someone with complete creative control and a castle in ireland, but movies like this using her work as a cheap gag do such a disservice to Enya - a studio innovator and world-class vocalist, the original and best pastel goth, a true original who's miraculously managed to maintain her artistry under immense commercial pressure. it makes me so mad i could just sail away!!

Elah

TWOAPW has made its way into my brain so well that when the news broke of horses running rampant through central London today it automatically payed the AJ’s Horse Corner theme.

Amy Godliman

Omg pokerface is amazing I originally started watching it because John Darnielle was in it but I ended up binging it

Izzy Gil

The program I was working in froze in terror right as AJ's Horse Corner started.

Virginia Paine

Good point.

BTW, thank you Brian, for standing up for the oft forgotten, small town theater, and pushing back against the agenda of big city cinema. (Theaters in my area LOVE replaying old kids movies)

Dergon

Betsy DeBoss and her family business is ruining education in this country

Noblesse Oblahaj

"Have to answer to the Foot?" Is Patrick Willems the Shredder?

Dergon

Holy shit, thank you

BarFly

Fun fact, you can watch all of Columbo *for free* without ads on the Internet Archive. I'm sure Peacock is still really great though.

Beau Baker

The guys on Blank Check have a recurring joke about Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron that you can put the title in any order and it makes an equal amount of sense

BarFly

Why do you do this to yourselves, and by proxy, us

Noblesse Oblahaj

I thought you just collected them from their caves.

Amy Godliman

Top notch horse corner.

Marty Shambles

Clearly you got your goons from hit app, HENCH of KJB fame.
