This movie’s got all of the different tricks and bells and whistles of every previous movie that we’ve seen done well. And this one does it even better. And it’s got, like, actual hypnosis. It’s got actual NLP techniques baked into it. It’s got Kubrick references. It’s got electroshock therapy. It’s got a brand new version of the Disneyland proxy where they kill the mom and 399 of your siblings within the first couple minutes of the film. And then it goes into the typical Disney proxy that builds on top of that. So we basically have massive child sacrifice in Holocaust to kick this movie off.

It’s got Ferngully a la humans bad. It’s got Pinocchio getting enticed by the vices of the world and getting swallowed by a whale. Like, it truly has. All of the huge, huge hits from Disney, all kind of consolidated and I would say, masterfully crafted altogether so you don’t even necessarily notice them as they happen. Is it Disney mind control? Is this Mkochetee luxurious? I go Disney to nobody. I go this man pedial plan Pinocchio. I go this man as above. So blue. Pinocchio seeks for no pleasure island where traffickers need to spoil mine. Captain of the lost boy Neverland saving kicked from Peter Pans to silence me no business survived the barracuda and that nobody needs no one.

No, I never took another breath for prince, the angel of death. And come this day, we go from real to me. I go this there. Oh, hear me groove. And no more view cook is there. Ask about. Hello. Welcome to the Occult Disney podcast. It’s where we just keep swimming like pros, where the system wants us to. And then we find out what the system wants to do. Now, that’s not the way to do it, is it? No, no, no. We analyze. We analyze the C’s. The seven seas. At least one c. Hey, where do you think in finding Nemo? Today’s movie? Where is the Coral reef? Great Barrier Reef.

I can’t be right. It seems farther away. Where did Shawshank redemption take place? Maine. All Stephen King takes place in Maine. I think it’s a combination between Sydney and somewhere in Maine. Okay, that’s cool. Cape Cod and Sydney. If you combine the both of those, you kind of have little Nemo. Okay. I lived in Maine for a year. It’s a cool place. I like Maine. Have not been to Australia, though. But, yeah, finding Nemo, I think, is still the most successful animated film, if I’m correct, from Disney or general at the time, it certainly was. It became the highest grossing animated film at the time of its release, second highest of 2003.

I don’t. Top selling dvd of all time. So this is a, you know, I guess what they call a banger as far as bringing in the bucks, you know, theme park attractions, all that sort of stuff. What’s your history with finding Nemo? It came out while I was living with a friend that had kids. So I got swept up in it because the kids all absolutely loved finding Nemo. And this was also at a checkered part of my past where I may or may not have been reversing and being a merchant of pirated dvd’s, that this was kind of like the hot.

Like, this was one of the big ones. This one brought in the money. Is this one of the hot grossing prior to dvd’s as well? That, and Spider man was a really huge one. There was nothing better than spotting a family coming out of a Chuck E. Cheese or coming out of a pizza hut and just being like, hey, does anyone want to watch Spider man tonight? And you would just see the faces on the parents like, you son of a. But yeah, little Nemo. Spider man. But honestly, I even rewatching it now. I don’t know if I gave it the credit it deserved originally, because I was just.

It was just transactional for me. So this time I actually got to watch it and enjoy it. And I think it’s probably my favorite modern Disney movie now, I might give it to stitch myself, but anemo is up there. I’m thinking about, is it the best? I had a good first viewing experience. I just told you I lived a year in Maine. After that, I moved up the coast a little more into Canada and worked for several months on a little island called Grand Manan island. So my work day was taking kids around the island, doing environmental science.

So my workday is outside all the time. Fresh air, ocean breezes, looking for whales on ships. So my days off, I take a ferry to the mainland and go. Go to the mall and sit in a dark theater, you know, and I saw many movies that summer. And then this little canadian theater, Nemo, Freddie versus Jason. I have a very specific memory of doing that one that summer, one or two others, but, yeah, it was like, I need to get away from it all. So I’m going to go sit in a dark room. That’s. See, that’s where you say you don’t like theaters, but that’s where theater is nice.

When you’ve been spending too much time in the open air, right. I get, I don’t know, again, without going on too much of a tangent, like anyone can make a theater at this point if you put enough effort into it, right? You get the blackout curtains, you get a decent little surround sound going, and you basically have an experience, in my opinion, that rivals at least out of like what you could get in the nineties. Like now they’ve got all sorts of imacs and they’ve got like the huge like room sized subwoofers and they’ve got water in your face.

But still, man, I mean, I remember watching, aside from the screen door effect, watching a movie with VR headset on felt just as much as being in a theater that I ever remember minus, like stepping in things. Yeah, I mean, I’ve just had it good the past 15 years. Cause in Japan I usually go to the late show, which people like to see movies in the afternoon, the late show. So I’ve almost had close to or private screenings. You know, you can drink in japanese theaters, nobody cares too. So you got that going for you. It’s fun.

Did you have movie pass though? Did Japan have movie pass? I don’t have a movie pass. My movie pass actually was ten years ago where he knew the manager of the multiplex and he just leaves comp tickets all the time. Okay, well that was awesome. That movie best was a huge thing for a while. There’s even like a documentary on it you can watch. And how they like spectacularly never really made much money, aside from just shuffling stuff around and it was about like a stock game. But I remember all my friends that were hardcore cinema files that all swore by movie pass and they were going seeing three or four movies every single week for over a year.

So I don’t know, I could do that, but only if it’s from the couch. Yeah. For me it was being at university where they showed different movie every night. And I worked for that theater and then, well, volunteered for it, I should say. And then, you know that time where we knew the manager and he compass tickets, so I had these periods of free movies. Yes, your bias is making plenty of sense now. That’s right. Uh, nemo, though, is a movie I’ve seen. Like, I don’t, it’s one where I didn’t feel I did watch it, I took notes, all that blah, blah.

But it was almost like I probably don’t need to. And I’m trying to figure out why I know this movie so well. It’s probably, I’ve seen it a few times. Maybe it’s playing on the background at work. I don’t know. It just, uh. This is one where I didn’t even feel compelled, like, to watch it, even though I did so because I’ll do it. I mean, I. If I don’t do that due diligence, I’m being, like, exceptionally lazy. So, yeah, I’m glad I rewatched it. And, in fact, it’s probably one of the longer movies so far.

A minute or an hour and 41 minutes, I believe. Yes. But I also didn’t watch it even at 1.1 x, man. I watched it at regular, old normal speed, and I enjoyed the whole thing. And it didn’t feel like it was too long. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, yeah, no, no. Okay. I guess movies in general just keeping longer. See, I would go with your theater argument, the fact that everything’s like 3 hours plus now. You know, like, I remember in 2001 a Space Odyssey used to be like, a really long movie. Now it’s like, not. It got shorter because all the other movies got longer.

You know, another thing, too, unless I completely missed it, but no songs in this movie. Yeah. This is the first Pixar that did not have Randy Newman doing the score. The score was done by Thomas Newman, who is apparently his cousin, but maybe doesn’t write pop songs like Randy, you know, or whatever it is Randy writes. I just. I appreciated the no musical approach. I really, really did. That’s kind of Pixar’s thing, though. I mean, Toy Story doesn’t have them singing any songs. It’s. It’s got you. You’ve got a friend of me, like, on the soundtrack for over a montage, you know, which they didn’t even feel the need for that here, which is fine.

So I think they had so many. Well, I guess Toy Story has a lot of voices, too, but, like, this one, too, they had, like, a star studded cast of voices, I guess. So. I was just enjoying hearing all the different people involved. Well, let’s check out who’s in. I was thinking it’s relatively balanced with some proper voice actors and, you know, like you said, a bit of star power. We got Albert Brooks of broadcast news. I always liked the film defending your life for some reason, even though it’s not great, we do have to deal with Ellen here.

Ellen DeGeneres here a lot. She of the Ellen’s energy, adventure and screaming at her underlings. Willem Dafoe, of course I had trouble. I guess he was doing a good voice, because every time Gil started talking, I was like, that’s not Willem Dafoe. And it is maybe for one or two minutes, I thought he was Jeremy irons, and he’s definitely not that, so I don’t know. Your brain breaks late at night, Stephen Root. Yeah, that’s always fun. Office space, Milton. And way more than. That’s about it, actually. Yeah. Yeah. That’s about it for the major. Oh, Eric Bonna is in here.

He did the Hawk a few years later, but he’s not like a. He’s like one of the side sharks. He’s not even Bruce. Right? I mean, I just got to throw out there that. Have you ever seen Chopper or Chopper? Anyone. Anyone listening to. If you’ve. If you’ve never seen the movie with Eric Bona called Choppa, I think just called Chopper, and it’s about this australian gangster called Chopper Reed. And his name’s Chopper because he chopped his ears off in prison so that he could get out on, like, a medical lea. It’s a whole. It’s a whole thing.

But Eric Bonna plays chopper in this movie, and it’s a. It is hands down, the best Eric Bonna ever. And I say that knowing that he’s been in Batman and he did the machinist, and he’s done, like, all sorts of crazy roles where he gets big and he gets skinny. And I still think that Chopper is his best movie ever. I think you’re conflating him a bit with Christian Bale there. But he did the ham. He’s in the superhero department. Just wrong. Superhero. You’re right, but I’m not. I’m not wrong about him being Chopper Reed. Okay, cool.

Yeah, I guess we’re gonna compare it to his marvel appear. Yeah. It’s way, way better than the Hulk. Like, by a large margin novel, I think. I’ve never actually seen the Hulk, to be honest. I do have it on Blu ray somewhere. But he was in the past with Jennifer Connelly, I believe. That’s the one I’m talking. That’s the Bono one. Yeah, because. But, yeah, I think that one’s been a bit reassessed recently, maybe because there’s so many boilerplate superhero films now. And now you look at the Ang Lee Hawk, it’s like, oh, this one’s kind of different, you know? And now that makes it more appealing than when it came out.

That was also a huge movie in, like, the pirating scene. That’s the one that got a lot of people. They went after people with DMCA’s. This was in, like, the early two thousands. I think this is where everyone’s grandmas and parents started getting these weird notices from the NPAA. That’s like, we’re suing you. And it was, a lot of it was over the Hulk high tide for the mockbusters as well. So. Yeah. You sell the mockbusters or just the real. The real stuff? I know. What are the mock busters? That’s, uh, like, oh, for the hawk.

I don’t know. But in general, we have the, you know, mockbusters. Right. It’s like trans morphers. Yeah, yeah. Snakes on a train. Right, right. Which was a completely different movie, so you got to give them credit for that. There. There are a decent handful of Disney mockbusters that are worth a watch, I think. Oh, yeah. And if it’s like, you know, like, ip, that’s not proprietary, you know, you can make as many sin bad movies as you want. Finding Nemo actually went against some kind of, like, well, I’m not gonna go in bootleg because it’s not like Disney made Sin bad, but there was an animated sin bad also this summer, which, you know, fell on its face because Nemo is such a mammoth film.

You know, I guess when there’s, you know, Titanic or an Avengers and in the multiplex, that tends to curb stomp the. The other film somewhat sometimes and I guess to jump a little bit into, like, the production notes that you usually have got. But I. I was seeing an interview with the kid that played the voice of Nemo. I can’t remember his name off top my head right now, but he also played the sun in this Showtime series called Weeds that had a lady that was like. And this was before weed was legal anywhere in the states.

But it was about this mom that’s selling weed in California, and she turns it into, like, this booming business. And there’s going on for, I think, like, four or five, maybe even six seasons. But the kid, her kid in it, I didn’t realize it until I’m, like, afterwards, and I look up to see whatever voice is and like, damn, that kid looks so familiar, but he’s basically a murderer. He’s a. He’s like a weird, schizo kid that kills people in the weeds show. And that was the first gig that he got after doing Nemo. And I guess that they didn’t realize Nemo, in classic Disney fashion was going to be as big of a hit as it was.

I mean, I assume that they were hoping for it to be big because they had a star studded cast on it. And it doesn’t look like they pulled too many punches with any of, like, the production itself. But there was. The interview was saying that no one really realized how big of the word. There was a phrase, cultural phenomenon, which I guess does make sense for the highest grossing animation, the highest dvd sales. Yeah. I mean, Pixar films were on point. That was, like, the big deal. This was the first summer one. All the other ones had been released in winter.

I guess now you can kind of have a b list Pixar film. I don’t know. I haven’t seen a Pixar film for, like, the past five or six years. And now, why would I bother? We’re going to get to them eventually, right? So a lot of films I don’t watch because I’m like, ah, the podcast I do is going to get to it eventually. Exactly. We’ll get there eventually. It might be a few years, but we’ll get there. Also, my daughter’s now 15, so we don’t put on so many animated movies in the house. So it’s just, you know, this is when I’ll get to it, not.

Not elsewhere. Yeah. Production stuff here, there is a lot, but it’s all really just like, kind of not. It’s really matter of fact. Most of it’s Andrew Stanton. He’s like, I took my family to Six Flags Marine World in 1992. They had lots of fish, and I thought you could animate them. Okay. I saw a national Geographic with a sea anemone and a cloudfish, and I thought that looked cool, so I put that in the movie. Okay. I was with my son at the park, and I realized I was being a helicopter parent, and that went into the movie, you know? Okay, that’s basically the production history here.

Andrew Stanton taking random, boring things from his life and putting them into the movie. Or so he says. Or so he says. Yes. I mean, that’s what the wiki page says. Now the other thing. Oh, just as a side note, apparently, William H. Macy was originally going to be Marlin, and they recorded him as Marlon, but he sounded too serious, so they switched. Albert Brooks, you were talking about the cultural phenomenon. And last night, I just. I got bored reading the marketing section just started to turn into gibberish of brand names. You know, like, what am I reading? And I was like, why am I reading this? And then I was, oh, I’m reading the finding Nemo trivia.

That’s what I’m doing. But you’re saying here, you know, companies like Frito, lay Keebler Pepsi, Ralph Stryers gel Cert airheads, Orville Redenbachers stickers on over 15 million bags of paper chips alerted consumers. Like, why am I reading this? You know? Well, I want to make a fairly strong argument that this movie’s got all of the different tricks and bells and whistles of every previous movie that we’ve seen done well. And this one does it even better. And it’s got, like, actual hypnosis. It’s got actual NLP techniques baked into it. It’s got Kubrick references. It’s got electroshock therapy.

It’s got a brand new version of the Disney proxy where they kill the mom and 399 of your siblings within the first couple minutes of the film. And then it goes into the typical Disney proxy that builds on top of that. So we basically have massive child sacrifice and Holocaust to kick this movie off. It’s got Fern Gully a la humans bad. It’s got Pinocchio getting enticed by the, you know, the vices of the world and getting swallowed by a whale. Like, it truly has all of the huge, huge hits from Disney, all kind of consolidated and, I would say, masterfully crafted altogether, so you don’t even necessarily notice them as they happen.

Yeah. My notes here, basically, this is kind of an inverse Disney proxy, times 400. And I was noting that, is this the first brutal Pixar prologue up is the notorious one. Although that’s. That’s one death. That’s not. That’s what I’m saying. Man up is just one. Because now it’s, you know, four or 399 of those scores include. Mom, it’s 400 now. Okay. No, that’s the very point. I was doing the math when I wrote the note, because I was. Oh, I should write 399. Oh, wait. Nope, nope. We add one more. Although, living in Japan, except for the twitching, the eggs did look like something you would eat, so.

Roe, so they call it. That’s right. Although. Do you. Do you eat clown fish? Yeah, I don’t think we eat clownfish roe, but it did have the look of, you know, salmon roe for sure. But I had to do some nitpicky research on this that if you damage a fish egg, you know, like, where it shows the last remaining egg, which is Nemo, and it’s got, like, a tiny little, like, scratch on it, um, that does actually. Or can result in, like, deformities. So I was wondering. I don’t know why, but I was just wondering, like, what a scratch on the edge of an egg, really? Cause, like, one of your fins or some usually causes death.

So I guess he got off extra lucky twice. And then after that, we go straight to the school thing, where school is kind of. We just did teacher’s pet, right, which is a movie that only we have seen. But of course, we had to do a lot of talking about school for that. That’s not a slam on the movie. It’s just, like, not. People don’t know that movie, so. But, yeah, I was thinking about school here kind of being, like, the ideal or something. Like, oh, Nemo really wants to go to school. You have to go to school.

Dad’s not sure if you should go to school. And that, I don’t know, that just kind of made a weird vibe for me. Did you pick up on anything there? Well, the school thing was basically his one entry point into the world, and dad didn’t even want that. I didn’t even want him to go to school. And once he found out that the school was going on to this drop off point, then he starts freaking out because he didn’t realize what he had kind of signed up for. So I don’t know, is this just the state taking over your children? And then when you realize that they’ve basically brought you to, like, a drop off point and now it’s too late? There’s also, I just want to say, I guess, on that same vein of, like, public education.

Right. The initial theme of this movie to Nemo, and then as a proxy to whoever is watching it, is to, like, not trust your parents, that your parents don’t have the answers and that you should follow what the school basically says. And then even after you’ve outgrown kind of, like, the school’s education, that you still should be questioning your parents in particular. Like, your parents don’t know what the hell is going on. And I feel like that’s a very specific, Disney esque way to make somebody feel. The only time that we see any parent that knows what they’re doing is essentially when we meet the turtles, which is probably, like, a little bit midpoint or after of this movie.

Of course, CNN wants to let you know that it’s not safe to go to school. Right, sorry, I was just. Click. I was having a check, actually, because as we’re recording this, there’s yet another school shooting. It’s on top of all the headlines. I was just looking at the japanese news sites where there is not a single mention of that. I’m still up. Here we go. It’s fourth down on the world page. That’s where the american headline currently sits. Just. Just for a perception thing. Like, you know, in America, it’s like, this is the top story of the universe, and in Japan, it’s page four of section three of the paper.

So, I mean, did 400 people die? Because if not, it pales in comparison to what Disney is doing. That’s right. Disney is taking out all those children. That’s horrible. It was funny, though, just the. When I watched a movie, I literally, yesterday afternoon, was teaching, like, japanese four year olds and trying to get them to pronounce c anime. So it’s like, oh, now I’m back to work. You know, I feel like that might be evil. Like teaching japanese children about CNN. No, no. See an enemy. See an enemy. Okay. No, I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned CNN to a student.

No, it’s a. Yeah, see an enemy. Because it was the marine life vocabulary for four year olds. Although I thought actually seeing enemy was kind of mean to put that in there. The rest of it was just like shark, turtle, you know, jellyfish. Of course, the whole lesson is made to vaguely look like Nemo. Right? Because kids like that, so they love clownfish. Now, if I were a clownfish, I’d memorize a few stock jokes, you know, especially since he’s an adult and he’s had time to do that. Just, he doesn’t have to be funny. Just two jokes, you know, you whip him out when you need them.

What would have been perfect would have been like a Joe Pesci sort of thing. Or if there was a Joe Pesci clownfish in this movie, it would have. It would have been so perfect. I don’t know how familiar you are with. With Goodfellas. Oh, I’m very familiar with Goodfellas. Though I will say I slight. Slightly prefer casino for I. Why do I prefer better soundtrack, weirder violence, more peshy than that, really? So maybe that’s why I like. You know what, though? I mean, they’re both good individually, but you would never. You would never think that casino was a better movie than Goodfellas until you had seen them both.

And on that, it’s almost like you have to see them both because they’re both so damn good. Yeah. They should both be viewed, for sure. So I’ve met. I’ve met plenty of people that are like, I didn’t really like Goodfellas, and I don’t trust them. I don’t talk to them anymore. That’s because they saw dances with wolves, the clearly better movie because it won the Oscar over Goodfellas, meaning it’s the better movie. I don’t hate dancing with wolves either. It’s one of those weird movies that if it’s a four hour movie, but if I find it on somewhere, I don’t know how.

I’m, like, entranced and I have to watch it until the end. Oh, it’s a buffalo scene for sure. What else? Forest Gump won over pop fiction. So Forrest Gump is a better movie than pop fiction for sure. The english patient’s better in a lot of movies. Yeah. Put out little Nemo sometimes. First Pixar best animated film because we talked about, I think the first year was Shrek, the second was spirited away, and the year after that was Nemo. So this was their 1st. 1st time at bat for that particular Oscar. But hey, you know what? If you’re going to.

This seems like the Pixar movie to get that first, you know, that makes sense. They didn’t give the monsters. I found a couple other interesting notes on, like, why this became cultural phenomenon in some ways. So it was a first in a few different avenues where it addressed some kind of deeper topics directly, head on, or at least for the first time, in, like, indirect ways. So Marlon is a single parent that’s kind of like, struggling, and he’s got PTSD. Like, unquestionably he’s got PTSD because his wife and 399 of their children were violently attacked, and he got knocked out in the whole process and everything.

Then we’ve got Nemo himself, who is differently abled. That was the phrase that Disney used in pretty much all their interviews about him having. And it was a lucky fin, the little, like, the little withered fin that he’s got a whip around, like four times as fast, that he was one of the first differently abled protagonists in any Disney movie. One of his classmates said he was h two o intolerant. Of course, I thought that was funny. And his. It was also recognized as Dory. Ellen DeGeneres basically plays the first main neurodivergent character in a Disney movie, at least one that was given credit as being such.

Yeah. Although she also comes across like a broken MK ultra victim, which maybe we’re going to talk about, but. Well, yeah, we have to. We have to. But I mean, that none of. I guess the nice thing is none of it’s like, really. They don’t really beat you over the head with much of this. I mean, there’s a little bit about Nemo’s fin, of course. And I guess Dory’s just Dory, you know? Although I did, you know, I started writing just keep swimming, but by the end, I’m writing just keep swimming. Pros, you know, especially the climax of the movie.

I don’t know. Yeah, this is, I mean, Dory is charming, right? Ellen’s got a weird career. I actually did watch her sitcom in the nineties, at least the first year of it when it had a different name, I think. And then they changed everything. And, yeah, when you’re a kid, when you’re like, 15 and, like, suddenly the show changes two main characters and doesn’t say anything, you’re like, wait, what? Huh? Also, I would watch dumb sitcoms at the time, which I don’t think I would do. I don’t think I’ve watched a sitcom for God knows how long.

You know, comedy doesn’t make it to Japan as much. I’ve gone back and re watched some of the sitcoms that I remember growing up. And they were better. I mean, because when I was younger, I didn’t know what the hell they were talking about half the time. And, I mean, I don’t know, like perfect strangers. Holy hell. What a great series. Start to end. I can’t. What else? The odd couple. I don’t know. Maybe I’m dating myself, actually been like oldies that replayed. And I was watching, I’ll occasionally read dabble and mash or the Simpsons. Just some nights I think I’ll watch a few mash, watch a few Simpsons, that sort of thing.

But, yeah, dude, watching anywhere from season. Is the Simpsons really a sitcom, though? Yeah, of course it is. Okay. I mean, the Simpsons have kind of defined what the sitcom was. But even the Simpsons, I think, was based on married with children in a way. Right? Like that format of, like, the deadbeat dad. And now that is the default. Like, if you try, try and find a sitcom that exists where the dad is like a positive role model in almost any of them and he’s not some kind of bumbling idiot that just magoos himself into being a role model.

Yeah. But, yeah, I guess it’s just a lack of comedy. I’m not funny anymore. I don’t see funny things. But, yeah, here’s the funny thing. That when a comedy does become popular in Japan, friends was very popular in Japan, and everyone referred to it as a drama. People weren’t like, it’s a sitcom or a comedy. Oh, friends. I like that drama. It’s like, friends, drama. What? Well, it’s one of those shows that you wouldn’t know that it’s funny except for the laugh track and, like, big bang theory. You’re like, oh, this. This is the part that it’s supposed to be funny.

Okay, I get it. Yeah. That is one nice thing. Talk about mash again, on the mash dvd’s from way back when. You can turn off the laugh track. So the laugh track is never on which. And then that show has writing where the jokes are usually funny. So, you know, it plays much better without the laugh track. So another. I mean, kind of like in mash, the enemies, the main villains of finding Nemo, are all humans. Sharks are not the bad guys. Jellyfish are not the bad guys. Pelicans aren’t even the bad guys. Every single natural predator that would normally be just absolutely eviscerating and eating down on these fish, they all end up being helpful.

And every single thing that’s bad that happens to anyone start to end, all has to do with humans. It’s still a force of nature thing for the most part. Even Darla, who’s the most villainous of the humans, is just like a. I’m going to call her a dumb kid with quotation marks around. Dumb, right? I mean, she’s made to look derpy. That’s the whole point of Darla. She’s almost like an angelica pickles. You know, she’s a bad guy just because of how crazy she looks. She’s got, like, the. Not the huge and flared nostrils and the braces.

No shade to anyone that hasn’t flared nostrils and braces, but, like, she has a certain look. And it doesn’t help that the picture of her is literally holding a dead fish. And that’s her whole backstory, is that she likes to shake fish and what she does to Nemo the second she gets Nemo, too. So, yeah, she lives up to her name, and I think she kind of personifies that. Hey, look, even the youngest, like, even the Nemo equivalent, right? She’s like a human nemo, at least in terms of age and, like, relation to the world. And she’s horrible.

Like, she’s a. She’s going to kill everything that she touches. Yeah. Although she doesn’t really have, like, malice to speak of because she. She just doesn’t understand the fish. You know, the guy that catches Nemo, he’s just doing his tropical fish job. Tropical fish in Maine. He even says, I saved this little guy. He was. He was out, like, fending for himself, which is kind of true. He did kind of get whisked away, and he went off that drop off point, which he shouldn’t have. But, yeah, that. That was the. The Disney handlers snatching up the next star is the Pixar proxy that humans are bad.

Because I’m sitting here thinking, in toy Story, Sid’s the villain, right? Basically. Again, man, I think Sid is a good guy in Toy Story. No, I do. But. But as far as scripture, he’s like, Darla’s of the villain. You know, Sid’s the villain, of course. You know, I have a Sid at school. He’s difficult to teach, especially with other kids, but he also builds functioning guns out of paper and rubber bands, so that’s kind of cool. Darla, to me, has no redeeming qualities, though. Like, all she does is murders animals. That’s. That is her role in this world until someone teaches or she reveals otherwise.

Right. But Sid’s role is to repurpose things that have been thrown away and turn them into new things. And, like, he. Like, if there were more sids, there would be less pollution and therefore lessen I nemos getting caught up in, you know, like, weird trash and sewage treatment plants. Yes, but script construction wise, that’s the antagonist of toy story, right? A bug’s life. If you want to go by that weird Pixar timeline thing, then a bug’s life isn’t a post apocalyptic world, which I support that monsters, Inc. They’re terrified of children. They’re boo. I mean, boo doesn’t have a bone of malice or anything.

She’s not a bad guy. But they all think she’s poisonous, right? The humans are poisonous, so. And here we are finding Nemo, where, like you said, the shark are at least trying to get over their. Their eating frenzy. But it’s the humans that are doing the things that we have to get over and, you know, surmount well. And it also seems that, like, in the movie finding Nemo, none of the humans seem to have any redeeming qualities. Like, none of. None of them seem like they are unwitting, you know, unwittingly part of any of this. It’s just like the pollution being caused, the fissure men that catches them, which ends up being the dentist, Darla, the, like, basically, the entire water treatment plant, everything that humans have come into contact with ultimately results in something that will potentially kill Nemo and his dad and everyone, even, I guess, at the very beginning, the fish that takes out his mom and all the other eggs, that is the one natural enemy that actually makes good on the threat because like, you’re saying even the shark that they run into, the sharks are going through like a weird AA program where they’re, they’re trying to get off of eating fish for, I don’t know what reason.

Um, they don’t really explain why they’re gonna eat bugs. What is. What’s a shark gonna eat? Maybe it’s people. Yeah, yeah. Although sharks, you know, they don’t. Here’s the thing with sharks. They don’t. They’re usually not that hungry. And when they’re not hungry, they’re just swimming around. Well, until they are. That’s why you can go to South Africa swimming with sharks because they typically, you know, it’s. They don’t need to eat that often. They’re. Right, but I’m, but I’m saying if a shark, if the. All the sharks are swearing off eating fish, the only other thing they’re eating is people, is it not? They don’t have the gums to eat krill.

Right. So, you know, like a whale or something. I mean, you know, obviously it’s funny in the movie, but then I do find I conflate that scene a lot. Once, once a little blood starts coming out and he goes rabid or whatever. It really feels like. I confuse it with the scene from Little Mermaid. Pretty hardcore. Like, it seems like the same scene to me. Is there a part where a shark smells blood in the water and little mermaid and goes insane? No, but it goes chasing her and flounders through that wooden ship. So, yeah, I mean, that’s a different ship.

I mean, it is a different scene. It’s just like the tonally, it’s like so similar that it sticks out to me. Yeah. I mean, because that shark is kind of the big bad. Although in this one they make a direct confrontation with the shark and then he ends up not being such a bad guy, at least for this small moment in time. Yeah. And of course, he’s Bruce. That’s the jaw shark, which Spielberg named after his divorce lawyer. I guess someone’s like, why didn’t you mention it? If I don’t mention it? So. Named his shark after his divorced lawyer.

Yeah, I can appreciate that, I guess, but. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just, I’m just trying to push forth. The sharks are majestic creatures thing and not, not necessarily jaws. Right. So, I mean, they’re basically dinosaurs. Right? It’s the dolphins that are a holes. You know, I remember when I was working at that whale camp place, being on a boat several times and dolphins just screwing with you, you’d be at the side of the boat, and they come up like. And then in Japan, Fukui Prefecture. Sorry, that sounds dirty when you say, doesn’t it? But they’ve had a dolphin going around and biting people, like, all summer.

It’s like the dumb version of jaws. They figured it’s the same dolphin, and he’s just getting ballsier. I don’t know if you’ve seen this one, but apparently, Dolph, I don’t know if this was the US, but dolphins have been being sexually aggressive with people more so than previously, where they are, like, sexually assaulting humans. That’s probably because of what’s his name from the seventies. Yeah. John C. Lilly. Yes. Thank you. Because that. I think he just facilitated it. Like, he led them on, and, I don’t know. It’s kind of wrong to lead a dolphin on. There is a great scene in the animated Star Trek lower decks that were.

Because in the eighties, people are like, why does the enterprise have cetacean ops? And then you never see it in the show, but it was someone put in, like, the official blueprints or something, like, as a joke. So, you know, 30 years later, the. The comedy animated shows, okay, we’re putting cetacean ops in, and they’re just like, hey, jump in with us. Come play with us. It’s kind of creepy. So, yeah, dolphins. See, you want to think, oh, dolphins are cute. I like dolphins, but dolphins could be a holes. Yeah. Whales are nicer than dolphins, probably because dolphins are smart, so they know not to be around us and to pester us when they are, you know, like, they’re kind of like dogs, and dogs can be dicks.

Yeah, yeah. True, true. How do you think fish accents work in this coral reef? Everyone has a different accent, which doesn’t make sense. Sorry. That’s because that. Neither here nor really just. Well, actually, no, it is kind of here and there. Because the other aspect of this movie, at least, like, in some of the marketing coverage, was that this movie had this undertone of globalism in that you get a different accent from almost every single corner of the world, and they’re all working in unison. And you’ve had. It’s almost like the twilight bark, but if you applied it to the entire ocean.

So now, again, like, fish and pelican and krill and whales and, like, every. Everyone except for freaking pigeons, because they are just mindless skyrats, but every other animal of the sea is basically coordinating and working together to reunite Nemo and his dad. Which doesn’t make any sense. Like, that would never happen in any context. But that was one of the themes of the show is that as a kid watching it, you’re like, oh, look at all these different accents and different cultures and countries, and they’re all working together. No one’s eating each other. Like, they’re all friends.

Humans are bad people. There we go. We suck. We got to get under the sea. Yeah, another little mermaid parallel, I guess, for that. I was thinking, just because you were talking about how none of the do the jellyfish aren’t helpful, that’s weirdly terrifying in the end, isn’t it? Yeah. I don’t think they’re doing anything. Like, they’re just doing anything. Although I would say that, I mean, the dentist isn’t doing much. He knows. He knows a guy that sells some fish. That’s a little shady, I guess, because there doesn’t seem to be a middle. He knows that Darla means certain death.

I think that’s pretty evident. Yeah. But although I do think since he’s the uncle, he’s probably like, la la la about it, you know, not really accepting that’s what happened. Has a dead fish in it. I mean, is it really villainous to put a better cleaning system, filtration system in your fish tank? No. I mean, it was bad in this case because of what the fish were trying to do, but in general, that would be a good thing, you know, I guess I don’t know much about keeping fish, so if we were to take literal what the fish saw as, like, their perfect outcome, which is how the movie ends.

Right. They escape into the. The bay of Sydney, like, right outside the opera house. Is that where you would throw tropical fish and expect them to do fine, which is to throw them out and they’re, like, literally right off the side of a highway. I don’t know. Maybe this is my ignorance showing, but I’d assume you would go in there and the fish are, like, dead within 24 hours from the. All of the industrial runoff from the road and everything else in there, especially if they were used to kind of being in a fairly regulated environment for such a long time.

Yeah. Nemo, too. Nemo has a touch of the black lung, you know? Right. And I guess all our fish friends are doomed. At the end, we last see them all in bags floating on the water. Right. They all suffocate to death. That was after the credits, and the australian sun’s going to get them in a few minutes. You know, they’re going to you can eat them in about three minutes, probably. It’s as the pelican says, like, fish got to swim and birds got to eat. It almost seems that a bird would come down and try and eat it, and then it would eat this plastic bag.

So now the bird and the fish are going to die, but then I guess that’s where the sharks going to get his meal. Have you been stung by a jellyfish? Yep, and I had a pee on it. Oh, okay. A couple times at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and I. Oh, no, that’s a no. I think I was in the water. Uh, but, yeah, I do remember going to the. The first aid, like, on the boardwalk, you know, for that. And, yeah, jellyfish things suck. And I think I didn’t swim in the ocean for, like, ten years after that.

I was like, I don’t want to have to deal with that. You know, I stepped on one that was, like, right on the. The shoreline that. I mean, I was swimming and I was doing, like, wakeboarding and stuff. I stepped on it, and, yeah, I hurt my foot pretty bad, and I beat on it. But then I’ve also been in places that I didn’t realize, but there were just, like, in this movie when the jellyfish start out, you see these, like, little, teeny, tiny ones before the huge ones show up. Right. But there’s also just, like, bits and pieces of the little tentacles that’ll just, like, float around.

And I’ve been out in the water before there, too. He just. You’re just swimming and you’re just like, why is my whole body just hurting all over the place? And it’s usually because there’s all these, like, little. Just stray tentacles that are still hitting you. Yeah, of course, now I. When I get the chance, usually when my company has a trip, I’ll go snorkeling in Okinawa, where they have signs like, watch out for these eight things that will kill you instantly in the water, especially the sea snakes, which I’ve seen. You know, I’m, like, 10 meters above, they’re 10 meters below, and they stay on the ocean floor, so.

But, yeah, you are like, wow, there’s a very dangerous thing down there. It’s not a snake, right? What is it, like, an eel? Yeah, it’s like an eel, but, you know, it’s like a surf in the sea. They call it a sea snake for whatever reason. But, yeah, it would be an eel. Of course. That’s just very venomous. Apparently, that was. That was one thing that stood out in this movie, too. Is that they’re constantly reminded of their mortality in pretty much every single scene. There’s, there’s almost every environment they find themselves in. They always have either a scare or a nod to like, oh, yeah, you can die from this.

Even the turtles, which is like the most laid back scene, and the kid gets thrown out of the jet stream. But the end, the dad’s like, oh, no, just wait and see if he gets back in. But the implication there is if he didn’t figure it out. Oh, little buddy just didn’t figure it out, I guess. Well, he’s got a hundred. A hundred little turtlings. That’s the other thing that’s kind of goes unspoken. Like, why did they have 400 eggs? Well, because they probably weren’t expecting 400 children. Yeah. Although the other end with mortal dangers, because that kid, the turtle kid, he barely struggles.

He gets right back in. There’s no struggle there, which that would have been disturbing if crush was basically saying that. And, yeah, and then he was struggling for real. But then when I would expect some real struggling in the aquarium when Willem Dafoe fish is like, you know, no, don’t help him get out of the tube. And he gets out of the tube in about 2 seconds. Doesn’t look that hard, does it? Well, yeah. And I guess the other thing, too, is that, as we saw, if he didn’t get out of that tube, he would have just been shredded into a tiny little bajillion Ghibli bits, right? Yeah, maybe like, wow, that just happened.

Credits roll. Sometimes it doesn’t go the way you think, kids. The end. Oh, they’re on that tipping submarine at one part. Right. And I did have the dark thought of that’s probably filled with corpses. There’s a submarine at the bottom of the ocean. There’s some corpses in there. And that’s, that’s kind of dark for a Disney. And surrounded by underwater mines, too. As we’re recording this, the new alien is being released in Japan. And I have a friend saying he’s going to go see it tomorrow or whatever, but I really hope that, I know it doesn’t, but I really want the new alien movie to start with the Disney Castle logo.

That would be fantastic. I think. I think someone said they actually repurposed an old fox logo. But I was like, no, no, put the castle logo. Because when this movie started, I think that I was like, they weren’t using this in 2003. I was watching the Blu ray cut, and I was like, it didn’t have this modern one it was an older logo. I think it’s weird how much Disney scrubs all of their old logos because think Ocean’s eleven, where Warner’s like, ah, use a seventies logo because it’s cool. Disney won’t do that. I mean, Disney retconned Uncle Remus completely out of a major motion picture movie that was otherwise groundbreaking for the time.

Right, right. And they finally changed. Right. Except in Japan. You can still ride splash Mountain in Japan if you really need a splash mountain. I could see them changing that to the Lion King or something. You know, that that would make sense. I don’t, I don’t know if Tiana is popular enough in Japan. Do they have like an Uncle Remus shine your shoes on the way out of the ride in Japan? No, but all the creatures are speaking in Japanese, which is weird, especially since I’m from Georgia. So when I. A ride on japanese flash mountain, it’s like, this is kind of weird.

Is there such thing as a, like a southern twang to a Japanese? I think they’re trying to sound homey in a way, but also, yeah, it’s been a long, it’s been. When was the last time I rode splashed mountain in Japan? Probably like 2007 or something. So I’m a little bit on the old memory side there because that’s, I think that’s the only thrill ride I got my wife to get on because she don’t want to get on anything that’s even slightly thrilling. So she was, here’s what I remember about Splash Mountain. She was really pissed off at the end of the ride.

She kept saying, like, she was screaming at the animals, like, you all kept saying it was going to be okay and then it wasn’t. That was her take of the ride. Did the animals tell you that it’s going to be okay? Yeah, yeah, I guess the eye. Oh, don’t worry. Everything’s going to work out just fine. And then she was like, they kept telling me that. And then it wasn’t fine because, you know, we went down the splash part of the mountain, but did you die? Yes, yes, yes. Have you seen the special when they opened Splash Mountain with Ernest P.

Worl in it? I do recommend watching. It shows him training like an astronaut to go down splash mountain. You know, they’re trying to make it look as terrifying as possible. And then when they show him going down, it’s just like this extended shot of like his hair sticking up and flashing lights and stuff. It makes it look like he’s entering hell or something. It’s great. Earnest, scared stupid. Yep. There we go. But yes. Yes. No southern accents in Nemo, though, I don’t think. Do we get southern? We get australian. We get some brits. Oh, yeah, that.

The one fun bit of Andrew Stanton other. And him saying, like, I was here, and this was interesting. I put in the movie is he does do the voice of crushed, which he did as a demo reel. So apparently it says he was. When you hear crush, the voice actor who’s the director of the movie, is lying on a couch in an office doing that because it was just supposed to be a temp track, but then everyone kind of liked it, I guess. Or he just had a big ego, and they left it in, you know.

Well, little column a, little column b. Yeah. Yeah. The explanation is everyone liked in test screen. Well, maybe he wanted to be in a movie, you know? Doesn’t he get a SaG card for doing that? Well, if you do an animated voice, does that make you a union man or woman? I don’t know. I don’t know. That part of the trade, I guess. I live in LA. I know that. Do voices even have gender? It seems like such an abstract concept. Yeah. Yeah. Like, what’s the gender of that sound wave? Which sound. Sound wave from the transformers? Yeah.

It’s really hard to tell because it’s so automated. You can’t tell what that is. I hope I’m getting my transformers right. I had to point out, too. I mean, it’s an obvious one, but we’ve got another Pixar Kubrick reference, which makes me want to go back and rewatch all Pixar and find Kubrick references and all of them. But I guess the obvious ones is, what, toy story two? And now finding Nemo. There’s probably others. What was that? Here. I probably picked up on it and just forgot about it. What? This one. It’s. Here’s Brucey when they’re running away from the shark.

Oh, right. Okay. Park sticks his head through a little gap in the U two submarine boat, and he’s like, here’s Brucey. So that was clearly a shining reference. Yeah. Although, one, I think of Jack Nicholson before Kubrick. And that specific reference, of course, the shining as a whole, I think of Kubrick with that specific moment. I’m like, jack Nicholson. Right. And then I’m already thinking about Bruce the shark from jaws. So I guess I was just awash in references at that point. There’s a reference to the porcelain express, which is fun. Lots of. There’s a few different fart jokes in this one.

Lots of burp jokes that they kind of hit all the different notes. Boys and girls and adults and kids. Like, there really is a whole bunch of different programming meant to reach all of them. How do you feel about the animation of this 20 years down the line? It’s serviceable. There’s good. There’s good and bad. Anytime they show the surface of the water, it’s really bad. That’s probably the worst part. Every time the camera goes up above and you can see, like, almost to the horizon, that looks horrible. Just because it’s the exact same repeating pattern over and over.

And then they. Ratzenberger fish looked pretty bad, I thought. They look pretty PlayStation ready, PlayStation two for the time period. I don’t. I don’t think that any of them were too bad. And you can kind of tell, too, that at this point in time, it was. It was possible, but impressive, to do lots of light refraction and, like, how light would hit different kind of surfaces differently and kind of. I guess one of the pronounced versions of this is when they go up above the water and you can see they’ve got, like, a sheen to their skin.

They go back down and it goes away. Um, and, like, some of, like, the subsurface scattering, like, that is what they’re flexing on, but, like, the reflections are almost non existent. And like I was mentioning with that, the surface water, it’s just like a repeating pattern that goes on forever. So I guess they didn’t have the tools yet that just added all that, like, variation programmatically. So it’s. It’s the little tiny, nitpicky things, but, yeah, it’s. It stood out as, like, oh, this is early two thousands. Yeah. And I mean, the story and all that does.

I mean, that this is still a great movie. Don’t get me wrong. I was just like, it’s been a little while since I watched it. I’m like, this definitely does not look as good as it used to. I mean, most of the backgrounds are nothing in contrast to live action filming where Jaws and Waterworld become nightmare production shooting on the water. This one is easy because, hey, now we don’t have to do backgrounds for the most part, unless, you know, except for key scenes where we want to put something in there. Yeah, I mean, this movie could theoretically be run in, like, unreal engine five, and I don’t think you would know the difference.

No. It’s kind of like another Transformers reference with Beast wars, where, like, the whole show is, like, three transformers at a time. Standing in a vast plane of nothingness, you know, and it’s not that bad as far as, like, saving your production money. But. But I, you know, when we go back, when we went back and watched Fantasia and Snow White, they looked amazing, right? And whereas these Pixars, while the story is still good, the acting, voice acting still good, they’re still good movies. But it’s like, yeah, this animation really doesn’t look as good as it used to, which I guess that’s what happens when you tie your art too closely to technology.

Yeah, there’s that, and then there’s also it affords it. And I don’t know, this is maybe controversial and, like, the biggest nerd circles of, like, animation purists and stuff, but in the classic animation, that’s so impressive looking, I think that there’s a bias where it’s like, wow, like, some, like, people did this. This took a lot of time. Once the computer starts doing it, you give a little bit less credit to the computer. I don’t, because I don’t want them to take me out when they take over. So I’m impressed with computers, but also the new technology that we see in these movies.

Dinosaur and on now, instead of relying on, say, like, a tedious version of rotoscoping, which was kind of hard, like, whenever you saw something rotoscoped in those classic movies, you could tell that they were dancing. You could tell they were, like, doing a thing. But it almost, at least me, like, takes me out of it a little bit because it’s like, wait a minute. This isn’t normal animation because it’s missing some of that, like, bounce and give and, like, overextended kind of feels, especially those earlier ones. But the point being is that, like, the modern technology, they actually can use facial expressions and subtle body movements and, like, nonverbal cues way more than they ever could in any of the hand drawn animations.

Like, you could convey some nonverbal communication through, like, squinting the eyes and giving people, like, very specific looks. But it has to be in almost a kabuki theater style, like, overemphasis version of that. Right. But in these, like, modern ones, another example, which maybe not the best one, but. But they do it a couple times in here where they show the pilot fish slowly coming into focus. They show the shark kind of, like, slowly coming in the focus doing those in, like, the classic animation, usually it’s done in a completely different manner, whereas this one that really subtly starts coming in, you see the whole silhouette.

There’s just so many other versions where they can rely on the animation to tell the story a little bit more than they used to be able to. I think now, in 20 years, these might look horribly dated. I don’t know. But I have kind of, like, the recent kind of hybrid approach into the spider verse does this a little bit. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant mayhem does it. Where they have the 3d models, it’s basically 3d animation, but then they’re not like it. Where they’ve kind of. Okay, just. I know exactly what you’re talking about. I’ve seen it done in a whole bunch of different ways.

The Borderlands video game was kind of an early entry into that same sort of aesthetic, where it’s like 3d models with a combination of cell shading, sometimes even with, like, brushstrokes to represent all the lines and stuff that get drawn. Yeah, no, I hate it. I’ve always hated it. I haven’t seen. I’ve seen it done kind of well, and even then, I still hate it. I would point you towards the mutant mayhem, though. It’s the first watchable Turtles movie since 1990. You know, I don’t. I’ve seen it. I don’t hate it. I don’t hate the turtles.

I hate the animation style. But, yeah, I mean, I can deal with it, but, yeah, I do. It’s going to be like the dubstep of animation. And a certain point we’re going to be like, oh, that’s from a very specific point in time. Of course, you could say that for someone like Ralph Batshee or something, right? Where it looks dated now, but it looks cool. You know, you’re talking about a specific person, just like Don Bluth. You could point out Don Bluth, which is. It’s more of an ode to that particular artist defining a look. Whereas this look, it’s like, oh, it’s the borderlands thing.

Right? Right. Well, we’re like an hour in and haven’t actually cracked into your notes, so let’s. Let’s dive down a hole. What do you have? Well, like I said, this one kind of covers everything. So there’s definitely the. They’re Ferngully formula. So this is, humans are bad, animals are good, and for whatever reason that I think this works really well because on these, like, tug at your heartstring kind of aspects, right. When it gets to certain points in the movie, I think knowing that humans are the bad people deep down, like they’re the ultimate villains, it just tugs a little bit extra harder because you realize that ultimately, all these animals are screwed.

Like, whatever they do. You know what I mean? Like, even everything they overcome and they’re fighting off sharks and everything, all it takes is just for some guy on vacation to scoop him up out of the ocean and give him to someone that they love as a gift, and everything is for naught. It’s almost like you would rather get eaten by a shark in your natural environment. Even the little fish tank that they’ve got a. But it’s absolutely all. It’s a prison, right? And I guess I don’t know where your thoughts are on this, on the scale from PETA to I don’t care, I’ll eat it right now.

You know what I mean? It’s definitely like a PETA approach, where any animal inside of any sort of captivity or in proximity to any human is essentially at risk and is about to meet a tragic death, which I don’t know if I can disagree with, but that’s kind of one of these underlying subtle plots they don’t bring up, but it’s. It’s 100% established in the movie in so many different ways. So that part, I think, was pretty important. Yeah, I guess. What’s bad against nature, though? This is more of a skirmish, right? Ferngully, Avatar, Princess Mononoke.

Those are major blow ups of the, you know, back in some active way, they’re. They’re trying to fight back human encroaching. But even then, you, as the viewer, as a human, realize, like, kind of how pointless, you know, this little fairy or like a little fruit bat is going to, you know, really be against the global conglomeration that wants to mow down the rainforest so they can grow cows and turn them into paddies. I mean, I don’t know. When you’re watching 1930 one’s King Kong, you’re kind of rooting for King Kong, right? I am, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It’s a good point. Because humans are bastards. But King Kong, I don’t think, was marketed directly at children and then immediately had happy meals, toys as well. Yeah. Although I think that that was an early version of the, well, at least multi quadrant. Right. I’m sure a lot of kids in 1931 wanted to go see King Kong, go see the giant monkey. Yeah. And now I know that there’s finding dory, so. And we won’t read ahead or anything. So just within the context of finding Nemo, it’s not really explained what the heck is wrong with this fish’s brain? Like, why is Alan DeGeneres constantly taking the fifth and forgetting everything that’s happened to her.

Except for the address in Sydney, none of that really seems to ever be explained unless I completely overlooked it. But, I mean, MK, you said a failed mkUltra. I actually think that this movie slowly kind of shows all the different steps. And I know that we’ve kind of been through this analogy in previous movies, too, especially like Piglet. The Piglet’s been movie was a really good one because it kind of showed, like, wiping someone’s memory out. Well, this is. I think that finding Nemo shows you the after effects. This is, like, all the ways that humans have destroyed things around them, including other humans.

So now, instead of the actual. Okay, here’s step one. Step two, they kind of insinuate, like, what the processes are, and they show you the after effects. So here’s Dory, who’s kind of like, she’s maybe been through the electroshock therapy too many times, um, so that she no longer has any sort of short term memory. And this is actually a very real thing. In the military, they would do concussion research, and they would try to see, um, based on both high altitude and also, um, like, like deep sea pressure, but they would see how they could knock somebody out, bring them unconscious, and how that would affect their.

Their memory. Uh, and they were able to show that you can cause amnesia without hypnosis just through brute force. Like, literally brute force if you know how to hit them just right with the right amount and kind of timed out. Right. You also have Marlon. And Marlon is literally has built up, like, emotional scarring around himself when he goes and they’re going through the jellyfish, and she’s like, don’t you feel this? And he’s like, yeah, but I’m used to it. But I think, like, yeah, like, 400 of my family has died, so, like, I don’t feel physical pain.

Like, it makes me feel alive. That’s kind of what I’m hearing from Marlon in this case. And both of those are essentially dory. And Marlon are both the results of extreme traumatic experiences. Theyre both processing PTSD in their own ways. Yeah, ive only seen finding Dory once eight years ago, and I remember it being explained, but I actually dont remember what the explanation was at all. So just from this movie, im like, well, she was probably swimming around one of those carvers and got some medals in the head. Also, lets face it, thats probably more how a fish mine works, right? There’s no reason for a fish to actually remember anything for more than 5 seconds, right? Except that there wouldn’t be a movie here.

It would just be, like, the most abstract bunch of fish that are just like, I lost my wife and my kids. Wait, what was that? Okay, what was I talking about? And you brought up pooh. And I guess no one’s, like, actively gaslighting Dory a little bit. Just when Marlon is like, I can use this to my advantage to get away. But in general, no one’s really, in this movie really messing with dory that much, except for just a little light marlining. Again, I can’t really think of any time that any of the fishes even exploit each other.

Even the one time that maybe happens is when Gil is talking Nemo into plugging up the motor inside of the fish filtration. Right? And that’s part of his big plan. And then he feels bad about it because he realized that he wanted to get out so bad that he was willing to sacrifice Nemo’s safety in order to do that, and he completely retreated. And like that. That was one of the biggest kind of moral lessons of the entire movie, I think, was when they show this guy that feels bad because he had put Nemo in this situation.

So, I mean, again, like, the fish and the wildlife and just animals in general are kind of shown as completely altruistic. They’re all out to kind of help each other in this movie. Couple exceptions, because down to the Ratzenberger fish, right? They’re little tiny greyfish. At least have. They can talk, but the jellyfish don’t. They don’t have a mouth. That explains it. How about the mind birds? We get another bird, the seagull, which is, you know, perfectly. He’s like the rescuer’s bird albatross. Right? But then we have these. The mind birds are. They have no mind.

The mind birds have no mind. That’s a little hard to say. Well, and they’re not altruistic. They want to eat the fish. Well, I think that those are the birds that aren’t real. Have you heard the birds aren’t real? No. Go for that. I want to hear about the birds being not real. You’ve never heard of the concept? As a quick aside, before you do that, though, I hate, at Epcot center that they changed living seas to a nemo themed thing. But I did like the animatronic mind birds outside of it, so. Okay. Yeah, it did take it from kind of feeling like an educational thing to okay, now it’s a marketing thing.

Like, now I’ve just entered another gift shop. Right, right. And the dumb elevators they put you. And they still do that in Tokyo, by the way, for the journey to the center of the earth. You get in a elevator that’s supposed to be going to, you know. Well, the center of the earth. Well, right. And I believe that epcot, at one point, it was like 20,000 leagues under the sea, sort of themed. And they also had a glass bottom boat in the magic kingdom. I think that was literally 20,000 leagues under the sea. Sort of branded.

Yes. They opened with it. Yeah. That cost too much money, though. So it just unceremoniously closed in the mid nineties. We’re trying to keep them a lagoon, especially in, you know, weird, variable Florida weather and climate. That’s no good. Anyway. Yeah. You were talking about the birds are not real. Which birds? Is this just in Dory or is this a general concept of. This is a general concept, and I think it usually does apply to pigeons more in particular than anything else. But this idea that. Well, I guess it starts with a question. Have you ever seen a baby pigeon? Hmm.

I want to say yes, but I can’t, so. Yeah, well, and it’s because that there’s no such thing as baby pigeons because pigeons are not real animals. These are actually all surveillance devices that are constantly being upgraded and released by intelligence agencies worldwide. All right, that’s a fun one. Okay. No, I actually don’t think I’ve run across that one before. I was. I was having a walk with a few pigeons a few days ago, so I guess they were surveilling me. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Look into it. Birds are not real. Okay, so in this, the.

I should give him his real name and stop saying rescuers style birdhouse. That would be a real bird, right? Or in this case, it’s the. It’s kind of the pigeons, the mindless birds, and they’re like these NPC’s. Right, right. What is that guy’s name? Sorry, I’m having a look here. Mister Ray is the. No, he’s the eel ray. That’s different. Anyway, so there’s a. There’s a. There’s a nice bird in here, I guess, is what I’m getting at. I like. I mean, I really like the role of the pigeons in here. Like the me me kind of thing.

Um, I guess they’re the closest to humans, right, in the animal world. That’s sort of their role here. A pelican. Okay, there we go. I should stop calling them. Jeffrey rushes. Nigel, the australian pelican. There we go. Okay. Give them a proper name. There now, I was wondering, too. There’s probably just a random connection, but when they. Their trademark saying is just, mine, mine, mine. Right? That’s all they say. Mine, mine, mine, mine. Right. Everything is theirs. But we also saw that scene where there was, like, mines all under the ocean. So I don’t know if they were just, like, alerting people that there’s mines down there or if they’re just all really greedy.

Yeah, I guess it’s the blank stare that really does it, though, isn’t it? So, hey, there’s a place where the animation works because they have soulless eyes and some little beady eyes and have absolutely no emotion. Yeah. I did find actually, just especially Nemo and Marlon just seemed creepier watching them this time. So their facial animation, just at times in the movie, I just felt a little creepy. I mean, it’s not as bad. Like, if you watch Shrek now, it feels like you’re watching, like, a creepypasta now. You know, that’s what watching Shrek in 2024 feels like.

So it’s not that bad, but, yeah, because they’ve been turned into so many creepy edits that now you just see the creepy part. That might be the case. Yeah. It’s like, you can’t play that with Zelda game without thinking something’s amiss. Okay, so there is a couple interesting notes in here, too. So there’s electro shock. That comes up a few times. It knocks Marlon out, and also knocks Dory out. And Dory starts talking. She starts regressing memories because of this electroconvulsive therapy that she unwittingly goes through when they go through the jellyfish. That part was interesting.

Here’s another one. And I don’t. I don’t think this has ever come up before. I’ve never heard it come up, but you’ve probably heard when we did the Aladdin one, there’s this rumor that there’s a line that they kind of sneak in, and it’s like, all teenagers, take off your clothes. And it happens so fast, and I think. I can’t remember if it was you. That shows me. But we were going through a bunch of, like, old production notes, and it actually seems like it’s a leftover note from when someone was talking to, like, the tiger.

And they mixed the audio on top of this old vo, and you can’t really tell what’s being said. And that’s what led people to think, oh, it’s. They’re talking about teenagers, take off your clothes. But it’s so subtle. Like, you would have to know that that’s what you’re listening for in order to even hear it in the first place. Meanwhile, in this movie, a main character clearly says out loud, think dirty thoughts. I have that in my notes. I said at the dentist, and he is a crappy dentist. Yeah, I wrote that down. So it did hit.

So, I mean, I haven’t heard this one come up as Disney subliminal programming, but what the hell? I mean, this is overt. He just straight up says, in a kids movie, think dirty thoughts. Which. Which doesn’t. I’ve never heard that used in any other context ever, unless it is a sexual context. Like, there. What’s a dirty thought of a white horse falling into a mud puddle? Well, I don’t know. I guess a scummy aquarium is dirty, right? That’s the context, right? I know. Someone says, think dirty thoughts. Is that what comes up is, oh, no. Aquarium dirty? Of course.

No, of course not. If you said, let’s see, scummy thoughts, that’s okay. That’s still going to be sexual, isn’t it? It’s gonna be body thoughts. Think, think, think dir. Think dirty. I’m trying to. I’m trying to figure out the key to just thinking of, like, a puddle of mud. Not the band, but an actual puddle of mud. No, unclean thoughts. See, everything I’m thinking of actually sounds dirtier. So maybe that’s where think dirty thoughts was the best line. You know? Think unclean thoughts. That. That wouldn’t have been cool. I mean, they could have literally said anything here, but what they went with was think dirty thoughts.

Yeah. And then also shortly after that, we have very real NLP hypnosis that’s kind of being employed. One of those is when Dory and Marlon get swallowed by the whale, and he’s basically, you know, like, he’s pretending that she knows how to talk to the whale. Maybe she doesn’t know how to talk to the whale. And he asks her, how do you know this is going to be fine? And she’s like, I don’t. But then at, like, the very climax of this point, where, like, all the tension’s built up, and she just says she looks directly at Marlon, and I think kind of, like, at the audience, since proxy says it’s time to let go full stop.

And then she says, everything’s gonna be all right, but this was within seconds of the, like, think dirty thoughts line, and then they cut overd tomorrow. So here. So that’s what you hear, is think dirty thoughts. It’s time to let go. Everything’s going to be okay. And then there’s one other point here, and it’s supposed to. It’s said in like a. Like, a funny way, but here’s the line, you can’t. And it’s. And it’s about Marlon saying, like, I would never let anything happen to Nemo. I told him I would never let anything happen to him.

And Dory freaking uses this, like, Jedi mind trick, NLP hypnosis triggered. She says, you can’t never let anything happen to him, because then nothing would ever happen to him. And the use of all those sort of self contradicting words in that sort of fashion is absolutely an NLP tactic. This is like Darren Brown double negative. I’m instantly going and correcting that. When a kid gives me that as an essay, there’s another one where the turtle says one of those. And this is, again, if. When the turtle’s like, let your kid go, like, don’t. Like, don’t watch over your kids.

Stop being so protective over your kid. Just let things happen. That’s also followed directly by this NLP trigger. And he says, you never really know when they know, but when they know, you’ll know. You know, like that line right there, I already feel like I’ve opened up my wallet and I’m just, like, spending money online for some reason. I don’t even know why I’m building it up so much. I’m sure it’s going to be a disappointment. But again, wait for the 2011 Winnie the Pooh for that sort of thing. It’s drowning in that kind of stuff.

I don’t know if they say it’s about thinking dirty thoughts, but about, like, weird NLP wordplay. That’s like, the entire script almost. And considering where we’ve already been with the Pooh movies, it should be interesting. A couple other notes on Dory and why this became, like, its own little story, but so some of the reasons why Dory is apparently, like, legit neurodivergent and is used as, like, a neurodivergent mascot in some cases. But despite her having what’s likely a trauma related issue with her short term memory, she processes information very quickly. So she’s not stupid and she’s not slow.

She’s very fast and physically fast. So she’s in. She’s in good physical health, right? Right. She’s highly intelligent because after she’s able to acquire information quickly, she can put two and two together. Uh, that. It’s almost like Marlon is constantly questioning whether or not she understands danger. But every decision that she makes kind of proves that she was on the right path. She wanted to go through the trench and not over it, which would avoid the jellyfish when she goes up to the whale, even though they don’t realize the scale, uh, that ultimately ends up being what helps them get to Nemo.

So she’s right pretty much all the time, and she’s incredibly self aware. And I guess one of the things that people are saying is, like, heartbreakingly true about her as a neurodivergent is that she’s constantly apologizing to everyone because she’s self aware that she has this bad memory issue. And even though she forgets everything, she doesn’t forget about this weird deficiency that she’s got a. So the second she meets someone, she just immediately starts apologizing for this thing that she knows is wrong with her. So I guess all those things combine, specifically showing that, like, she’s smart, she’s self aware, she’s quick thinking, she’s not an idiot, but she kind of gets treated like an idiot, especially by Marlon.

Anyone else? Because of this short term memory issue. Yeah, I mean, there’s kind of like a whole. If you want to be more positive on the character, it’s like, oh, she’s got kind of a Zen power of now thing going on. Yeah, but it’s Ellen DeGeneres, so let’s not get too positive. No, I’m talking about the character more. Although, you know what? I should just come out and say, this is. This is the end of me knowing much about Ellen. I don’t watch talk shows, so I. Like I said, in the nineties, I saw the first season of her sitcom.

I saw this. And that’s basically an energy adventure. Of course, I was on the energy adventure, which is the bizarre past epcot attraction. But other than that, I just hate her. Yeah. Yeah. She seems to be horrible to her workers, blah, blah. I haven’t seen her right around after this. Or maybe it was after finding Dory came out, but it was exposed that she was running a live show on the dark web and just consuming children whole just for the fun of it. Ah, okay. Yeah, yeah. That doesn’t look. I believe all three of them are doing this.

Yeah, it doesn’t look on your resume. What’d you do? What’d you do before you wanted to work at McDonald’s? I was. I was eating children whole on the dark web. Oh, what the hell is McDonald’s? You’re hired. Also, admit, maybe you can jog my memory, but I think this might be the first. It doesn’t sound right because we’ve seen so many, but this might be the first proper initiation into a secret society that we see depicted in an animated Disney movie. Yeah. Okay, now you’re making me think Ghibli definitely has some stuff like that into the magical world.

Sword and the stone is a little bit like that, but that’s kind of almost like unwitting. Like they don’t realize they’re being initiated in this one. He literally is like, we’re going to meet at midnight. We’re going to put you through these oaths. He has to repeat the things that they say. He has to prove himself by going through the. With the ring of fire, which is just like the bubbles that are coming out of the little volcano. And then he basically tells him, like, you’re one of us now. And he’s like, well, like, he calls him brother at a certain point.

And they might say brotherhood. So it’s very much like a fraternal secret society that Nemo gets initiated into. I don’t remember if it happened in the movie, but. Recess. I could see that happening in the tv show somewhere since they were kind of, like, doing that, but yeah, I don’t. Maybe there’s an episode where they include someone new into their. Their stuff, but you’re talking movies as well, and I don’t. Unless you can think of another one, I guess this makes Nemo the first animated Disney protagonist that is initiated into a secret society on film. Did the rescuers do anything like that when he joins the Un mouse squad or whatever it is that would have been.

I don’t think that counts. No, un doesn’t count. I’m just trying to. Yeah, they’re not well, but this was a secret part of the uN. This was a mouse squad. But no, I’m just stretching my brain trying to figure because now that we’re on episode like 60 whatever, I’m like, that sounds like a challenge that I’m trying to take up for now. But, yeah, I can’t think of any that were overtly about joining a secret club in the middle of the night. Yeah, all the Centaurs and Fantasia might have been up to something like that. I don’t know.

But I’m stretching the taffy here for sure. Just trying to figure something that works. So a few other rapid fire, just like, random observations. But if this movie were Disney programming, if you take the premise that every Disney movie is essentially trying to program your kids or do something nefarious. Here are the bullet points that give a little bit of credence to that one is this whole singularity of Nemo and painting the viewer, a young kid that’s watching this because they’re going to relate to the protagonist of, like, how special you are. You’re basically an indigo child.

You survived 399 of your siblings all being decimated, and just by coincidence, you, the one person that survives, is also the only one that had your own name. Everyone else was named marlon Junior. Right? And everyone else was. I can’t remember what the other name was for the fish. It was, like, him or. Or his wife’s name. And then this one was called Nemo, and Nemo ends up being the one that survives. So this already kind of gives you, as a viewer almost like, a savior complex mixed with, like, the survivorship not. Not survivorship bias, but what is it? Guilt.

Like survivor’s guilt. So Nemo kind of isn’t embodied by both being an indigo child and having survivor’s guilt, which is kind of a heavy sort of list of characteristics to have as the protagonist coming out. By the end of the movie, he’s probably made 20,000 leagues under a sea himself. I imagine the overprotectiveness of marlon could either be, like I mentioned before, his, like, post traumatic stress disorder, or if he’s the handler of a mind control victim or someone going through the process, that also explains that overprotective nature, because now it’s like, you can’t let the subject escape from the asylum and let anyone else know what’s going on.

So that explains part of Marlon’s role in this maybe, too, that we just assume that he’s his dad just because, what, they look the same, I guess. Fair point. But there’s probably other clownfish out there, right? Are you saying coral was. Was. Was running with other clownfish behind his back? Or. Or Coral and Marlon were just in charge of procuring all of the kids that go through. Right. That they’re in charge of weeding out who actually is the indigo child. So maybe Coral knew, like, she inherently knew that that one’s going to be the special one.

That’s our monarch project. You know, sort of like teachers bet. And then Marlon, he might have actually been in charge of getting rid of all the other 399 eggs. And he, from the traumatic experience, he can’t even recall this anymore because. Yeah, right. Imagine having to kill 399 of your kids just so that a Disney movie will. Will go and be successful. So that’s probably a traumatic experience for him. I was just going to throw out my one note. If you want to read into this any that Nemo has to escape through pee and poo, basically, it’s, you know, the toilet.

It’s clearly a sewer line. That’s why I mentioned, like, this is a Shawshank redemption for fish. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But we’re throwing a kid through it this time, which seems to kind of, you know, because Tim Robbins made his choice up in Maine. Another thing, too. Maybe this is just like a weird continuity thing, but there’s a note that when Nemo first tries to escape and he gets put in the plastic bag and he’s rolling and he’s running towards the window, but the window’s closed, so he just kind of bumps into it. And the dentist sees this happen, and he’s like, that would have been a nasty fall.

And I was thinking, yeah, probably would, right? Because this isn’t like a first story. Like, he’s like, way under him is this highway. So the fish would have to fall out the window onto the hot highway and then run over the highway into the water, which they all do at the end, right. All the other fish that are stuck behind. But I was just thinking, like, what would have more damage, Darla? A nine year old kid shaking a bag a couple inches up and down for like, five or 6 seconds, right. Versus falling in this bag out of a window and hitting the pavement.

It does seem like that would be fatal to all of those different fish. And the dentist kind of makes that point. Hes like, man, this fish would have died if he jumped out the window. But then it shows all the other fish jumping out the window at the end. They should have been decimated, which I think is actually 10%. I was just thinking, because you just used the word, like, 399 out of four. Decimations actually tend. I think we all use that word too strongly. That’s the english teacher coming through, probably. I guess I’m coming through most of my notes.

Well, Dory, like you said, she’s psychic driving. The address at one point there. So real time psychic driving, and it annoys Marlon. She’s actually doing you a service, dude. You’re going to remember that address now. No problem. Yeah. And I guess the movie in classic Disney fashion also ends with modern Disney fashion ends with the message of communism. And that’s that all of the fish can get away from the humans if they just all, like, basically swim in the same direction. And they work together. They kind of imply that, right, that humans would stop in a small scale.

The humans would not be able to catch fish if fish just simply work together. This entire school of fish works to snap the freaking line offer or the post that this net is connected to. It just breaks the wooden beam directly in half. Just had a sheer willpower of them not wanting to die en masse. Yeah, that one did kind of feel like a thirties soviet film a little bit, you know, and that’s, um. I don’t know, I guess we’ll start winding this down. Unless you got another big hit. I think you rapid fired a few.

I didn’t know if you finished your firing your shots. No, I mean, I’ve had a long list, but I mean, we’ve done so many of the MK ultra breakdowns and I think Piglet just fit the model way better for this one. I do think when we do finding Dory, I’ll be able to expand on it a little bit more because then we get into some of the backstory of this, like, failed MK Ultra reject. She’s basically eleven from stranger things, but without any of the cool powers. Like, she’s the one that flunked out. Got the crappy end of the stick.

Yeah. Okay, I guess we will go ahead and wind this one down then, if you want to tell folks what’s up. Because you have like 8000 projects that you’re juggling, I think. So what do we want with, what do you want to choose today? Illuminati comic.com, titaniccomic.com, satanic panic, comic.com. does bigfoot, exist.com, satanic panic game.com, moldcomic.com, conspiracycards.com. i can keep going, but I guess I’ll stop it there. Those are all really cool and completely different projects that are coming out at various times. The first big one is illuminatic comic.com, and this is based on my chick track style little mini comics.

I’ve got one on mkUltra, which is at mkultra dot comic.com. i’ve got one on the homunculus owner’s manual that I did with Juan from the one on one podcast. And now the third one in the series is going to be about the Bavarian Illuminati. And this one I’m working on with Donut. And this one’s also going to be in full color, uh, unlike any of the other pamphlets that we’ve done so far. So pretty excited about that one. Uh, most of the other ones that I had just mentioned, those are also going to be pamphlets that will be coming out in the coming months, uh, outwards into, like, 2025.

Uh, I’ve also got a few others that I haven’t even really started promoting yet, but, like, they’re ready to go. What? One of them is like a 200 page graphic novel about Lee Harvey Oswald saving JFK’s life from demonstration called Lee’s Demons. And that’s all I’ll say about that one for now. All right. On my end, I rant endlessly about various media. If you want to hub to see what’s up there on Patreon or podcastiopodcastdist.com or just search some podcasts. Podcast 1999. We just finished talking about the tv show space 1999, and we’re about to go ape seventies style.

The five old school planet ape movies, the live action series, and the animated series from the seventies. I like the newer movies fine, but I don’t know if it fits the vibe for what we’re doing. So we’ll see the Twilight Zone do that on time. Enough podcast. And I do a bunch of movies that are supposed to be really good, and a bunch of movies are supposed to be really bad on films and filth. I don’t know why Spice world was on the bad list. That that was wrong. Spice world, it has 3.4 on IMDb. That’s a good movie.

I’m gonna put my foot down on that one. Since you mentioned apes, I just have to mention that I think beneath the planet of the apes is my favorite movie, and it’s so weird. It’s such a surreal, weird movie. It doesn’t even feel like it’s necessarily fits in the rest of the series, but it’s my favorite of I’ll be in the movie. If you just end the world, end it all. I’m not coming back. Spoiler alert. Yeah, I’ll, of course, be rewatching all of them soon, but I think I’m on the pager. Conquest is currently my favorite.

So using all the weird la futurist brutalist architecture, weird uprisings, and weird ape violence. Yeah, maybe. Okay, anyway, I’ll be talking about that and soon. And people can listen to it if they want to. When are they going to have, like, the planet of the apes school shootings make it into their universe? What is that?
