#37 - The Polar Express | Directed by Robert Zemeckis (with Arthur’s Mom)

Tune in as Arthur’s Mom returns yet again to 2CC for a breakdown of The Polar Express, the 2004 animated Christmas movie adapted from Chris Van Allsburg’s 1985 picture book of the same name. The episode also covers morbid fan theories for TPE and other Christmas flicks, Arthur‘s surprisingly amenable attitude towards the notorious motion capture animation, and the many near-death experiences that come with riding on the Polar Express. Directed by Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump), The Polar Express stars Tom Hanks, Daryl Sabara, Josh Hutcherson (mo-cap), Nona Gaye, Chantel Valdivieso (mo-cap), Tom Hanks, Eddie Deezen, Jimmy Pinchak (mo-cap), Jimmy Bennett, Peter Scolari (mo-cap), Hayden McFarland, Tom Hanks, Michael Jeter, Leslie Zemeckis, and Steven Tyler.
