#74 - Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs | Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (with Larry Fried of My Favorite Movie is…)

Tune in as Larry Fried (My Favorite Movie is…) hangs out with Arthur for a deep dive into Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, the 2009 animated movie that was loosely adapted from Judi and Ron Barrett’s 1978 children’s book of the same name. A few of the topics that the hosts chat about include subverting the Manic Pixie Dream Girl stereotype, animating scrumptious-looking food, praising the cast’s top-notch vocal performances, and dreaming of using the FLDSMDFR to solve world hunger. Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (21 Jump Street), Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs stars Bill Hader, Anna Faris, James Caan, Andy Samberg, Bruce Campbell, Mr. T, Bobb’e J. Thompson, Benjamin Bratt, Neil Patrick Harris, Al Roker, Will Forte, and Lauren Graham.
