Legends Podcast #739; Aug-Heist: The Getaway - Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

This is Aug-Heist: The Getaway! This week, we're running away with Fantastic Mr. Fox, a 2009 animated film directed by Wes Anderson. The quote-unquote "Fantastic Mr. Fox" - voiced by George Clooney - and his colorful cast of animal accomplices - including the voices of Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, and Bill Murray - must escape from one perilous predicament after another when faced with the wrath of three local farmers. Anderson and co-writer Noah Baumbach adapted the beloved children's book by Roald Dahl, expanded on its plot, and created a vibrant world in stop-motion. The result was a hit, with the flick feasting on its fill at the box office and awards shows. But will it get off scot free with our fantastic foursome of fearsome hosts? Or will this fox tale wind up decorating our mantle?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.
