Story x Story #161: Flaming Hot Schadenfreude (Elemental)

This week, Nigel and Tazziii play with fire as they do a deep dive into Pixar's Elemental with our very own illustrator Pinali (starting at 27:14). We debate the reasons for the animation's disappointing box office performance, while giving our take on how this film stacks up to similar entries in the Pixar catalogue. We also discuss the story's portrayal of the immigrant tale and how diverse stories can connect us. This week's storytelling tip is all about the “Fun & Games” section or your story. Other stories we're enjoying include: Blue Eye Samurai, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, Sicko Shock 2 (Anime Sickos), Jobless Reincarnation, Shadow and Bones, The Marvels, Primal, Mami Wata, Invincible.
