The Red Turtle

What does a person need to be happy? To answer this, the guys discuss the first animated film of the podcast, Michael Dudok de Wit's The Red Turtle (2016). After offering some allegorical readings of the film, Dan insists that they "talk turtle" and get into how the film does what Thoreau did at Walden: reduce life to its lowest terms. All of us are, in some way, on that island being taunted by that turtle. Mike then insists on talking about the title. What is there to say about a title so direct? Tune in and find out!  Please subscribe to the show wherever you get your podcasts and follow us on YouTube, Twitter and Letterboxd.
