Heimlich Maneuver

One last watch... Dimitri and Grant rewatch Lightyear with a keen on a Zerg's companion Old Sox while saying farewell to the show with a game about its history, a call in from Patrick Cotnoir, and a pop in from Lucas Brawner. What a journey, it feels like it has been 62 years. Toodles!

Like most men, the boys are finishing prematurely. They discuss their final time watching A Bug's Life, Vecna, Funko Pops, and how there is absolutely, under no circumstances a secret episode coming out in two weeks. This is the end. Shut your eyes and count to 10. Ok, bye

It's heimlich maneuver after dark, so you know what that means... MAD LIBS! The boys struggle through their 19th rewatch of A Bug's Life but there are plenty of tangents to liven things up, and did I mention Mad Libs?

Jacob Hersh (the Alaskan Landmine) returns, but the film Bug's Life does not. We discuss the classic that A Bug's Life is riffing on spanning from how Charles Bronson is Francis and three Mexican men become one Flik. What other members of the magnificent 7 are bugs life characters? Find out this episode!

Pixar is back with a new movie and the boys spend so much time not talking about it up front it's insane. They cover Angus' new website, hear a message from friend of show Patrick Cotnoir (Hey That's Me a Commentary Podcast, George Lucas Talk Show), chat the toy story 5 trailer, and of course the Arrowverse. If you give it a good 40 minutes, they do talk intelligently about the movie, I swear.

Emma Patterson returns to the show to talk Ivan guarders, Heimlich trains, hopper (and Lassator) fears on this tangent and fun filled episode of the Heimlich Maneuver!

Forget it, Jake. It's Roku city. Lucas Brawner returns to the show to put the final nail in the Bug's Life coffin. The boys try to argue in the film's favor, but do they have the energy to do it anymore? Find out in this thrilling new episode!

Put on your 3D glasses as Adam returns to the show to talk 3D, IMAX, celebrity crushes, and why Pixar lost it's mogo. If Guru Pitka was hear, Pixar might get it back, but only Grant and Dimitri are (actually, just Dimitri. Grant's on the bowl), so they don't. Enjoy the ant facts this episode!

Somehow Patrick Cotnoir (George Lucas Talk Show, Hey That's Me: A Commentary Podcast) has returned and the boys are giddy to discuss Angus, Fleaby, Robots (1998), and various other off topic tangents. As always, one of the best eps of the season, enojy!Get tickets for tonight's GLTS at dynasty typewriterGet tickets to GLTS at SF SketchfestStar Wars Reading live stream tickets

Grant is at rockbottom, Dimitri less so, but they bring in Valerie Royer (browser bonoza, guest with the boys on the shrek forever after ep of what the hell happened to them) whose favorite Pixar film is A Bug's Life to reignite their flattering love for the film. However, they do spend the majority of the time talking about other things like Wicked For Good and Glee.

Is this the Easter episode? No? Well, it should be because our messiah, Angus MacClane, director of Lightyear, is back with a brand new movie announcement! We play a game to celebrate, chat about the Toy Story 5 teaser, Dimitri tries the same candies Grant and June did many moons again, oh, and I guess they talk A Bug's Life too.

Download into the grid because the boys and Braeden Bailey (creator of the Until Dawn Doesn't Come podcast) are talking Tron despite Dimitri having seen none of the films. Does this confuse you because the episode is called bloopers? Well, don't worry we get to those too but first we have to discuss the Blue Sky classic Robots. This off the rails episode is a hoot we hope you enjoy!Listen to our episode of Braeden's show:

Patrick Skehill (What the Hell Happened to Them podcast) revisits Bug's Life for the first time in nearly 30 years as the boys feel like they have been watching the movie for nearly 30 years. Pat details the boys with details about the sit com era most of the cast comes from, Dave Foley's alimony payments, and the Chinese novels he's been reading as Grant endlessly cackles at his own jokes. I'd mention a thing Dimitri does, but we learn he can't read this ep, so I don't have to bother because this description might as well be hieroglyphs to him!

The boys must must address the elephANT in the room: Antz. Listen as they try to fight speaking about this horrid picture that tried to destroy Bug's Life with distractions such as the Mandolorian and Grogu trailer, Dr. Doom, and of course game boy advance tie in games. They say you're closer with friends who hate the same things as you, so the boys have never been more united than when they are dunking on this dung heap of a film.

The boys are broken, but first time and phenomenal guest Elise Ewing raises their spirits by highlighting her and her family's love for our thespian caterpillar and giving our hosts an opportunity to spread the gospel of the Screenslaver. Is the audio on her a little low? Yes, but doing levels is for cowards. Surf the volume like you Julia Butters in Freakier Friday catching a gnarly wave. God, I really want a Snickers

Michael Kim (voice actor and host nugget outta here podcast) returns to the show despite technical difficulties and time delays to sing the praises of Heimlich, the horrific AI video turning the cast of Bug's Life into humans, and growing up on the film's Korean dub. Despite Grant being sleepier than ever, Mike and Dimitri make this episode sing like its Saturday Night even though its Tuesday.

Dimitri and Grant managed to trick another respectable person onto the show, this time writer and podcast extraordinaire Julia Prescott. She tells Dimitri the horrors of teaching an unruly Grant, the boys about the theme park land they never got to visit, and together they celebrate the all mighty Glorden (and maybe Dan Scanlon, even though he broke 11 year old Grant's heart)

The boys (Grant and Dimitri, not that rowdy bunch led by Billy Butcher) weep for Elio getting kicked in the teeth, speak about Sanjay's Super Team with everyone's favorite friend Fleaby, and discuss the last remaining material of A Bug's Life in Disneyland on this strangely on topic episode (until they spend a third of it on Superman). Enjoy! Or don't, I'm not your mom.

The boys turn a parasocial relationship social as they meet Chi Tran (director of Visa, and bloker2002 on letterboxd) and discuss what anyone would when getting acquainted: Sydney Sweeney's bath water, A Bug's Life, and the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards. Chi tells of his observations on the film when he was four, Grant breaks some volley rules, and Dimitri nearly goes full purple on this barn burner of an ep!

Dimitri and Grant cover their eyes an open their eyes this episode as the discuss the weirdly sensual audio description version of A Bug's Life, the terror of knowing about improv through osmosis, finally decide on how episodes should end.

In an episode that was gonna cover Grant watching all the behind the scenes material, the boys decide to talk about soap with Sydney Sweeney's bath water and Shark Tale (famously not A Shark's Tale). Do they need more structure? Absolutely

The boys are back and for the first time ever the movie is good! Will that status survive after watching it upwards of 20 times over the course of the next year? You'll just have to tune in to find out, but this week they love it, Heimlich, and John Lasseter (kidding, parody, they don't like him. They only like his cars equivalent John Lassetire)

The Elio and Glordon of podcasting are back with an all new season on your favorite thespian caterpillar from A Bug's Life, but that's not what this episode is about. Instead, the boys discuss the news of Elemental mastermind Pete Sohn directing Incredibles 3, the announcement of Pixar's first 2D animated feature Gatto, and the studio's latest release Elio. Do Domee and Madeline clean up Adrien's mess? Is Grigon a good dad? And how many times will the Flink funko pop from Netflix's Spellbound be dropped? Find out on this premiere episode of the Heimlich Maneuver! Ok, bye, I love you.

The boys have successfully escaped a second prison of their own design, but they were only able to do it once again thanks to the help of Jimmy Burns. Grant's done, Dimitri's nostalgic, and Jimmy spared himself of a rewatch however the most important thing from this episode is BLOCKBUSTER ANGUS NEWS! Farewell Clod, we'll miss you and not Elemental!

Dimitri and Grant are at the end of their rope. They have no new thoughts, yet they manage to spin some webs about the clothing rules in Element City, the water people's food, and the indecisive nature of Pete Sohn. Listen to this one as you sweep up a movie theater.

We all agree Clod, the little scamp he is, is much like famed cowboy Jesse James, so Emma Patterson returns to the pod to put him down like a dog. She also joins the boys in deconstructing the elemental world, dragging wade through the mud, and reminiscing on the failed Mendler Cast. It's a great one folks, enjoy!

The boys couldn't be bothered to sit through the movie and then talk about this week, so instead they are sitting through the movie AND talking about it concurrently. This one is filled with a lot of what we'd call murder in the wind people part of town (dead air) so enjoy that, Scott Beck and Bryan Woods career discussion, and how Felicity Jones was made in a lab to get Oscar noms!

June Keller (of Grant's mom fame) joins the boys, deciding they needed some parental supervision, to give the parental point of view on Elemental, pity Clod, and try the box of candies Kelsey Mann is trying to bribe awards voters with this Oscars season. Was this a mistake? Listen and find out!

This ain't no dream productions episode, the boys are on and they are here to break down the new Elio trailer, actually talk in depth on the quite good Win or Lose, and couldn't help themselves but thoroughly breakdown their thoughts on how Disney has run all their money makers into the ground. Is this quietly their best episode? Maybe, but certainly not because of the audio quality.

Adam Borozan (Talk Dodgers To Me podcast) joins the boys on their descent into madness as they compare the film to The Brutalist, reminisce on Lightyear licensee lore, and talk about Grant's bad taste in film. Would an Elemental sequel be in anyway similar to Meet The Robinsons? Tune in and find out! Buy Braeden Bailey's new book Listen to Adam's podcast

Anastasia Keogh of being Dimitri's sister fame is back to regale us with her odyssey of how she fought to finally watch Elemental before diving into discussion of Clod's employment and if he is a player or not. How many books does Anastasia have? How many more funky pops does Grant have in comparison? Tune in to find out!

The Boys (not the Amazon prime show, but rather Clod Cast hosts Dimitri and Grant) break out the white board and break down how Elemental would translate to TT games world of Lego video games. But before they do that, Grant reads the Elemental script to give us the biggest religious and Clod revelations to date before Dimitri can try to dismiss them like the heretic he is.

Jacob Hersh (The Alaskan Landmine) hops behind the open mic, giving the boys a good laugh with his tight 5 on Elemental before they dive into his girlfriend's Clod fandom, Mr. Keogh's firish lesson, and Grant being annoying. It's a barn burner!

Dimitri throws on a beret as today he talks the French version of Elemental with Grant and special guest Rohan Kumar (Nugget Outta Here podcast). Which French celebrity takes up the role of Ember Lumen? Does French Clod has the rizz American Clod is teeming with? Can this really be called the topic of the episode? Find out on this week's Clod Cast!

Joe Gardner is on the keys this episode as the boys and returning guest Patrick Skeyhill (What The Happened To Them podcast) freeform chat about everything Elemental has to offer. Is Gale a dom? Will Clod get #metoo-ed? Would Angus respond to a random Instagram DM from Dimitri? All this and more on this week's Clod Cast!

5...4...3...2...1! HAPPY NEW YEAR...'s eve! On this New Years eve spectacular join the boys as they talk Elemental the foreign, Pixar's new at time of recording Bricktoons short films, what it would look like if Elemental had lego sets, and the debut of the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards guessing game. An overstuffed episode to get everything in before the new year!

After a month or so recording hiatus, Grant and Dimitri are back and worse at this than ever. They barely discuss Pixar's first original series Dream Productions, forgetting to highlight fun aspects they liked like teen Riley and that dog on that piece of paper which is really fun and well animated, and send Dan Scanlon to retirement with a 21 fart gun salute. Was Clod Cast going weekly in December 2024 a mistake? It's proving to be

Heeeey, brother! The boys crack open The Pixar Theory Book (read: the Super Carlin Brothers YouTube videos) to see where Elemental fall on the time line that connects all Pixar movies. Is Buzz Lightyear's actor the owner of Lightning McQueen, is Boo Abbey's mom from Turning Red, is 22 Wall-e? All these questions answered and more this mind-smoothing episode of Clod Cast! Super Carlin Bros Pixar Theory Playlist

Wade Ripple, good boyfriend or bad? That is the question being brought to the dishonorable judge Dimitri Keogh's courtroom today. Grant Keller prosecutes, special guest geologist Gabby Efird defends... or does she? Listen to find out why Dimitri is dishonorable and hear how seemlessly Grant removed the D23 episode from this one!

Grant, the moyle of the podcast, has been kicked off with guest editor Ricky Stanicky stepping in to leave this episode as close as it could be to be straight outta the womb because when maestro Andres Fierro is here, nothing should be taken out. They talk Tommy beans' score, changing each others chemistry, and return to The Mill on this uncut, barn-burner of an episode.

The Elemental cast walks the runaway today as the boys judge their outfits. Does Wade have one good shirt? Is Fern frumpy? If Clod is wearing camouflage, does that imply that there is an Element City armed forces? All these very good and normal questions and more on this week's episode.

Happy HEREoween! Patrick Cotnoir miraculously returns to deep dive into Angus MacLane's influencer era, send eBay links for Clod merch, and talk around Elemental smut. Will Grant and Dimitri be flying out to San Francisco to see the Clod father of this podcast? That's an answer only the future holds Pat's plugs links: George Lucas Talk Show at the Smodcastle Mustafar Takes Los Angeles George Lucas Talk Show Austin Film Society George Lucas Talk Show Houston George Lucas Talk Show UCB (early show) George Lucas Talk Show UCB (late show)

Welcome back to another episode of Sox Talk-- CUT! Reset! Sorry about that flub, but the CLOD CAST is back with special guest Braeden Bailey, author of Reflections Seen Within a Ruined and Reckless Heart, to pitch what bloopers we would've like to have seen for Elemental.

Like the Ripple clan did before them, the boys play the crying game. They dig up case of mistaken sexuality, collapsing DC universes, Olicity as they try to make each other weep! Do they succeed? Find out on this weeks Clod Cast!

Jimmy Burns, host of Burns and Bernie: A Burn Notice Podcast and guest of not one but two defunct Mendler Casts, joins the boys to talk all things about the Lumen family patriarch. Is he a good dad, is Cinder a MILF, will the Mendler Cast return? All this and more on this weeks Clod Cast!

AUTOBOTS, TRANSFORM AND LISTEN TO THE CLOD CAST EPISODE ON TRANSFORMERS ONE! Well, actually you are cogless bots, so you can't transform, but this episode is still worth a listen as you can hear the boys argue over the merits of Pixar's bricktoons, Dimitri beg Josh Cooley to commit seppuku, and Grant fawn over the Energon universe of comics.

Call the boys Benoit Blanc this episode the way they piece together what the old versions of Elemental must have been from the clues found in deleted scenes, Pete Sohn pouring his heart out on other pods, and reading the art book. It's a gas! (Did a cloud person write this?)

Our fashionably late pride month episode is here! We make some wind with our special guest Lutz, number 9 on the Wind Breakers, as it gets a little more turbulent than expected. Michael Kim bookends our interview with the airball icon, breaking down which race each element is and why Dimitri is funny.

The boys couldn't help themselves and talked the d23 news in an episode with special guest geologist Gabby Efird (Gabby from Alaska) that was scheduled for December, so resident moyle Ricky Stanicky pulled it out, got the boys to do some bookends, and tried his hardest to get this out while its relevant. Is it relevant? Not really, but points trying

Dimitri's heel Patrick Bocchicchio returns to discover why the boys are doing a new podcast when the last one nearly broke them and how Element City's coin based economy works. Dimitri grills Pat to see if he retained anything from watching the movie on 3.5x speed while Grant doctors Elemental's far from air(ball) tight screenplay.
