Episode 708 – Monsters, Inc.

Bryan RipperPodcast

On this week’s show, we’re taking an in-depth look at the 2001 hit Disney Pixar film “Monsters, Inc.” starring the voice talents of Billy Crystal and John Goodman. This light-hearted comedy about monsters who scare children in order to collect their screams to power their city Monstropolis, started out years earlier as a discussion topic over lunch between several Pixar filmmakers during the making of Toy Story. This blue sky idea went through multiple iterations before finally settling on the film we know today with James P. Sullivan and Mike Wazowski. It went on to spawn a prequel (“Monsters University”), an animated short, a Disney+ television series, several theme park attractions in Disney parks around the world, and more! Bryce Yelverton joins me for a look at Mosters, Inc!
