S20: Episode 2: Mars Needs Moms

Author: Pick Six Movies April 29, 2022 Duration: 1:49:45
On our second episode of Season 20, your Pick Six Movies heroes head to mars for a truly terrible animated feature, Mars Needs Moms. We have awful children, disgusting orphans, weirdly attractive aliens, and a heapin’ helpin’ of misogyny. Not enough? There’s also a history of Berkely Breathed’s work and even more!

Ever find yourself falling down a rabbit hole after watching a film, wanting to know not just if it was good, but the whole story behind it? That’s the territory explored in Pick Six Movies. Hosts Bo Ransdell and Chad Cooper, friends who’ve spent a lifetime dissecting pop culture, structure their conversations around a simple but compelling premise: each season, they choose six films connected by a specific theme. The real joy, however, lies in the deep dive that follows. They peel back the layers on each selection, looking at the lives and careers of the people both in front of and behind the camera, piecing together the often messy and fascinating journey of how each movie came to exist. This isn’t just a quick thumbs-up or thumbs-down review. Instead, you’ll hear them get into the weeds, analyzing scenes, decisions, and impacts with the kind of detailed, sometimes rambling, passion that only comes from genuine curiosity. It’s that blend of historical context, production insight, and two friends debating whether something actually works that gives this podcast its character. You’re essentially listening in on a great, extended conversation that’s as much about the love of the discussion itself as it is about the final verdict on the films.
