'Kubo and the Two Strings': A Boy, a Beetle, and a Snow Monkey (Stop Motion Animation) - EPISODE 121

“I have a question. If I'm Beetle and you're Monkey, why isn't he called Boy?"

We are bringing an end to our "Stop Motion Animation" round, so we had to talk about a film from one of the most prominent animation houses in the business, Laika Studios. We are checking out 2016's "Kubo and the Two Strings", the directorial debut from Travis Knight, CEO of Laika.

Joined by our very own Honey Boy, Jon from the "Life's But A Song" podcast, we talk about the extremely white voice cast, why this was Laika's lowest performing movie, and what movie we'd pair this with for an Adam Driver Drive-In Double Feature!

We also come up with our "Twins in Movies" Rushmore Mountain. Enjoy! Chapters
