One Track Mind with Ryan Luis Rodriguez

Ryan Luis Rodriguez

Audio commentaries are the embryonic form of podcasting, and this show looks at the art of filmmaking through the greatest of these tracks. From comedy to drama, live-action to animation, good and bad, we run the gamut of cinema in a lighthearted, hopefully enlightening fashion. It’s the only commentary-centric show that matters because it’s the only one that exists. (As far as we know.)

#007: The Incredibles

One Track Mind with Ryan Luis Rodriguez

11/15/22 • 33 min

For our seventh episode, it's Brad Bird's 2004 animated Pixar masterpiece "The Incredibles" as told by Bird and producer John Walker!
How hard is it to make something so perfect? Why did it take until 2004 to simulate squash-and-stretch in the CG realm? Is recording commentaries before a theatrical release tempting fate? Should your wonky yet affable host ever make another episode without any clips?
For the answers to these questions and more, press play now!
Ryan's Recommendations: "Trolls World Tour" (2020), "Pom Poko" (1994), and "The Shadow" (1994)

This is how we win.
