Based on a book by Richard C. O'Brien, Don Bluth's The Secret of NIMH (1982) is the animated tale of Mrs. Brisby (Elizabeth Hartman), the widow with several children, one of whom is very sick and can not be moved. This is a problem as the Brisby family needs to move due to the impending destruction of their home.
El Goro and Kat Ellinger join Mike to discuss this gorgeous and compelling film along with the horrible straight-to-video sequel, The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue (1998). Producer/animator Gary Goldman shares some of the secrets behind The Secret of NIMH.

We’re kicking off back to back discussions of Philip K. Dick adaptations with a look at 1990's Total Recall. Directed by Paul Verhoeven, the film spent years in turnaround until Arnold Schwarzenegger was attached and got the thing made. It's the story of a common construction worker who dreams of life on Mars. When he learns of a procedure that can implant memories of being on Mars, things get a little complicated.
