In this episode of Rocket Talk, Brad Beaulieu and Emmet Asher-Perrin join host Justin Landon to talk about The LEGO Movie! Is everything truly awesome in the film, as its theme would suggest?

There was no lack of fun had all around, and a lot to talk about. The trio delve into a several aspects of the film that demanded closer inspection, including:

  • How the film subverts the archetypical “Hero’s Journey,” in its leading man, Emmett
  • Whether or not the film does right by its female characters and its female audience
  • If the film’s worldview reveal toward the end was a satisfying one
  • Where The LEGO Movie falls in relation to other respected and well-received animated films for children

Of course, there will be spoilers for the plot of the film, so be warned! We hope you enjoy the episode!
