With How to Train Your Dragon, Chris Sanders taught us about human-dragon friendship. And now, with The Wild Robot, he shows us what happens when technology becomes stranded in the wilderness: a robot named Rozz learns to have a mother’s love for a gosling named Brightbill. Paul, Arlo, and forever-guest Eric Sipple discuss how the film merges its natural and sci-fi elements, Sanders’ evolution as a filmmaker, the stunning voice performance of Lupita Nyong’o, and what the movie says about parenthood. Plus, Paul gets Born Again with Daredevil and all the celebrities are dying.   NEXT: three is the magic number in a Geek Challenge featuring John Landis’ 1986 flop Three Amigos and Robert Altman’s obscure 1977 head trip 3 Women.     BREAKDOWN 00:00:39  -  Intro / Guest 00:35:00  -  The Wild Robot 02:01:00  -  Outro / Next   MUSIC “Wild Wild Life” by Talking Heads, True Stories (1986) “Mr. Roboto” by Styx, Kilroy Was Here (1983)   GOBBLEDYCARES National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: https://suicideprevention
