This week on The Collider Podcast, we're talking about Pixar's new movie Luca. We talk about why the film's small scale works, how it has a surprising intimacy when compared to other Pixar films, its gay subtext, theories on why Disney decided to dump the film on Disney+, why it looks like Pixar is entering a new phase where they let young filmmakers tell more personal stories, and more. We then finish up with Recently Watched.

For those unfamiliar with the show, The Collider Podcast has been running since 2012 (back when it was called The Collision) with hosts Matt Goldberg and Adam Chitwood talking about the newest movies and major news affecting the entertainment industry. While the podcast has morphed over the years as we've bounced between different platforms and site owners, we're now happy to have the podcast on Megaphone, which means you can find The Collider Podcast wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes typically post every Monday or Tuesday with the occasional bonus episode if there's more than one topic to talk about in a given week.
