I'd planned to return to the podcast from my break on 12th March, however I'm taking the opportunity to move my podcast studio from the box room, where it's been since I moved here five years ago, to the much bigger back bedroom.
Verbal Diorama will return on 19th March to spice up your life.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish gave us multiple villains, but the biggest and baddest was Death himself. You can't defeat him, and you can only run from him for so long. Even Puss in Boots has to face his own mortality.
Who's your favourite animated villain?

"You know... I'm not a cat person. I find the very idea of nine lives absurd. And you didn't value any of them. So, why don't I do us both a favour and take this last one now?"

A bumper week for this podcast.
A bumper week for sales of Kleenex.
Clips were chosen especially to tug on the heart strings, too. I cried while I was selecting them. These movies just have that ability to make you ugly cry, and there's no shame in it.
"Yep, yep, yep!"
