Up (2009)
We continue our journey through IMDb’s Top 250 Movies, and this week we talk about Up! In this episode, we unpack how this colorful adventure—featuring talking dogs, a flying house, and a grumpy old man—delivers one of the most devastating openings in movie history, followed by a soaring tale of friendship, loss, and new beginnings. We also break down the film’s themes, Michael Giacchino’s tearjerking score, and how Pixar continues to bring this magic to screen. All this and so much more!
