Episode 14: Anastasia - a podcast by Dax Schaffer and Sara Iyer

On this very special Russian history fueled episode of The Bluth, the Whole Bluth, and Nothing But the Bluth, come with us and our guest, Chris Bramante, on a Journey to the Past! Mostly because we recorded this episode right before quarantine so it feels like a hundred years ago. We had the pleasure of discussing Don Bluth and Gary Goldman's first venture with Fox Animation Studios, Anastasia. Do we talk about how great this movie is? Perhaps. Do we break into song? Possibly. Who can even remember? If you're listening to this In the Dark of the Night, Once Upon a December (seven months after we release it), then flip a light on why don't you? You can Learn to Do It. If we can learn to do it! You can learn to do it too!

Also, do you have a Don Bluth related story or thoughts on any of his films that you would like to share with our pod? We’ll be collecting voicemails from listeners and friends for a final episode down the line. Just call (323) 380-8103. Or, if you have some audio recording know-how and want to sound less compressed, feel free to email us a download link for a WAV audio file at TheWholeBluth@gmail.com. Or write up and email us your story instead. Whatever is most comfortable for you!
