Fantastic Mr Fox with Joe Barton
Sam Clements is curating a fictional film festival. He'll accept almost anything, but the movie must not be longer than 90 minutes. This is the 90 Minutes Or Less Film Fest podcast.
In episode 38 Sam is joined by screenwriter Joe Barton. Joe's credits include iBoy, The Ritual and Giri/Haji - now available to watch on Netflix.
Joe has chosen Wes Anderson's 2009 stop motion animation Fantastic Mr. Fox (88 minutes). The film features voice work from George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Willem Dafoe and Jarvis Cocker.
Joe and Sam talk about the challenges of adapting a book into film, the superb voice casting, the loss of potency in the American male and a funny dog.
