flubber

LOOK OUT! The Professor's newest invention is ON THE LOOSE! It's a FOOTBRAWL riot... It's a FROGMAN'S delight... It's a TEMPEST in a TEAPOT... It's the LAFF of the PARTY!.....we couldn't think of anything so we stole the tagline. It's Son of Flubber! 

A strange man invents a little green piece of goo, and we follow what that story might entail. Oscar watches flubber and then recounts it to Carl to jog his memory of this Robin Williams/Disney classic: Flubber. They also try and figure out who would watch it, but it’s a little piece of green goo, so it’s pretty obvious, everyone.

It's almost Father's Day! The TechnoRetro Dads look at some of the (scientifically minded) father figures that influenced them in movies and TV. Jay and Shua celebrate Dad-dom on Enjoy Stuff

Not all scientists are trying to reanimate the dead. Dr. Frankenstein may not have been a good father figure, but there were plenty of good influences in movies and TV. This week we remember some of the father figures we Enjoy classic movie dads. 

News

What we’re Enjoying

So much great stuff to enjoy this week! Shua can’t say enough great stuff about the Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi. Such a phenomenal story. Jay likes that too, and is also watching Stranger Things and Love, Death, and Robots. So much great stuff to catch up on and Enjoy!

Be sure to check out Jay’s articles on Retrozap.com. In the last few weeks he has covered the Kurt Russell film that started a TV franchise, Stargate; the first Trek movie with Picard as the captain, Star Trek Generations; and Godzilla vs Space Godzilla. And make sure to check out MCULocationScout.com for some Ms Marvel locations. 

Enjoy Fathers!

Did you have a positive father figure in your life? We hope so. Even though both Jay and Shua had supportive and teacherly dads, they still were influenced by other dads in movies and TV. Back in the 60s, Fred MacMurray brought his Absent Minded Professor to life when he helped the students at Medfield College achieve greatness through flubber.

For the next generation, Robin Williams did the same thing in the remake, Flubber. While neither of these scientists had children, they were good role models to young people and made sure the bad guy got what was coming to him too.

Rick Moranis played a father named Wayne Szalinski, who accidentally shrunk his kids in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. He may not be responsible when it comes to safely securing his equipment, he would do anything to protect his kids. 

Another Disney Dad that taught valuable lessons was Cornelius Robinson in Meet the Robinsons. Though there was a complex path for Lewis to get Cornelius’s advice, it was still a great message.

Doc Brown didn’t have kids of his own, but I bet he felt like he was raising young Marty McFly through all of their time traveling adventures.  In the end he had a great message that Marty could pass down to all his children that Doc probably visited too. 

And we have some honorable mention ‘dads’ too. These TV scientist help us learn the value of lighting things on fire in our kitchen along with many other lessons.

Who can you honor this week during Father’s Day? What valuable lesson, science or otherwise, did that person teach you? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Science rules!” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com

This week we are talking all about Disney's first official sequel, this is the follow up film to Absent Minded Professor.  In this we meet the fun and fantastic flubber gas.  Breaking down everything from our least favorite actors and the amazing special effects.

We watched Flubber, Disney's 1997 remake of their own 1961 movie The Absent-Minded Professor. So come on, listen to three people in their 30's slurp up Jell-O shots and try to answer questions like "Why are scientists only using their knowledge to make breakfast?" and "Do sunglasses equal personhood?" 

If you were a child in the 90s, you saw many a Robin Williams movie. And it's likely one of those movies was Flubber. It's also ASSURED that you do NOT remember the full on batshit insanity that was this film! DP Oren Soffer and Writer Becca Roth lend their voices, childhoods, and absolute shock to this episode. Beware: there's a lot of yelling.

Jim Logiudice helped shape my childhood and he had no idea the impact he had. When I was a kid, movies like the Rocketeer inspired me to want to create models and props. I remember building a Rocketeer helmet and jet pack when I was a kid. How cool is it that 27 years later I would be recording this episode with the guy who built the actual prop. We geek out about prop building and then get very real about the reality of a live in the industry. I was so encourage and inspired by Jim’s perspective on what really matters in life and in business.

In this episode we talk about:

• His projects inspired me as a kid
• Finding out people got paid to make models
• Trying to get a job instead of college
• Walking into the studio and getting hired
• Working on Flubber and Armagetton
• Deadlines and quick tunrarounds
• Being done with the industry
• Why we don’t live in LA
• When 9 to 5 becomes 5 to 9
• Vintage cars are magic
• Working on old houses
• Restoring original Disneyland props
• Building the Rocketeer Jet Pack
• Taking consistent work over exciting projects
• Why people get out of this business
• The speed of production makes it tough for people to break in
• Making Ice picks for David Blaine
• Getting burnt out
• puppets for fun

… and saving some of the joy for yourself

What's your favorite movie? Odds are somebody else hates it. So we put together a quiz about the worst reviews of the best movies, games, and TV shows!

Invasion of the Remake is returning to the Wonderful World of Disney with the comedy, family favorite The Absent Minded Professor (1961) and the remake Flubber (1997). The Absent Minded Professor stars Walt Disney legend Fred MacMurray in one of his most memorable roles alongside Nancy Olson, Keenan Wyn, Tommy Kirk, Elliott Reid and Director Robert (Old Yeller) Stevenson. With a line up like that the remake had to really step up. Bringing in legendary screenwriter John Hughes and Director Les (Blue Streak) Mayfield was a good start. But the inclusion of comedy legend Robin Williams with Marcia Gay Harden, Christopher McDonald, Ted Levine, Clancy Brown, Raymond J. Barry, and Wil Wheaton seems like a formula for success. But is it? This week we look at the chemistry of these films and see whose Flubber has the most bounce. So buckle up into your flying cars and listen to this week's episode The Absent Minded Professor versus Flubber!
