The Last Unicorn feat. Justin Nordell
b'
Joe is joined by Justin Nordell to discuss Peter S. Beagle\'s 1968 fantasy novel The Last Unicorn, as well as Rankin and Bass\' 1982 animated film, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary.
We talk about the kindertrauma of both texts, particularly the Harpy and the Red Bull characters, as well as the universality of searching for self-identity and losing yourself pretending to be something you\'re not. Plus: the "feminine" animation style, the first all-star voice cast and why Tammy Grimes\' performance as Molly Grue is so emotionally impactful.
