Episode 38: Babe

Published: June 10, 2015, noon

To chronicle director/writer George Miller's vibrant return to the big screen with Max Max: Fury Road, with special guest Chris Klimek in tow, we decided we would take a look at some of his more family friendly fare. In Babe, directed by Chris Noonan and penned by Miller, a tenacious little pig learns to herd sheep with a little help from Farmer Hoggett (James Cromwell). Critically acclaimed when it was released in 1995, Babe was even nominated for an Oscar for best picture. Does the film still charm 20 years later? More importantly, can it make a couple of dudes podcasting in a basement all weepy?
