90 Minutes Or Less Film Fest

Chicken Run with Griffin Newman

Listen on

Episode notes

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 57 Sam is joined by actor and co-host of the Blank Check Podcast, Griffin Newman. 

Griffin has chosen Aardman Animations' Chicken Run (84 minutes). Directed by Nick Park and Peter Lord, the film features the voices of Julia Sawalha, Mel Gibson, Miranda Richardson, Phil Daniels, Timothy Spall and Jane Horrocks.

Sam and Griffin discuss Aardman Animations history in Hollywood, the timeless quality of stop motion animation and why Julia Sawalha should be in the upcoming sequel.
