NOW PLAYING: THE IRON GIANT | The Drive-In Movie Podcast (Ep. 13)

Originally a Patreon exclusive — this episode is now available to everyone! 🎉

In this retro-fueled edition of The Drive-In Movie Podcast, hosts Berkan Dincer (Big Screen Berkan) and Michael Lee revisit the 1999 animated classic The Iron Giant, directed by Brad Bird.

THE IRON GIANT (1999)

• Directed by Brad Bird (The Incredibles)
• Starring:
  Vin Diesel as The Iron Giant,
  Eli Marienthal as Hogarth,
  Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick Jr., and Christopher McDonald

This beautifully animated tale about a boy and a misunderstood robot still hits as hard today as it did decades ago — and Berkan & Michael break down why.

Also in this episode:

• Berkan reveals that he’s already seen SUPERMAN (2025)
• The duo debates: Which upcoming superhero film will dominate the box office — Superman or Fantastic Four?
• Michael quizzes Berkan on movie release dates
• They play the "Initial Game" — where you have to guess the movie title from just its initials (and yes, it gets competitive)

A perfect blend of nostalgia, movie knowledge, and chaotic fun.
