“Let Nemo Cook” ITF Watch: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954 film)

Richard Fleischer’s adaptation of Jules Vernes’ landmark novel
was a watershed moment in film history, marking a shift in Disney
that would play out for decades to come. In episode 280, Luke
& James venture beneath the waves again to discuss Ned Land
as a troubling American ideal, Captain Nemo cooking up some
truth, the surprising message overlapping with Oppenheimer, the
history of Disney live-action adventure films, and the Hollywood
legend that was Kirk Douglas. The end by voting on which was
better: the book or the movie!
