The (Pumpkin) King of Stop Motion Animation (feat. Damon Bard)
Episode 193
If you don’t know Henry Selick by name, you certainly know his puppets. The Stop Motion guru behind “The Nightmare Before Christmas” (1993), “James and the Giant Peach” (1996) and “Coraline” (2009) has been capturing children’s imaginations—and perhaps lovingly scarring them, too—for 30 years.
On today’s show we’re joined by sculptor and regular Selick collaborator Damon Bard to reflect on a one-of-a-kind career. You can check out Damon’s vast and incredible body of work here.

Movie Reviews & Reappraisals
Be Reel was a movie reviewing & reappraising podcast hosted by Chance Solem-Pfeifer and Noah Ballard.
We cherished our 8-year run, talking to filmmakers like Gus Van Sant, insulting each other’s taste, and laughing to high heaven.
Chance’s new movie podcast, The Kick, continues to explore curated sub-genres and movie geekery. Noah is a frequent and beloved guest.
