“This is a nightmare-inducing film: Fantastic Planet. When I was a kid, this used to air late at night, I think on, like, the USA Network. I’m not really sure why, but it would always seem to be playing on a Friday or Saturday night, and I would watch it and it’s so odd, so strange. The soundtrack is honestly incredible. I listen to the soundtrack often. Yeah, what a cool movie.”
