On this week’s show John speaks with Todd James Pierce about Larry Watkin and his history with Walt Disney as a novelist, screenwriter, and producer. They explore the 1940s to the 1960s of Watkin’s career and the common themes present throughout his risky live-action Disney projects such as Darby O’Gill, Robin Hood, and Treasure Island.
