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!
