  • A Minecraft Movie - I can be creative
    Apr 16 2025

    In this episode, Claire and Al run through the plot of the 2025 film, A Minecraft Movie, to see what it can teach us about creativity in business.


    Al gives the film 5 stars and Claire doesn't know if it is the worst or the best film that she has ever seen. Neither know what Chicken Jockey is.


    They ponder:


    - How does Henry get away with blowing up the mascot on top of the crisp factory?

    - Why does Garrett need to fill his pockets with diamonds? Surely he can never sell them without people asking questions.

    - Does this film make a good argument to bring back the business jingle?


    But more importantly, after watching the film, can we do it?
