Moana (2016) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Show Notes Let’s sail the open sea this week with Moana. She is the leader of her people and as the leader, sometimes you have to defy your parents and set sail into certain death. Certain that is if you don’t have the favor of the sea. Fortunately, our intrepid explorer has just that. She also has a healthy take-no-shit attitude when it comes to petulant demigods with inferiority complexes and a penchant for constantly trying to kill her. This movie has so much heart it’s literally bursting wit
Zootopia (2016) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Show Notes Nature or nurture - we delve into the age old question this week with Zootopia. Dumb bunnies, sly foxes, shrewd shrews, sloths in sports cars, a cheeto loving cheetah and so many more make up the fabric of this social commentary comedy with sight gags galore, smart writing that might go over the heads of children in the micro, but is pretty clear in the macro. And also, that bunny and that fox looooove each other. Recommendations: The End of Oak Street (In Theaters); 9 to 5 (free on P

Read excerpt
Show Notes This week we return to the sea to help our sidekick friend as she becomes the main character - it’s Finding Dory.

A little Dory went a long way here but she’s got some great support so it’s not all the same forgetting schtick. We wonder, wow, how is it that Marlin didn’t learn anything from his last foray through the sea, how is the Jewel
The Good Dinosaur (2015) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Show Notes This week we learn that sometimes even great minds go terribly terribly wrong as we watch Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur. You’ve never heard of it, well all the better for you. Dinos have become agrarians and people have become dogs and every goofy animated character sits on a background that is so beautifully rendered that it is difficult to tell it isn’t real. It’s unclear why this movie was made - but it sure was. Recommendations: The Valley of the Gwangi (Rentable); The Terror: Devil i
Inside Out (2015) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Show Notes A movie about a child with creatures in her head sure leads to a diverse conversation. This week we watched Inside Out and talk about film ROIs, the definition and classification of emotions, the dangers of toxic positivity, and what disgusts us.
