This week we wish upon a star with two Disney versions of Pinocchio (1940 & 2022) and discuss Christian moralist scare tactics, keeping minority characters out of sight, performative apologies, and the origins of Red Lobster.

This week we speak with the animals of Doctor Dolittle (1998) and Dolittle (2020) and discuss harmful effects of children's programming, cycles of generational trauma, allowing yourself to be loved, and gay penguins.

This week we get to the choppa with Predator (1987) and its new prequel Prey (2022) and discuss allegories for queerness, the predatory nature of the American military, indigenous storytelling, and big muscle handshake memes.

This week we grab our shovels to dig up two versions of Pet Sematary (1989 & 2019) and discuss grief without community, unintentional anti-colonialism commentary, gross tropes about disabilities in horror, and how everyone needs therapy.
