Liza, Filip, and Adam get together to talk about the newest Pixar movie, Turning Red, that just released on Disney+. They discuss the movie's rather unique, for popular media, theme of an adolescent girl's first period, how Liza's kids watched the movie twice in a row, and Filip rants in Toronto's honor. The gang also briefly talk about the controversial CinemaBlend review, which has subsequently been taken down, and how it unwittingly supports the idea of "media representation matters".
