Sarah and Diana welcome special guest Chesney for a lively, late-night chat about Pixar’s “Elio.” We talk through the film’s setup, Aunt Olga’s standout moments, and why the movie’s heart sits in vulnerability, connection, and the choice to put family first. Along the way, we unpack the “six seven” slang phenomenon, call out favorite scenes, and debate where “Elio” lands in the modern Disney lineup.

• Vulnerability is the emotional core. Aunt Olga’s honesty gives the film its most human beat and frames Elio’s choice at the end.

• Elio and Glaudon mirror each other. Both are craving connection, showing that you can’t outrun loneliness by changing locations.

• Good vibes, light lift. The movie is easy to watch and safe for multitasking, but some threads (grief, the clone twist, the eyepatch) feel underdeveloped.

• A missed opportunity for a bolder ending. Letting Aunt Olga become an official liaison alongside Elio could have set up a stronger sequel path.

• Not a Hall of Famer, but not a flop. It lands somewhere in the middle for our panel.

• “Hello, hello, hello and welcome… magical pixie dust coated Disney fans.”

• “It’s okay to be sad.”

• “So Elio gets abducted… and they think he’s the leader of the universe.”

• “It was not a terrible movie… It was not the best movie.”

• On “six seven”: “The term… all these kids are saying… actually means nothing.”
