August 30, 2023 EP 135 - They Are Coming For Your Children
On the first ever video episode for Latter-day Takes, Andrew Young joins the podcast to talk about his experiences at Dreamworks and how there is an open agenda by the studios (Disney, Pixar, etc.) to "social engineer" children to think a certain way. Specifically attacking families, religion, tradition, etc. Andrew gives examples which is what makes the video necessary. We are also joined by Dr. Steve Holiday, a children and media researcher at the University of Alabama who provides amazing insights based on media consumption by children that he has personally researched. Enjoy!
