Not Again!

Phew! We made it! Is this episode an hour long? Yes. But please don't blame us. Blame our innocent and adorable child for getting fussy during our previous record, forcing us to cut the second part of this series a little short. Also it's our sixth anniversary! Or it was when we recorded this. Yay!

Questions to consider for this episode: What was Elsa's long-term plan? Where did Olaf get his eyes from? Why are all these foreign diplomats deciding the fate of a country that is not their own? Will we EVER have an episode where we don't say the word "sentient"??

This episode contains a Trigger Warning for discussion of freezing temperatures and freezing to death. The warning will be issued within the audio as well.

We're back! And we have a great show for you today. Learn all about the real story of The Snow Queen, try to figure out Hans' original plan (if he had one at all), and consider what classes you would take if you were attending Arendelle University.

Also, please note that we had to tag-team this one a little bit because Ari wanted to be able to move and shake. So you'll often hear Ari in the background, and we just want you to know that one of us was with him at all times. No unsupervised babies here at Not Again! HQ.

The only question we want you to consider for this episode: How long does it take to get to the North Mountain??

It's time to start talking about Frozen! More specifically: Frozen 1. We do our best not to talk about Frozen 2. Questions to consider for this episode: Why does the king know about trolls? What's the appropriate punishment when your daughter freezes her sister's brain? IIIIIICE?

It's time to finish our discussion of Disney/Pixar's Brave! With special guest, Martyn (@IsThisMartyn)! This time we discuss the possibility that bears have an interesting origin story in the Brave universe. We also question what the intended lesson of the film was supposed to be. Other things to consider: How would you best phrase a wish if you were to randomly encounter a witch in the forest? Are you prepared for a narwhal invasion? Is it possible to sew while horseback riding? And more!

At the very top, we're going to put in a trigger warning for brief discussion of mental disability and (believe it or not) a minor spoiler warning for Parasite.

That being said, let's talk about Disney/Pixar's Brave! With special guest, Martyn (@IsThisMartyn)! This is part 1 of 2, and even splitting it into two parts didn't make it all that short. This episode is nearly an hour long, but it's absolutely worth it. Martyn offers some Scottish history, including the origins of the kilt (and the fact that kilts are different from plaids). Rebecca vents many frustrations. There is discussion of "creative differences" and how they can affect movies. And much, much more.

TRIGGER WARNING: Discussion of deceased children.

Part 2 of our analysis of My Neighbor Totoro is here! This episode comes with not one but TWO Bad Grannying Alerts! On a more serious note, one more time: TRIGGER WARNING for discussion of deceased children. Questions for this episode: Does a cat-bus have a heartbeat? When will we finally take down Big Vegetable and all their lies? Will Rebecca ever stop acting holier-than-thou when it comes to parenting?

Hi, friends! It's time to tear into My Neighbor Totoro! Unlike our last two-parter, this one will actually consist of only two parts. Gear up for some bad parenting and bad grannying alerts! Questions to consider for this episode: Why do people find Totoro cute? Is it possible for someone to have an easy journey through puberty? When is it okay to involve your children in crime? And are these two girls dead already? Tune in next week for the conclusion!

Trigger Warning: Mental Health/Disorder

We get pretty heartfelt in this, the third part of our two-part series on how autism spectrum disorder is represented in entertainment media. We discuss Scrubs, Bob's Burgers, Criminal Minds, Star Trek, The Good Place, Stranger Than Fiction, and Saban's Power Rangers. We also talk about our personal experience with receiving our son's ASD diagnosis, and how we try to be the best parents for our son. Don't like us being serious? Don't worry. We'll be back to our usual shenanigans next week.

Trigger Warning: Talk of mental health/disability

Happy New Year! Here's a fun New Year game: Every time Rebecca talks about this being the final episode in the "Let's explore ASD in entertainment" series, take a drink (of apple juice of course!). This is Part 2 of what will absolutely be a three-part series. We discuss Big Mouth, The Good Doctor, Atypical, and more. Next Week: Gilmore Girls, Criminal Minds, Power Rangers, Stranger than Fiction, and more!
