My jaw is still a little dropped at how poignantly HBO Max delivered on The Last of Us live action series by showing us Bill and Frank's relationship.  And let's also mention how this relates to Joel's psyche.

Scooby-Doo has decades worth of legacy fans, and they're pretty upset with the HBO Max original Velma.  And, while I love Mindy Kaling's writing in general, I can see their point - this show goes too far in a direction that is out of touch with the Mystery Gang's established IP.  

Granted, I recorded this back when Disney and Pixar had just released Coco, but I think the thoughts in this are still good.  And, unfortunately, transitioning a vlog to a podcast in a desperate attempt to expand my audience often leads to older videos being awkwardly placed.  My bad, but I love you guys for listening anyways!

I actually obtained a copy of Disney's Song of the South, and, the movie definitely aged weird.  But, let's talk about the intention of this film when it was originally released.

If you are just WAITING for Invincible season 2 to hit Amazon (come on now, Vox Machina already has a season 2 airing!), then this is the episode of The Fangirl Watches for you!  I'm guessing and predicting what will happen with Omniman next.

The Song of the Sea is such a beautifully animated movie, but I think there are darker things going on than the film directly tells us.  Let's talk about it!
