The Little Mermaid: Witches, Dads, Queers, and Fishes with Tracy Stefanucci (01/07)

Join Julie Peters, therapist, Tarot reader, and writer for a dip--sometimes shallow, sometimes deep--into the mythologies, archetypes, meanings, systems, and implications of the stories we love in movies, TV, music, books, and current events. The stories and characters we love can help us understand ourselves better especially when we're able to think about them with a little bit of a wider lens. We'll do blockbusters, old movies, bingeable TV shows from now and then, and whatever else we feel like doing.
