Episode 80 - Frozen

Disney's Oscar-winning 2013 cultural sensation "Frozen," that
created ear-worm songs for annoyed parents everywhere, is already
considered a classic piece of Disney animation, rivaling the
likes of "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Lion King," and has
critics and moviegoers spewing nonsense about how its message is
progressive and fresh when it's actually regressive and spoiled.


The flimsy, sloppy, incoherent plot is as follow: When their
kingdom becomes trapped in perpetual winter, Princess Anna
(voiced by Kristen Bell) joins forces with ice salesman Kristoff
(voiced by Jonathan Groff) and his reindeer sidekick to find
Anna's sister, Snow Queen Elsa (voiced by Adele Dazeem, er, Idina
Menzel), to try and break her icy spell that she accidentally
cast on everyone. Although their journey leads them to encounters
with kidnapping trolls, an undead snowman (creepily voiced Josh
Gad), harsh conditions, and magic at every turn, Anna and
Kristoff push onward in a race to save their kingdom from
winter's cold grip.


Um, yeah. We also get a fair share of Nordic stereotypes, skitzo
characters, catchy songs that make no sense contextually to the
plot, and unearned villainous turns.


Join us as Keating talks about how Olaf haunts his dreams, we
realize Jim’s amazing ability to point out when characters look
like Ron Jeremy, and as we discuss Brad Pitt’s former plans to
create the 9/11 Memorial.
