Pinocchio

Episode Summary


Erin and Rachel offer a less favorable take on Disney’s Pinocchio
(1940) than the 100% Rotten Tomato rating of this film might
suggest. They discuss the historical context of WWII in which the
film was released and consider how this relates to the film’s
themes about morality and family relationships.
