Elio

Refill your glorp and set your translator to podcast, because
Derek and Doug are talking about Pixar’s brand new intergalactic
adventure featuring a kid who dreams of being abducted by aliens
(relatable). We talk all about yet another stunning Pixar world
in the Communiverse, how we see ourselves reflected in Elio’s and
Glordon’s respective queer journeys, and the best ways to name
aliens in a scifi story. Plus, we watch the original teaser
trailer before discussing the movie this almost was and the
extensive reworking needed to create the movie we actually got.
