About this episode

No, it's still not the Jungle Book. Sometimes the elements do mix.  Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan, Megan, and Georgia (We're all here for once) as we head to Element City in search of a better tomorrow in the Disney Pixar animated film, Elemental and we're joined by BFF of the BFE, Juleen who picked this week's selection and talks about her feelings during our endgame.  We're haulin' glass in our 199th episode as we discuss:

  • Whether this film needed more intolerance to make the point they're making
  • If we judge this film more harshly than we should based on some sort of PIxar curve
  • We discuss which nationality's story we feel this is supposed to be suggesting
  • One of us almost don't survive the recording
  • We're joined by BFF of the BFE, Juleen, for the endgame
  • Whether or not Elemental is the Best Film Ever
