So Here's the Thing

For our final episode of the season AND our holiday episode, we are discussing Capra's 1946 masterpiece; "It's a Wonderful Life." Specifically we will be talking about why the FBI called is 'communist propaganda' when it first came out 

Y'aaaaall Karli hadn't seen this movie so we watched it this week, and let me tell you...this movie would be regressive for 1942. Get ready for our biggest rip yet as we decimate Netflix's The Kissing Booth.CW: Discussions about Domestic Violence and physical abuse.We had a good time recording this episode, but it also got unexpectedly dark in the second half. Domestic Violence isn't a joke, and although we both think it's an important discussion to have, especially as it pertains to this teen rom-com, please take care of yourself. If engaging with the subject would hurt your mental health, meet us back in two weeks for our Christmas episode!Also, it is still National Native American Heritage Month and National Diabetes Awareness Month!

Ah yes, the film that started it all. Our seventh episode is perhaps our most beloved, because it's what gave us the idea to discuss films that were ahead of their time. If you haven't seen Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, or haven't watched it since you were eight, we humbly ask you to watch this one before you tune in.Spirit tells an unflinching story of the damage inflicted by American colonization. It covers topics that mainstream media is just barely getting to now. If you thought it was a movie for 8 year old horse girls, that's only because in 2002 the rest of the world couldn't handle it.

For our 6th episode, we discuss none other than Disney's THE JUNGLE CRUISE!! Didn't I say we'd wind up being mean to Disney? This movie is abhorrently behind it's time, it's anti-indigenous, homophobic and just plain bad. Come listen to Karli and I take an almost indulgent amount of time to explain it all in horrific detail...it'll be fun ;) Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Hello Everyone, and welcome to "Here's the Thing" with Grace and Karli! This is the show where we tell you all about what the "thing" is. This week, we are telling you the thing about governments in Disney Movies. Trouble is, it cuts off a little early, before we tallied the results (we're still figuring out time management!). In order to keep the surprise, we will give you the ratings and the movies, but WILL NOT match them...you gotta listen for that! We covered 6 film universes; Tangled, Aladdin, Bug's Life, Frozen, Princess Diaries and Moana. Out of six points, in no particular order, we got a 3.75, 1, 2.75, 1.75, 3 and 4.5. Give it a listen to have a laugh and find out! Also if you have questions/ideas for our next cast, send them to hunklegrapes@gmail.com!--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
