We start this podcast reveling in the misfortune of Diz and his experience at the DMV. We then discuss the controversy of the Little Mermaid with Halle Bailey being cast as Arielle. We talk about the complexity of Hollywood representation, the blinding power of privilege and the way in which racism continues across generations. While supporting the cast of Halle Bailey we do talk about the deeper structural inequalities with corporations like Disney that are unaddressed. We then talk about Mulan and the direction of the live action remake. We discuss the way in which corporate and capitalist metrics affect storytelling.
