228 | Frozen 2

After taking the magnifying glass to Disney's impressively lucrative Zootopia 2, the gang continues joyriding the sequel train to talk about Frozen 2, another movie that made a cool 1.5 Billy B's but perhaps doesn't hold under our impressively scrutinizing gaze. Indeed, there seem to have been some...disconnects...that occurred as this film was being written; the plot beats seem recycled and haphazardly stitched together, the characters range from being completely shafted (Kristoff) to having negative character growth (honestly both Anna and Elsa), the magic system is nonsensical, and perhaps worst of all, the gang can't even agree whether the stranded Arendellians and Nortuldrans are actually fighting! The gang actually spends, like, half this episode's runtime discussing this completely innocuous scene because Iris can't seem to understand that Sterling K. Brown lowering his guard isn't an indication that these two groups haven't been actively in conflict for 36 years jfc. I'm done writing this blurb honestly this movie's far in the rear view for me, but I hope you get a kick out of this one. Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language, Marcus accidentally calling Kristoff Hans like 10 times during his favorite scene.
