Ep. 396: The Little Mermaid Contradiction

Wasn't The Little Mermaid that backwards and sexist story that promoted princess culture to the detriment of girls? But now that Ariel is black, it's a cause for celebration? Chris and Liza discuss how this highlights how media-driven social justice is obsessed with unfulfilled longings for popularity and attention. They also talk about the terrible movie Umma and society's mommy issues in general.
