Description

This week we discuss Anastasia, Disney princesses and monarchist propaganda in kids movies, leading to a conversation about propaganda in general. Is everything political? 

We talk about the Russian revolution, the politics in Frozen 2, Marxism in A Bug’s Life and how much we fucking love Bluey.
