EP 9 - Fun and Fancy Free (1947): Would You Willingly Join Jiminy Cricket for a Night Out on the Town?

Update: 2020-05-26

Description

In this episode, we discuss:

-the retconning of Jiminy Cricket as a 'conscience' without a care (despite the fact that he sees how awful the world is),

-our choices for a better host for the movie,

-the use of face-slapping as a courtship ritual in an inherently kinky bear culture,

-Jiminy Cricket crashing the worst party ever (where a little girl is seemingly held hostage by a middle-aged ventriloquist and his drunk and deeply depressed puppets),

-our differing opinions on whether or not it would be fun to hang out with Jiminy Cricket in a neutral location, and

-Disney's really clever and inventive take on the story of Jack and the Beanstalk.
