S1 E23: "Herbie: Fully Loaded" (#37) - with Katie Stebbins!
Description
Our brilliant and beloved pal Katie Stebbins joins us to deconstruct HERBIE: FULLY LOADED, a bizarre attempt to resurrect a justly forgotten old-school Disney property for a modern era, and the result has the same stupid issues its forebears did. We dive deep on the entire LOVE BUG franchise, lament how queer black woman directors are rarely allowed to fail upward like their white male brethren, dwell on how deeply unsympathetic the titular car is in the narrative, and take a look at Lindsay Lohan in basically her last moment as a teen star before plummeting into tabloid abyss. We also recommend a great SURVIVOR season for beginners, and I get to talk about how Tony Stewart killed a guy! JOIN US!
