#39 - Flow (Gints Zilbalodis and Matīss Kaža)

In this episode, we explores the deeper purpose of social media—engaging meaningfully rather than just consuming content. Hannah brings a thoughtful conversation about the animated film Flow, known for its emotionally resonant storytelling and unique portrayal of animals in a post-flood world. Together, Scottie and Hannah unpack the film's themes of loneliness, community, and grief, reflecting on how animals can mirror human vulnerability and truth. They also explore the symbolism of a whale as a force of benevolence and impermanence, and how film parallels real-life decisions—highlighted by a comparison to The Ark and the Aardvark. We expand into emotional connections, relationships, and the idea of being a "monster whale"—a person who offers love and compassion in the face of adversity. Join us for a heartfelt discussion on authenticity, presence, and the quiet power of simply showing up for others.
