  • Elemental | Fire, Water, and Family

    Elemental | Fire, Water, and Family
    Dec 1 2025
    Diana and Suzy to unpack Pixar’s Elemental and why this bright romance about a fire girl and a water guy feels so personal. We dig into immigrant family expectations, identity, access to opportunity, and what it looks like to pick your own path. The crew trades favorite gags, cries over Wade’s “evaporation,” debates which element we’d be, and imagines what an Elemental 2 could explore. Along the way, we share real stories about work, school, and the moment someone finally tells you your dream isn’t “too expensive” to say out loud.00:00 Welcome to Disney Moms Gone Wrong, hosts and late-night vibes01:27 Why Elemental became a comfort movie at home02:56 Plot setup: Ember, Wade, Element City, and the shop inspection03:33 Big themes: love, identity, family expectations, cultural differences04:37 Belle’s perspective as a daughter of immigrants working in a family shop06:24 First watch vs rewatch: from “cheesy” to layered and moving08:17 Torn between duty and dreams: Ember’s conflict and real-life parallels12:42 “Words that felt too expensive” and finding a path into law16:14 Going back to school at 34 and redefining success18:34 Does the film model real cultural blending that works in the real world?21:27 Funniest bits: Wind Breakers basketball, “try not to cry,” and mom jokes23:59 Empathy as a superpower and why Wade lands emotionally25:00 The moms, the perfume, and classic parental intuition26:30 Crossing cultural lines in relationships and family reactions28:20 Wade nudging Ember to take risks and try new things29:05 The wisteria scene and making space for someone’s dream30:20 From a flower to real access: opportunity as a theme31:47 Which element are we?

Wade’s openness helps Ember test limits rather than shrink from them.The score sneaks up on you. Heard alone, it pulls you right back into Element City.We’d watch a sequel that explores their life outside of Element City and new kinds of diversity.“I did not expect it to hit me emotionally the way it did.”“These words were too expensive and they’re not meant for me.”“Try not to cry.”“It made me cry when Wade evaporated.”“The goal was always my son’s happiness.”“Team fire.

  • Elio | Space, Grief, and Choosing Home

    Elio | Space, Grief, and Choosing Home
    Nov 17 2025

    Sarah and Diana welcome special guest Chesney for a lively, late-night chat about Pixar’s “Elio.” We talk through the film’s setup, Aunt Olga’s standout moments, and why the movie’s heart sits in vulnerability, connection, and the choice to put family first. Along the way, we unpack the “six seven” slang phenomenon, call out favorite scenes, and debate where “Elio” lands in the modern Disney lineup.

    00:00 — Welcome back and intros: Sarah, Diana, and our guest Chesney
    03:30 — What is “six seven”? Brain-rot slang 101
    07:50 — “Leo… Elio?” Kicking off the movie talk
    09:00 — Elio’s setup: orphaned kid, Aunt Olga, and a space-obsessed heart
    11:10 — First reactions from the crew
    15:10 — Real-life parenting and why “it’s okay to be sad” matters
    16:25 — Abduction to the stars and the “leader of Earth” mix-up
    17:20 — Glaudon vs. Elio: loneliness, validation, and new friendship
    22:00 — Where the plot felt thin (grief thread, the eyepatch, the clone reveal)
    29:00 — “If you could be ‘abducted’ anywhere?” A fun detour to libraries and islands
    38:15 — Stay in space or go home? Family, identity, and the final choice
    41:00 — Casting notes and small music wins
    42:15 — Final thoughts and rewatch test

    • Vulnerability is the emotional core. Aunt Olga’s honesty gives the film its most human beat and frames Elio’s choice at the end.

    • Elio and Glaudon mirror each other. Both are craving connection, showing that you can’t outrun loneliness by changing locations.

    • Good vibes, light lift. The movie is easy to watch and safe for multitasking, but some threads (grief, the clone twist, the eyepatch) feel underdeveloped.

    • A missed opportunity for a bolder ending. Letting Aunt Olga become an official liaison alongside Elio could have set up a stronger sequel path.

    • Not a Hall of Famer, but not a flop. It lands somewhere in the middle for our panel.

    • “Hello, hello, hello and welcome… magical pixie dust coated Disney fans.”

    • “It’s okay to be sad.”

    • “So Elio gets abducted… and they think he’s the leader of the universe.”

    • “It was not a terrible movie… It was not the best movie.”

    • On “six seven”: “The term… all these kids are saying… actually means nothing.”

  • Tangled | Finding Yourself Again

    Tangled | Finding Yourself Again
    Nov 3 2025

    On this Disney Moms Gone Wrong episode, Sarah and the crew invite Riley to break down Disney’s Tangled with equal parts chaos and heart. We talk real-life logistics of 70 feet of magical hair, why Flynn Rider still works on parents as much as kids, and how the soundtrack holds up. Most of all, we dig into the film’s bigger ideas about leaving toxic environments, rediscovering identity after motherhood, and giving yourself permission to want more than survival.

    00:00 Welcome back and cold open
    04:30 Why Riley picked Tangled and what we’re hoping to revisit from it
    05:00 Quick plot recap for newcomers
    08:05 Mother Gothel’s gaslighting and the “Mother Knows Best” moment we all sing anyway
    09:10 Birthdays, lanterns, and how manipulation looks in a kids movie
    16:38 Magical hair care talk and the case for industrial-strength dry shampoo
    18:23 The Flynn Rider effect and how Disney literally designed him to be irresistible
    22:14 “At Last I See the Light” love and why Tangled’s songs still hit
    23:07 Tangled vs Frozen and why one overshadowed the other in the moment
    26:24 Who we’d take out for a night on the town, and why the answer might worry you a little
    32:25 What kids can take from Tangled about agency and leaving harmful situations
    33:27 Mom identity check in: losing yourself and getting the pieces back

    • Tangled is fun and messy, but it also gives families an easy doorway to talk about control, boundaries, and safety.

    • Mother Gothel is a clean example of manipulation that kids can recognize when we name it.

    • Flynn Rider wasn’t an accident. Disney built a character meant to charm adults and kids, and it works.

    • The soundtrack carries emotional weight that helps kids connect theme to feeling.

    • For parents, Rapunzel’s journey mirrors the work of rediscovering who you are outside of roles and routines.

    • “Let’s talk about this 70 feet of magical hair. Who’s brushing it and washing it?”

    • “That is a top Disney song. ‘At Last I See the Light,’ every time.”

    • “Disney, how do you give us a criminal we would all text back?”

    • “There’s a theme of finding yourself and leaving toxic environments.”

    • “You become what people tell you you are. Wait, that’s not mine. Let me navigate that myself.”
