  • #236 Inside Out 2
    Mar 31 2026

    Almost two years to the day after we reviewed Inside Out, we watched the sequel and found out which of our predictions came true. (Spoiler: none of the characters went on psych meds.) Highlights of our conversation include gay romance, a Michigan joke, panic attacks in children’s movies, and the hockey of it all. Enjoy!
