Episode #28 - Mulan and I'm Thinking of Ending Things

In this week's news, we discuss the debate surrounding Netflix movie Cuties. We give our thoughts on the film's controversial elements, as well the the #CancelNetflix backlash.

Then, we review Disney's live-action Mulan. We discuss the increasing influence of China in Hollywood, the "strong female protagonist", and why certain outlets reviewed it so well.

Afterwards, we give a spoiler-free pitch for Netflix's I'm Thinking of Ending Things. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but is a fascinating exploration of time and the stories we tell about ourselves. We eventually move into a spoilery section about what on earth actually happens in it!
