Moana with Lenika Cruz

Published: March 21, 2021, 4 a.m.

Griffin and David are finally doing it! They are CONSIDERING THE COCONUT! In addition to the coconut they also have an in-depth conversation about Musker and Clements\u2019 final (and best?) film together, 2016's Moana. A departure from their typical 2D animation style, and a shift from Disney\u2019s typical Princess / Prince structure, their first fully CG film delves into a Polynesian mythology AND makes everyone cry.\xa0\nThey are joined this week by Lenika Cruz (The Atlantic) and discuss heavy topics like parental relationships and leaving home, as well as topics on the lighter side such as; what is the best use of The Rock, and will we be over Lin Manuel Miranda again this coming year.\xa0\n\nJoin our Patreon for franchise commentaries and bonus episodes.\nFollow us @blankcheckpod on\xa0Instagram,\xa0Threads,\xa0Facebook\xa0and\xa0X!\nBuy some real nerdy merch.\nConnect with other Blankies on our\xa0Reddit\xa0or\xa0Discord\nFor anything else, check out\xa0BlankCheckPod.com\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
