Episode 161: Disney & the South

In this episode…

Patrice, Marleah, and Courtney drink no-lime margaritas and talk about the most boring high-controversy movie we ever did see.

Lots of southerners were raised with song of the south - it was re-released a stupid number of times for a controversial film. What do we remember, and what do we just think we remember? Marleah runs down all the myths, with a special nod to the awesome bunny with the misfortune of getting wound up in it all: brer rabbit.
