About this episode

The episode discusses the underperformance of the new live-action Moana movie and explores trending topics on social media.

Trending today, or rather not trending: the new live-action Moana movie, which is on track to lose about 100 million dollars after a less-than-stellar release. (Though Aaron’s not sure about the math: the movie cost about $250 million to make and experts say it would have to make $600 million to break even. Where does the extra $350 million come from?!) Also, Aaron and Michael Koh (filling in for Victor) try and fail to recast Maui, and Michael laments the fact that everyone is afraid of change.
