Mulan (1998) with Proles Pod

About this episode

The episode features a discussion on the animated film 'Mulan' with guests Rae and Tony from Proles Pod, focusing on its cultural implications and animation quality.

This week we are joined by Rae and Tony of the esteemed Proles Pod to discuss 1998's "Mulan," the animated one,(not that live action crap) starring Ming-Na Wen, Eddie Murphy, BD Wong, Miguel Ferrer, June Foray, James Hong, Pat Morita and George Takei. We ruin the childhood memory of this movie for everyone listening as we discuss how racist "Mulan" is relative to the rest of the Disney canon, demonstrate that Mulan herself as the original drone pilot girlboss of imperialism, debate animation fidelity, and threaten to beat up any seven year old that still thinks this is a good movie.
