We'd say we didn't know how badly we needed ParaNorman (2012) on our Spooky Tuesday Pride Month lineup until we saw it, but Sydney definitely did. With everything going on in today's ~*~political climate~*~ (and despite this movie being a decade old), the stop-motion masterpiece feels more timely than ever. It's not just that it was the first animated film to feature a canonically queer character, although it totally was, just FYI. It's also that the whole story challenges viewers to put their money where their mouth is when it comes to the central message that it's OK to be different. If you still need convincing, we'll go ahead and say this: It's cozy horror, babes. Haven't you heard that's all the rage?

Eyes Wide Shut: In a film that's apparently undoubtedly a Christmas film, we discuss the film kids' disappointment at lack of porn, the worst behavior of a plus one, and one man's need to constantly prove that he's a doctor.  

Starry Eyes: Lindsey tells the least fun fact quite possibly ever, causing Brooke to want to quit the podcast. Before that, they manage to discuss the Potato Hooters, and the weird cult like obsession of Chuck Palahniuk.
