ACOFAE Podcast presents: Disney's Moana
There are some movies that hit harder when you watch them as an adult and some movies that leave you speechless. Moana leaves you speechless and ugly crying. Whether it's the music, the animation, or the message that you could do it all along, this movie does something. Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they talk about why they love this movie, why they watched it in the first place, and what parts make them sob in a ball on the couch (there are more than 2).
"But this does not define you. This is not who you are. You know who you are."
There are no spoilers in this episode.

This is Jessica Marie's first experience with the world of Shadowhunters and Laura Marie did the work to make sure that she was able to navigate these admittedly, not so great first 3 books. Things were spoiled for Jessica Marie so she could focus on everything except THAT, things were explained, and then the show was watched... Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they jump into the massive world of Shadowhunters and try to remember that we were all the "pick me" character once.
