Story x Story #100: The Triple Digit Club (Turning Red)

We’re officially members of the Triple Digit Club and for the 100th episode of Story x Story, Nigel and Tazziii take a deep dive into Pixar’s Turning Red. We tackle the controversy that surrounded the film as we also examine its characters and narrative themes. Then we reflect on the last 99 episodes of the podcast to discuss our highlights from story discussions over the past three years. You’ll also hear audio from Episode 0, plus some heart warming messages from previous guests. Thank you for being on the journey with us, here’s to another 100 episodes!

Other stories we’ve been enjoying: Loch of the Dead: Frey & McGray Book 4, Joy, Silent Sea, Judas and the Black Messiah, Resort to Love.
