DIRECTOR'S CUT: Therapist Reacts to LUCA
Silenzio Bruno!! How can you silence your doubts and fears? How can you be your authentic self?
Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright explore these topics in Pixar's Luca, and how sharing who we are brings healthier relationships and helps us find joy and growth on the other side of fear and insecurity. They talk about the themes of acceptance with family, friends, and our broader community, especially if that community includes land monsters and fish boys. And how Pixar animators are absolutely brilliant and somehow made it look like this was filmed inside an adorable Italian diorama.

I love that as Ercole is giving that rant--and it's not subtle, but as you guys say, "not subtle" doesn't always mean "bad"--we see that a lot of people are shocked, yes, but he's the one who looks disgusting. He's the true monster, because of his hate.
Really love this episode and the discussion of “reverse gatekeeping.” I always rather preferred to think of God as being very much INclusive, rather than EXclusive.
