Back Row | Week 147 | Turning Red & the Christian Ban-Wagon

Apr 8, 2022
The Back Row Morning Show

About This Episode

Disney/PIXAR has tackled something new for them in their latest movie – puberty. Despite being a kids’ movie about the struggles of growing up, many Christians took the movie on surface level and called for believers to ban the movie in their homes. Is this reaction reasonable, or is this another red-cups-at-Starbucks situation? This week, Radio Matt & Mo are taking about Turning Red, the good and bad of the movie, and the Christian social media reaction.
