Robin and Cass went to the movies last week to see the new release, "Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2". Cass in particular did a lot of research amongst her friends to see what people's perspective was, and though it's been received very well by critics and audiences, our hosts aren't sold on the premise.
And "sold" might just be the operative word here. Cass and Pastor Robin both feel that this movie, not unlike the similarly-themed Emoji Movie of 2016, plays like a giant commercial for Disney and its advertising partners. As Vanellope and Ralph explore the internet and engage in modern e-commerce, a lot of messaging is packed into their chaotic adventure that might go over the heads of the adults watching- while disturbing their kids.
We know it's not a popular opinion, but we're not into this latest release from Disney. Hear why on this week's episode of Married to the Media!
