This week, Nigel and Tazziii head to the Italian Riviera as we take a deep dive into the deep blue sea for Luca (starting at 27:44) with Cosplayer Coco.

A pandemic-affected release didn't seem to impact the reception of this coming-of-age story, and we get into the reasons for its successful outing with audiences of all ages. We explore the themes of latent "otherness" beneath the surface and what they mean for the arcs of the characters as well as the real world around us. This week's storytelling tip is all about building allegory through dual narratives.

Other stories we're enjoying include: Avatar the Last Airbender (Netflix), Good Doctor, Sweet Reincarnation, I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level, Reborn as a Vending Machine I Now Wander the Dungeon, Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World, Black Clover, Call of Duty: Mobile, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Ranking of Kings, Peaky Blinders, Mea Culpa.
