Episode notes
This week, Ify, Drea and Alonso are joined by the one and only Ricky Carmona to talk about Disney’s Encanto. The animated feature is set in Colombia, a country Ricky is muy familiar with, as a frequent traveler there to visit his many relatives. Did Disney do Colombia dirty, or did they capture its spirit via the Madrigal family? Plus, everyone pays tribute to Sidney Poitier, the trailblazing pioneer who passed away last week at the age of 97.
