Way Too Seriously is a weekly podcast in which Jan and Paul Moffett talk about the implicit biases, the assumptions, and the thematic implications of kids’ movies with exactly the appropriate level of seriousness.
On this episode of WTS we’re talking about Mary Poppins Returns. We touch on racist stereotypes, economic irresponsibility, and whether Mary Poppins is actually good at the job on her business card.
