Taste Test of ”Turning Red” (Episode 413.625)

On this Taste Test of The Halo Halo Podcast, Sigi samples "Turning Red" now streaming on Disney+. Domee Shi’s Toronto based  movie tells the tale of 13 year old Mei Lin, an overachieving 8th grader who is trying to balance her interests in boy bands and anime; maintaining her relationship with her parents by doing them proud and calming her new found inner, or rather outer panda. This coming of age story tackles not only the physical changes, but the emotional changes that a first generation immigrant teenager experiences.  Grab a box of Pocky Sticks, feed that Tamagotchi, and pop and lock to the tunes of 4-Town in this funny and touching romp.
