We’re taking a break with this pre-recorded episode. In October 2020, we indulged in a re-watch and discussion of the comforting, but also emotionally complex Pixar film. Charlyn, in particular, loves this movie. We hope you enjoy our (mostly Charlyn’s) appreciative acknowledgement of the many references to real-life brain anatomy, neural processes, and childhood development, and reminiscences from our childhoods relevant to Inside Out.
