As Thanksgiving approaches, Jackie and Amelia revisit the world of Arendelle for a discussion of the Frozen short films and sequel Frozen 2, whose themes include vocation, ancestral sin, atonement, and adapting to change. How is Elsa a Christ figure, and how is Anna like St. Peter?

This episode was recorded at BevCam in Beverly, Massachusetts, on land originally inhabited by the Naumkeag people.
