Lindsey & Brittany review Season 1, Episode 5 of CXG: Josh and I Are Good People! They talk about how much they love Father Brah, how hard it is to allow others to have different narratives about you, altruism, gender roles, Internal Family Systems, and the nuance of what it means to be a "good person". Also, snails.

With the hecticness of the holidays and continued sleep deprivation from tiny humans, Lindsey & Brittany take a break from CXG analysis to talk about their shared favorite fairytale: Beauty & the Beast. Lindsey was able to see the live musical earlier this year, so they talk about how it compares to the classic Disney movie & generally about fairytales and love. They also consider which Disney princess Rebecca is and which Disney princes might match which of her romantic heroes.

Note: Brittany talks over Lndsey at one point, but the narrative Lindsey does not buy into is that Beauty & the Beast is about Stockholm Syndrome - they come back to this a little later!
