Pixar, What Happened Miss Simone?, and Her Story

In this episode of Everything Justin and Keith discuss the legitimacy of the Pixar kids' movie, and whether or not Wall E is a cynical take on the future. Keith explores another, potetially misrepresented, musical icon with the Netflix documentary What Happened, Miss Simone?. He also talks about the tonally confused documentary Point and Shoot and the confusingly marketed comedy Balls Out. Justin talks about his brief time spent with the iOS game Her Story, while Keith shares his feelings on Gone Home, having finished playing the game. He also talks about the anime inspired RPG Valkyria Chronicles. The two close the show by discussing Leon Bridges, Vince Staples, and the scope of music, where Justin probably says a lot of things he will later on regret (I'm typing this before having edited the episode, I'd put the odds at 90/10 in favor of regret). Justin recommends Donna Stevens' photo set Idiot Box.
