'Cooled' Take Ep. 6: "Frozen 2," 2019

Happy New Queers! How crazy it's been we've been doing this damn thing for two full years now? To start the year off with a bang or two, we're talking more "Frozen" this week, today all about the new-ish sequel to the 2013 animated smash. Our thoughts? We do keep saying we liked it, but there are lots of points to be made about Elsa's continuing gay sub-narrative, the film's maybe-too-tidy themes of reparations and mixed heritage, and how much more mature this story felt this go-around. Let us know your thoughts on "Frozen 2"!

• More on how Disney Animated Studios and the "Frozen 2" creative team worked with the Sami people in an official capacity. 
• Check out Brendon Urie & Panic's official cover of "Into the Unknown"...in the same damn key, this hoe!
• Meanwhile, it's fun to watch this music producer react to Idina's version.
• This article saying "Into the Unknown" isn't the best song in the film...hard disagree, but Vox makes a lot of comparisons to the score of "Wicked," which we didn't have time for. And mentions the bonus tracks, which are great.
