AFTERSHOW: Tolkien, Lewis, Chesterton, and Walt Disney

Welcome to the Aftershow! A fresh new episode one week early! Here's the thing. We usually sit around and talk movies and culture long after the recorder has been shut down. This time, we decided to let the recorder roll and provide bonus content for the podcast. 

This time, our conversation explored Lewis and Tolkien's thoughts about Walt Disney and his classic animated feature "Snow White." You probably won't be surprised to know that Lewis and Tolkien didn't like it. However, you might be surprised at what G.K. Chesterton had to say about it.

"But wait!" you shout at your phone's screen. "Chesterton wasn't even alive when Snow White was released!" You are correct! Let me first assure you that we have no evil necromancy happening today. Rather, we consult his immortal words in his short essay called, "A Defense of Penny Dreadfuls" to imagine what he might have had to say to Lewis and Tolkien as they walked out of the theater.
