FINDING NEMO w/ Jackie Tohn & Dr. Misty Paig-Tran Jul 10, 2018

Show notes

Picking apart a Pixar picture ain't pretty, but that's exactly what this episode is all about. Uncover the hidden truths about Finding Nemo with Jackie Tohn (GLOW, A Futile and Stupid Gesture) and Dr. Misty Paig-Tran (Assistant Professor of Marine Biology at Cal State Fullerton). We swim through so many dangerous fact-nemones that it'll be tough to ever watch this movie with the same innocence you once held so dear.

Tickets for our first live show (July 22 in NYC) are available now: bit.ly/badsciencelive
