352: Argentina Abortion Rights, Saudi Arabia Jails Activists, Disney’s First Gay Role

Bryan and Erin sit down this week to tackle everything from the rise of abortion rights in Argentina to Saudi Arabia’s extreme treatment of female activists and how that ties into its very public feud with Canada. Plus, The Academy’s new category, and Disney’s first ever gay role - and why that fact is a lot less impressive than it should be.  And make sure to check out Deeper Shade of Shade on Stitcher Premium, where Bryan and Erin interview their favorite friends of the show.
