Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #492: Both Is Good

In this episode, we take a detour down the golden, chaotic path of The Road to El Dorado. Once considered a box office disappointment, this DreamWorks animated adventure has since earned cult classic status. We explore the film’s witty characters, iconic soundtrack, chaotic energy, and how it found a second life with fans years after its release. Plus, lots of “both is good” energy.
