Under the Sea with Bad CGI: Adulting After Dark with the Little Mermaid #153

In this episode of our podcast, hosts Chris, Scott, and Nick delve into the highly anticipated live-action adaptation of "The Little Mermaid." They kick off the discussion by addressing the elephant in the room: the less-than-impressive CGI effects. The hosts share their thoughts on the questionable visual elements and how they impact the overall viewing experience.

Transitioning to a more sensitive topic, the hosts tackle the casting controversy surrounding the film. With negative criticism and accusations of improper representation, they explore whether such negativity can be perceived as racism. The team engages in a thoughtful conversation about the importance of inclusive casting choices and the responsibility of filmmakers to ensure diverse representation.

Moving on from the world of cinema, the hosts shift gears to reflect on the end of the school year. They explore the various challenges students, teachers, and parents face during this transitional period. From final exams and projects to the bittersweet emotions associated with saying goodbye, they share personal anecdotes and insights into the complexities of wrapping up an academic year.

Join Chris, Scott, and Nick as they navigate these intriguing topics, balancing critical analysis and thoughtful reflection in an engaging and informative discussion.

About the Podcast

Parents Night Out with No New Friends
Parenting is hard but laughing at it shouldn't be.
Welcome to Parents Night Out — the comedy podcast for anyone trying to survive adulthood with their sanity (mostly) intact.

Each week, Scott, Chris, Miranda, Nick, and Sarah sit down to unpack the chaos of modern life: parenting, relationships, streaming obsessions, work disasters, medical misadventures, embarrassing moments, and everything in between. What starts as a simple topic often spirals into unexpected tangents, too-honest confessions, and the kind of unfiltered conversations that only truly dysfunctional friend groups can have.

Whether they’re debating the correct way to binge a show, explaining why mailing your own stool sample should count as a traumatic life event, or navigating the wild expectations of raising kids today, this cast brings a rare blend of relatable storytelling, sharp humor, and genuine warmth.

With a chemistry built on years of friendship and a collective willingness to overshare, Parents Night Out is equal parts comforting and chaotic — an audio escape for anyone who’s ever thought, “I love my life… but wow, it is a lot.”

If you’re a millennial parent, a pop-culture addict, a tired adult, or just someone who enjoys laughing at life’s messiest moments, you’ve found your people.

New episodes weekly.
