AVSEPod Episode 56: Arthur - "Shelter from the Storm Parts 1 & 2"

This week, we're reviewing Arthur - not the 1981 Dudley Moore/Liza Minelli film with the catchy theme song, but rather the PBS Kids animated series that has had an astonishingly long run.

Along the way, the Aluminum Four talk child labor, fear of the wind (it's a thing!), and bears that don't look like bears as we attempt to weather the storm.
