I'm not trying to tell this episode was not sponsored by shrooms in any way. I'm not telling people they need to do it to be better. But if you are, avoid Disney movies or at least Hunchback of Notre Dame - scariest shit I've ever seen in my life. And that is the lesson of this entire episode. That's the theme. That's the thing. That's it.
