If Inside Out Was Southern



Inside Out (from 2015) and the current sequel Inside Out 2 are about the emotions inside the protagonist Riley, as she learns to deal with the world as she's growing up. They are Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust, and in the new movie they are joined by Anxiety, Envy, Embarrassment, and Ennui as she hits puberty. It's a clever idea, and both movies were hits.

But emotions aren't quite the same when you live in the American South. I the event that Riley and her family were to move to Montgomery, Alabama, they would pick up some new ones. Matt Mitchell introduces us to the emotions every Southerner must carry around Their conversation is about that most crucial of all Southern subjects- where to go to eat.
