Cinderella (2015) (As Uncomfortable as a Glass Slipper)

If there’s one tale that’s universally known, it’s that of Cinderella, which has stood the test of time and countless adaptations. So how is it that Cinderella (2015) completely missed the point of its own predecessor, the classic 1950 retelling? Join us for a truly garish episode in the spirit of Halloween – featuring a dystopia of hollow platitudes, outdated ideals, and the commodification of nostalgia – as we compare the 1950 and 2015 versions to pinpoint where it all went so terribly wrong.

The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (The Treason to True Love Pipeline)

Treason. Adultery. A ruffled potato sack of a wedding dress. There’s no shortage of offences in this lengthy sequel, so it may be unsurprising that it fared so much worse than its predecessor. Is it enough for sequels to revisit the same characters but with a fraction of the charm? Find out in this episode as we discuss The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement.

Barbie as the Island Princess (Monkey See, Monkey Don’t Do)

Marking the release of Barbie (2023), in this episode we wade into a jungle of lost identities, treason, class divide, and – perhaps worst of all – underdeveloped characters and nonsensical plot, all to scrutinize another classic of the franchise: Barbie as the Island Princess.

Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses (Setting the Barre Low)

Was Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses anything more than a golden opportunity to sell 12 slightly different versions of the same doll?
