Bad Princess Movies

We're commemorating the end of MerMay by taking yet another look at a Little Mermaid adaptation, this time from our old chums The Asylum. As you might've guessed The Asylum released this adaptation to cash in on the Disney Live Action Little Mermaid adaptation released that same year, though surprisingly their adaptation is animated (Maybe they didn't want to spring for the costs of getting one of those fancy silicone mermaid tails?).  Come and join us as we discuss (Among other things) bald mermaid villains with confusing motivations, a baffling plot with many a hole, and why it doesn't hurt to try things more than once.

It's April once again, and that mean it's time for our annual "April Fools" celebration with a look at a movie staring a Prince (Or in this case, a 'Prince-to-be'). We're taking a look at George and the Dragon, a movie that aims to tell the 'real' story of the legend of Saint George. Come and join us as we discuss (Among other things) skateboarding medieval monks, Princess Bride-wannabes, and dragon-proof garbage cans.

We're celebrating Bri's birthday month with a look at a movie of her choosing: Jupiter Ascending! This film is a wild ride from start to finish, and I get to act as the designated "Jupiter Ascending Sherpa" to try and help make sense of it all for Bri, who spends the majority of the summary quietly wheeze-laughing to herself. So come and join us as we discuss (Among other things) Man-Dog-Bird-Alien's and the women who love them, lengthy sci-fi world building that revolves around the consumption of people juice, and why you don't treat your cousin like a chicken.  (We're coincidentally releasing this on the Trans Day of Visibility, which we didn't realise would happen while recording or we would've mentioned it in the episode. So I'll take the opportunity now to highlight our love and appreciation for Trans people out there! We see you and we value you)

We're commemorating Valentines Day by taking a look at a romantic fantasy called "I am Dragon", a film that's perfect for all the folks out there who liked Twilight, but thought it could use more scales and fire-breathing. Come and join us as we discuss (Among other things) resourceful protagonists, weird dreams involving Santa Claus and chicken wings, and monster boyfriends and the people who love them.

We're kicking off the 2025 season of our podcast by checking off a New Year's resolution we've held for many years... that's right, we're finally taking a look at a non-Swan Princess adaptation of the Swan Lake story. Specifically, we're taking a look at Swan Lake, Toei Animation's 1981 adaptation of the classic ballet story. Come and join us as we discuss (Among other things) villains you wanna redeem, barn owls being the softest owls to pet, and whether or not this film ends with a bunch of ghosts or if Kristi just pulled that interpretation out of thin air.
