Monday Dec 25, 2023
Monday Dec 25, 2023
To prevent Kristi from having another Christmas movie spiral we're wrapping up 2023 with a relaxing bonus episode where we look back at all the movies we watched in the past year. Instead of celebrating the holidays with your family how about you join us for what is basically the clip show equivalent of a podcast.
Look forward to our new season of Bad Princess Movies, starting in early 2024!

A Christmas Prince 2: The Royal Wedding (2018)
Monday Dec 11, 2023
Monday Dec 11, 2023
We're celebrating the Holiday season by returning to the Kingdom of Aldovia with the Christmas Prince 2: The Royal Wedding. What better way to get into the holiday spirit than watching a woman be talked over by anyone and everyone in her life... yeah this movie was a bit of a slog to watch. But we're committed to go through the entire Christmas Prince series, so watch it we shall! So come and join us as we discuss among other things the scary amount of power royalty in Aldovia appear to have, New York Dad's and their hot-dog loving ways, and how the human-weasel Simon still continues to be the best character this series has to offer.

Swan Princess 12: Far Longer Than Forever (2023)
Monday Nov 27, 2023
Monday Nov 27, 2023
I never thought we'd see this day, but in this episode we're taking a look at the grand finale to the Swan Princess series! Luckily for us, this finale is crammed full of everything we love about the series: baffling story choices, weird tonal shifts, and those little glimmers of "That was actually pretty good!" that always kept us coming back for more. I wish this series never had to end, but I'm at least glad it's ending on more of the same nonsense I've come to love from the Swan Princess universe. So come and join us as we discuss among other things highly-conspicuous magician disguises, flying puffin dogs and the old men they frighten, and most important of all... the final status of the Rogers/Uberta ship.

The Nutcracker and the Magic Flute (2022)
Monday Nov 13, 2023
Monday Nov 13, 2023
We're celebrating a very short Nutcracker November by taking a look at a recent adaptation of E.T.A. Hoffmann's holiday classic: Nutcracker and the Magic Flute. This adaptation doesn't have a lot to do with the classic plot of the Nutcracker, but if you've seen a half dozen Nutcracker films before like we have, that ends up being one of the movie's greatest strengths. As for the movie's other strengths?... well, you'll have to tune in to find out. So join us as we discuss among other things scheming ostrich's with no qualms about moving dead bodies, Rat Queen's and their seemingly endless supply of sleeping potions, and how you can use the Phantom of the Opera as a way to judge whether or not you want to accept a job offer.

Bluebeard / The Worn Out Dancing Shoes (Grimm’s Fairy Tale Classics, 1987)
Monday Oct 30, 2023
Monday Oct 30, 2023
Boo! We're wrapping up the Halloween season with a spooky double feature! We're taking a look at two episodes from the Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics series that felt like a good fit for Halloween: Bluebeard and The Worn Out Dancing Shoes. So come and join us as we discuss among other things murderous bearded husbands who feel morally superior, magic shoes that exist only to fill in an adaptation created plot hole, and the scariest thing of all: Our aging millenial bodies.

Blood of Beasts (2005)
Monday Oct 16, 2023
Monday Oct 16, 2023
It's the spooky season so we're doing our best to find movies with even a hint of the Halloween spirit in them, which brings us to the not-really-spooky-but-it's-better-than-nothing Blood of Beasts. Blood of Beasts is the third film we're taking a look at from Director David Lister, and it turns out third times the charm as this was the film we enjoyed the most from him. Does that mean it's an incredible film? Well no, but there are some cool bits that we'll be discussing in this episode. So come and join us as we discuss among other things odd beast design choices, Gaston-wannabes and their weird braided bangs, and what it takes to become Odin's special little guy.

SpacePOP: Princess Power (2017)
Monday Oct 02, 2023
Monday Oct 02, 2023
This week we're taking a look at SpacePOP, a strange movie from an even stranger product line that we're assuming was created to try and get a piece of the Monster High demographic-pie. Just swap out the monsters for alien Princesses and you've got a hit on your hands, right? Well, not quite, but SpacePOP sure gave it the old college try, with a line of books, clothes, toys, make-up, and of course, a movie. So come and join us as we discuss among other things the "mystery" of how SpacePOP came to be, green skinned alien dudes and their anti-climactic makeovers, and our sympathy for overworked and under appreciated animators everywhere.

The Secret of Moonacre (2008)
Monday Sep 04, 2023
Monday Sep 04, 2023
What do you get when you mix half of Klasky Csupo, a children's fantasy novel from the 1940s, and a dash of Tim Curry all together? You get the subject of this week's episode: The Secret of Moonacre. This film is one of those movies that kinda tows the line between "Good" and "Just kind of average", but it does have a special something to it that I think certain audiences would latch onto. Just maybe don't use Sir Benjamin as an example of what a healthy relationship looks like. Join us as we discuss among other things prideful prophecies, terrible uncles and the women who (Somehow) love them, and a completely unrelated tangent about a Christian puppet series that Kristi got weirdly fixated on.

The Frog Prince (Cannon Movie Tales, 1986)
Monday Aug 21, 2023
Monday Aug 21, 2023
This week we're taking yet another look at a Frog Prince adaptation, this time from the infamous Cannon Films. Primarily known for their low-budget action films, in the 1980s Cannon decided to branch out into the fairytale market with their "Cannon Movie Tales" series, of which The Frog Prince was their first entrant. Come and join us as we discuss among other things horrible older sisters and their mirror smashing ways, making your uncle king cry tears of joy, and whether or not Little Orphan Annie has anything to do with this film not getting a region 1 DVD release.
