Bad Princess Movies

Princess Castle (1996)

This week we're taking a look at Princess Castle, another entrant in the Golden Films filmography. Princess Castle is one of Golden Films' original stories and it shows, with it's very strange time-travel-but-also-dimensional-travel plot that'll leave you scratching your head as to what was intentional and what was just bad storytelling. Join us as we discuss the murder of sentient objects, villains adopting babies, and unnecessarily voluptuous bird friends. 

Twitches (2005)

To celebrate Halloween we're taking a look at Twitches, a Disney Channel Made-for-TV movie starring real-life twin sisters Tia and Tamera Mowry. Join us as we discuss uncles with evil plans, Canadian children's TV programming in the 90s, and the spookiest thing of all: Our aging 30+ year old bodies. 

The Legend of Atlantis (2004)

This week we're taking a look at The Legend of Atlantis, a joint-venture between Golden Films and Goodtimes Entertainment that attempts to answer that age-old question: "What if a giant red devil was the one that sunk Atlantis?".

Strange Magic (2015)

What do you get when you mix the mind of George Lucas with a bit of pixie dust? You get Strange Magic, a 2015 box office bomb that failed to deliver on Lucas' desire to create a "Star Wars for 12-year-old girls". Join us as we discuss juke box musicals, love potions, and Kristi's newfound love of tater tots. 

Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs (2019)

In this episode we're looking at Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs, a film that made headlines in 2017 with a disastrous marketing campaign that body-shamed it's lead character. Would you believe the actual film has a really nice message about loving yourself and others regardless of their physical appearance? Join us as we discuss the film (as well as our inability to remember the provincial capitals of Canada). 

Content note: The topic of weight/body image comes up quite frequently in the discussion of this episode.
