Barbie: The Pearl Princess
Episode 26:
This week, we watch another mermaid movie with Barbie: The Pearl Princess. What makes this movie different from the other mermaid movies? Well! We have a great menagerie of needless cruelty to fish, an amazing Old Crone character that deserves more screen time, a creepy octopus, and some crotch pearls. What more could you want?
Since our last episode, Mattel posted that they will commit money towards NAACP Youth programs and other black education programs. While we are unsure if we had any hand in this, we know that the fight is still continuing, and we encourage you to visit https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ to see how you can further help fight against racial injustice in this country. In addition to this, Henry will be performing in a charity stream for the National Bail fund on June 20th, 5pm EST, where he will be performing with the Worlds Elsewhere Theatre company in their production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

you mentioned peter lorre, my brain went !!!!!. then you mentioned corpse bride, my brain went even more !!!!!!!!!!!. and then emma brought this piping hot take that corpse bride is a gender swapped phantom of the opera.... it is a bit of a stretch, id say, as a corpse bride conoisseur..... but i can definitely see it, the relationship dynamics there. also, youre both basically right: being an old hag/old crone is The Dream.
