On this week’s show, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) argue over whether or not “kink” is the right word to use when discussing a movie about a teenage mermaid. Then they discuss just went wrong with Disney’s latest live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid. Make sure to swing by for the bonus episode, in which we critique Disney’s addiction to the dollars generated by these monstrosities as creativity-killing coporate endpoints. And if you enjoyed the episode, share it with a friend!
What Went Wrong with The Little Mermaid?
I went with two 8 yr. old girls, who were super excited to see it. It made me sad to see them exit so deflated. For what it is worth, they loved Beauty & the Beast with real actors?
Crazy, stupid long for kids.
This is the first photo i have seen other than the first 8 seconds of the trailer. She looks waaaaaaay to young compared to Eric. Yikes.
