This episode was a lot of fun to record. My friends Shawn, David, and I discuss, dissect, and debate the Disney classic The Little Mermaid. We determine if Ariel is a spoiled brat who doesn't love her rich life. Is King Triton a good Father? Did Carlotta and Grimsby have a love affair going on? Also, what was up with those sisters all living at home? We review this film to see if it still holds up after so many years and also in a new segment called "A Geek Can Dream" we give our picks as to who should be casts in the live-action version coming out in the future. If you join patron, you get 30 mins of extra facts, fun, and foolery more than what the public gets to listen to. Once again, thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy this review of The Little Mermaid.
