The Little Mermaid (1976 and 1989) with Jessica Harvey

Are you ready dear listeners to explore the underwater tale (no pun intended) of Hans Christian Andersen's legend about a girl who doesn't fit in? This double-feature episode with Jessica Harvey takes on a Czech iteration titled Malá mořská víla from 1976 with its mesmerizing music and dreamy visuals as well as the 1989 adaptation produced by Disney. We explore the subliminal messages of this beloved fairytale with its themes of sadistic torture, patriarchal structures, and religious indoctrination. We know that you will be amused by this discussion because as Heyd stated "I'm talking to two 6 year olds about an animal movie!".

Tangents: Little Shop of Horrors, Beanie Babies, Catholicism, guilty pleasures, sex education, queer villains
