1. Aquamarine: Playing By the Book is Overrated

For our first Mermaid Movie Club selection, we're going to talk about the 2006 film Aquamarine! This is known as a staple of teen cinema of the mid-2000s, adapted from a beloved teen novel of the same name. In this show I address the question: is accuracy everything in the world of adaptations, or is it worthwhile to take a canonical risk? Also, did Sara Paxton essentially inspire the mermaid hair trend of the 2010s? All this and more in this installment of the Mermaid Movie Club podcast!
