The Princess Diaries 3: The Dairy Queen 3: World War 3 (with Audrey Black and Jimmy Cork)

Anne Hathaway is back, with more political power than ever. In this sequel, Queen Mia travels from Genovia back to her home country of America on a dangerous diplomatic mission.

Join Ian, Sam, Spencer, and special guest, Audrey Black (and not so special guest Jimmy Cork) as we answer the burning questions fans of the books and movies have had for years: will Mia and Michael be together? Will Michael's robot become sentient and kill us all? Will Julie Andrews rap?...Yes
