Feminism Ruins Everything

For the Honour of Greyskull! Today Ellis is joined by comic-writer Miranda Richardson to discuss the incredible She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. Turns out it's really challenging to critique something that does feminism so damn well! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Happy Little Accidents are the best! Mim and Ellis sit down with actor, writer, and producer Jennifer Trijo for what they thought was a quick interview about Disney Princess parody 'Disenchanted' but actually turned into an hour long talk about the importance of art in society, philosophy, and Ellis' embarrassing Glee diary. We enjoyed the talk so much that we thought we'd publish the whole thing! What a way to kick off 202! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Boys and girls of every age, wouldn't you like to hear something strange? Will this movie fail or pass?
