Pints and Princesses

As we head into our final episode on Aladdin, a final Hopsecutioner is poured. We enjoy the fireworks between Aladdin and Jasmine as they discover a whole new world, only to have a perfect night ruined by corrupt guards who are clearly loyal to Jafar and not the sultan. This sets Aladdin up for a triumph over Jafar, but his fear and uncertainty leave the door open for Jafar to make one last grab for the lamp. In the final conflict, Aladdin has a chance to show his true virtue while Jafar's prison of envy suddenly becomes starkly real. And of course, a few lovely tangents on whales, submarines, and wishes. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pints-and-princesses/message

Sipping and crunching, we begin with a discussion of the historic background of the tale and some interesting notes about the production of the animated film. We begin to explore the film's beauty and strengths, transitioning to a Sauvignon Blanc (which is, in fact, a type of green grape distinct from the Cabernet Sauvignon) from the Loire Valley of France as we muse on Belle's impressive poise as she navigates Gaston's pig-headed proposal. This episode concludes with Belle yearning for adventure in the great wide somewhere, just as Phillipe returns, but without Maurice... --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pints-and-princesses/message
