Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, several different European countries came together to make a new body horror black comedy. A fairytale retelling from the perspective of a traditional Cinderella side character, The Ugly Stepsister (2025) doesn't shy away from how gruesome those classic stories can be. This flick was also a near-winner for our quarterly Patreon poll, so we figured the best way to end Au-Guessed You Might Want Us to Continue the New Release Theme Into August would be to throw it back several centuries to the days of yore. Join us on our latest Spooky Tuesday as we talk tape worm eggs, try our hands at improv, and ponder the never-ending pressure to be young and beautiful.

A bloody Cinderella retelling from the other side of the mirror.This week, we tackle The Ugly Stepsister, Emilie Blichfeldt's satirical body-horror twist on the Grimm's Cinderella, told through the eyes of stepsister Elvira. When her widowed mom marries into a wealthier family, tragedy strikes—and the family scrambles to clean up debts. Enter the grand ball, Prince Julian, and Elvira's desperate bid to become the belle of the ball… at any cost. And by “any cost,” we mean painfully invasive nose jobs, eyelash-stitching procedures, toe amputations, and—yes—tapeworms.
On this episode, I'm giving a small horror TED talk about The Ugly Stepsister, directed by Emilie Blichfeldt in her directorial debut. This gothic body horror film is bloody, uncomfortable, grotesque and filled with some really dark humor. Beauty is skin deep and then some with this one. Spoiler free and rant filled.

Feministischer Body-Horror ist spätestens seit "Titane" und "The Substance" ein ziemlicher Trend, ebenso sind feministische Neuinterpretationen von historisch-mythologischen Stoffen wie in "Poor Things" und "Nosferatu" omnipräsent und dass wir uns nicht nur in zahllosen Disney-Remakes immer wieder an alten Märchen abarbeiten ist eh klar. Aber erzeugen diese Neuinterpretationen auch neue Bilder, oder bleiben sie in alten Körper- und Unterdrückungsbildern hängen? Das diskutiert Arabella Wintermayr in der neuen Folge zusammen mit Samuel Bereuther und Dobrila Kontic anhand von "The Ugly Stepsister", der Aschenputtel aus Sicht der bösen Stiefschwester erzählt.

Você provavelmente já ouviu falar na história da Cinderela, de seu famoso sapatinho de cristal e seu final romântico ao lado do príncipe. Mas… e se as coisas não fossem exatamente do jeito que você pensava? E se a protagonista desta narrativa fosse uma das meias-irmãs? Esse é exatamente o ponto de partida de The Ugly Stepsister, filme de estreia da cineasta Emilie Blichfeldt que vem sendo louvado como o sucessor espiritual de A Substância. Hoje nossa bancada viaja até a Noruega para conversar sobre esse lançamento de horror corporal que não apenas subverte um conto de fadas para lá de famoso como também aborda questões extremamente atuais, como a perigosa busca por perfeição e por padrões de beleza impossíveis de serem alcançados. Entre cirurgias plásticas arriscadas, bailes pomposos e um príncipe que mais parece um sapo, venha conosco enquanto analisamos um dos melhores filmes de 2025. Pegue seu sapatinho de cristal, prepare seu vestido e responda a pergunta que ninguém nunca ousou fazer antes: já pensou o quão difícil é ser irmã da Cinderela?O RdMCast é produzido e apresentado por: Gabi Larocca, Thiago Natário e Gabriel Braga.Apoie o RdM e receba recompensas exclusivas: https://apoia.se/rdmCITADOS NO PROGRAMA:The Ugly Stepsister (2025)Citações off topic:Crash: Estranhos Prazeres (1996)Grave (2016)A Maldição de Cinderela (2024)Emma.

This week we review the dark and twisted retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale in The Ugly Stepsister. Synopsis As the name suggests, The Ugly Stepsister is a retelling of the Cinderella story from the ugly stepsister's perspective. In this gritty realistic telling, it starts out with the marriage of Cinderella's father and the revelation that both sides of the marriage are expecting great wealth from each other, but are actually poor. The step mother's daughter Elvira dreams of marrying the Prince and is given a chance by being invited to his Ball. Her mother, knowing that a advantageous marriage is their only way out of poverty, plans on using her last money and her cunning to transform Elvira into a beauty. What follows is a series of visceral 19th century plastic surgeries, self inflicted illness, and a series of insults that turn Elvira into a pitiable and sympathetic protagonist. Review of The Ugly Stepsister The Ugly Stepsister is clever and a more complex retelling of the fairy tale that we all know and love. It's a more realistic exploration of the power dynamics of money, privilege, and beauty. It tells two sides of the same fairytale, the original is really about overcoming poverty and class through natural beauty and magical helpers, this telling is about how despite class and access to money, you still need to overcome beauty standards. None of the characters are particularly “good”, including Cinderella. Each has their own motivations, and Elvira is essentially a pawn in her mother's game. Max is going to argue that this isn't a horror movie, but it undeniably is. This movie at its core is a body horror movie. It explores the brutal reshaping of Elvira's body through mechanical and organic means. She will stop at nothing and sacrifice everything for her goal. I thought it was really well done. It was clever, brutal, and at times even funny. It's very similar in themes, but much more subtle than The Substance. Score 9/10

This week Brian and Steve watch an early contender for best horror of 2025 in a twisted retelling of Cinderella from Norway. Also from Poland. And somehow Romania. The Ugly Stepsister reframes the classic tale from the point of view of the villain, much like Wicked. But instead of Ariana Grande, this film is full of blood, maggots, vomit and cum. Honestly, I haven't seen Wicked so I can't say those things aren't in it. Tune in as we talk about a movie more grim than the Brothers Grimm. Plus we announce our July Showdown topic.

Ironically, upwards of 65% of the population face challenges to clothe their bodies.Why does the fashion industry ignore such a huge target market? It confounds her, but it is not the primary influence on fashion.She exclaims “style” is the distinguishing characteristic. It is not about size. It is about Style”. Style is the difference between ‘fine' and fabulous. Why the fashion industry ignores the majority in favor of a tiny minority makes no sense, but Style makes all the difference!“Style” is THE distinction” it is not about size it is about style,” she says.“Style” is the difference between just putting on clothes and ‘dressing,' the dash of spice or color, the well-chosen accessory or textural combination that makes the difference between fine and fabulous.” Clothing that fits, flatters, and enhances can be a most significant contribution to one's self-esteem and confidence.Helping others develop their own personal style is a path she began at an early age and has pursued her entire career. She is the author of "Fashion's Stepsister, A Journey to Style: A Memoir." https://gaylabentley.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org
Rachel and Matilda from the Zombie Grrlz Podcast Network join Caitlin to cover The Ugly Stepsister, an outstanding 2025 horror release from Norway. We talk about beauty standards, dance, fairy tales, and how no one wins under patriarchy. It's a great movie and a great discussion. Tangents include: physical media, a WYR and some FMKs, first movies, VHS tapes, first books, Santa Claus, horror movies with muppets, and pride horror recs.
Our main feature is The Ugly Stepsister. We're also reviewing Fear Street: Prom Queen, Meridian, Scanner Cop, Eyes of Fire, Combustible by Hunter Shea, and Europa by Greig Beck.
We go back to high school with Fear Street: Prom Queen before getting into a gnarly retelling of Cinderella with The Ugly Stepsister and then it's one last ride with Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning. Be sure to follow all of the hijinks on our Facebook page and on Instagram! Follow Mitch on Twitter and bluesky and Letterboxd.
Not trying to cancel a fairytale, but it's WILD that the bad guys in Cinderella were the "ugly stepsisters".
