It must be the season of the witch.

Our Rioters discuss American Born Chinese, The Little Mermaid, About My Father, and Past Lives, before chatting all about The Power with executive producer Naomi de Pear.

A mermaid exchanges her fins for legs to pursue true love on dry land…but after giving up her voice to an evil Sea Witch, she finds wooing the object of her affections difficult.

Following the structure of the live-action princess adaptations before it, The 2023 Little Mermaid mirrors the animated one but with updates that give the girl more agency and it adds a few new songs.
