This week we watched the 2017 live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast, a movie about Stockholm Syndrome and punishment...or true love and redemption, whichever you prefer. Maybe a little bit of everything? In this episode we talk about the eldritch horror that is the sentient furniture and knick-knacks, the capitalist myth of the happy and diligent servant who lives to serve, and how Disney hates mothers. We also speculate about symbolism of the curse of the rose. Listen in and wonder for yourself what is the connection between inner beauty and true love? And what even is true love anyway? (Yes, we are revisiting that question!)
