Ep. 5: Cinder by Marissa Meyer
16 september 2020 · 50 min
"She was a cyborg, and she would never go to a ball." Lees meer
Cyborgs and androids and Roombas, oh my! What happens when you replace the famous glass slipper with a robotic foot? Cinderella Month continues as Drew and Cassie discuss the first book in The Lunar Chronicles series, Cinder by Marissa Meyer. We talk about the ways in which this retelling takes the tale back to its Chinese roots while also projecting forward into the sci-fi future, the clever dynamics and parallels between this Cinderella and her prince, our favorite nods to the French version of Cinderella, and the many forms the fairy godmother takes!

In the second week of Cinderella Month, Cassie and Drew are joined by Drew's sister, Daurie, to talk about the musical adaptation of the fairy tale by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. We examine the ways this classic musical has evolved the years, from Julie Andrews's performance to Brandy Norwood's and more. Hear about the choices Cassie made as a fairy tale enthusiast when she directed the show, Daurie's experience playing Queen Constantina, and how the stepsisters traumatized Drew as a child!

"'My gift is obedience. Ella will always be obedient. Now stop crying, child.' I stopped.” Lees meer
Cassie and Drew break down the first retelling of Cinderella Month as we gush over the novel Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine and critique the infamous movie adaptation starring Anne Hathaway and Hugh Dancy. Is the novel the best Cinderella adaptation of all time? Is the movie version even a Cinderella retelling? Plus, which Shrek character does Heidi Klum parallel as Brumihlda the Giant?

Ep. 2: Intro to Cinderella
27 augustus 2020 · 42 min
They say a pair of shoes can save your life, just ask Cinderella... or Cendrillon... or Aschenputtel or Cinder-Maid or Rhodopis or Ye Xian or Tam or Cenerentola or any of the many heroines dating as far back as the first century A.D. who fit the profile of the young woman who rises above her station thanks to the loss of a piece of footwear. Drew and Cassie kick off Cinderella month by discussing the basic elements of this classic tale, comparing the differences of the two most popular versions, and revealing which book and film adaptations they will be surveying throughout the month. Also up for discussion, are magical sports more interesting than real-life sports? Lees meer
