Ep. 89: Amazon's Cinderella (2021)

"I don't want a life stuck waving from a royal box any more than a life confined to a basement."
Drew and Cassie begin our return to the fairy tale of Cinderella by discussing the Amazon Prime movie from 2021 starring Camila Cabello, Idina Menzel, Billy Porter, and more. This jukebox movie musical incorporates songs like "Rhythm Nation," "Somebody to Love," and "Material Girl" while reimagining Cinderella as a young woman who dreams of designing fashion and owning a dress shop. Meanwhile, Prince Robert is struggling with his father's expectations versus his own desires, and soon the two protagonists find their ambitions entwined. We discuss jukebox musicals, the movie's similarities to other Cinderella-adjacent movies, the aggressively contemporary dialogue, the reinterpretation of Cinderella's relationship with her stepfamily, Cassie's idea on how to fix the story, and more!
