We think we know everything about mermaids based on what we see in films, but when all these films are so different, who knows what? Join me as I take a deeper dive into mermaid films past and present, exploring merfolk in romance, comedy, horror, and kids' TV specials clearly made to sell toys. This is a shellebration of all the different ways merfolk are interpreted, and the cultural and social meanings behind mermaid symbology. Ready to take the dive? Join the club!

13. A Mermaid for Christmas: Shells and Cheese
Let's close out the year with some Christmas cheer. Ancient Greek princess Daphne is cursed to be a mermaid until she can find the reincarnation of her jilted lover and prove her selflessness. Christmastime might just be the right time to do it. What similarities does this film bear to another well-known mermaid film? (You know exactly which one.) When do mermaids get meta? And most importantly, what IS the meaning of Christmas? I don't have the answer for that question, but I think I can handle the rest on this season finale of the Mermaid Movie Club. // Visit the all-new Mermaid Movie Club homepage for updates and more: http://mermaidmovieclub.tumblr.com / Follow me on Twitter and Instagram: @mermaidxandria / Like Mermaid Xandria on Facebook: tinyurl.com/xandriafb / Please rate and review on Apple Podcasts!

12. The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning: Band on the Run
In our final installment of our Little Mermaid series, let's look at the third and final Little Mermaid film (for now). Whatever happened to Ariel's mother? How does an underground night club work underwater? Why do BOTH of Ariel's parents look like her when none of her sisters do? And perhaps the most important question: CAN WE STOP THESE SEQUELS ALREADY????? That, plus I share that one time where I came face to face with Ariel herself, Jodi Benson. The best things come in threes, right? // Visit the all-new Mermaid Movie Club homepage for updates and more: http://mermaidmovieclub.tumblr.com / Follow me on Twitter and Instagram: @mermaidxandria / Like Mermaid Xandria on Facebook: tinyurl.com/xandriafb / Please rate and review on Apple Podcasts!

11. The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea: We Are All Melody
In the second installment of our Little Mermaid series, delve into the infamous direct-to-video sequel that seems to ask more questions than it answers, mostly, "Why did they make this?" "Who was this made for?" "How did they get away with such a half-baked sequel?" The answers to these questions, plus, the billionth time I try to defend a bad movie because of reasons. Mostly personal ones. // Visit the all-new Mermaid Movie Club homepage for updates and more: http://mermaidmovieclub.tumblr.com / Follow me on Twitter and Instagram: @mermaidxandria / Like Mermaid Xandria on Facebook: tinyurl.com/xandriafb / Please rate and review on Apple Podcasts!

MMC Special: Ariel, a History in Media
(Re-upped 11/15/2020 for editing purposes. Clips were out of order.) We're gearing up for our big Ariel shellebration with a bit of a primer of Ariel's past appearances in media. An evolution of Ariel, of sorts. Movies, TV, books, even manga--it's fair game. This was something I wrote for a potential YouTube video and decided to just make into a podcast and share with you! Hopefully it will tide you over until next week's episode on original Little Mermaid film. Who knows, you might learn something you never knew before and discover something worth checking out. / I mentioned a video about Walt Disney Home Video from Yesterworld, watch that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CE-C8rOeo74 // Visit the all-new Mermaid Movie Club homepage for updates and more: http://mermaidmovieclub.tumblr.com / Follow me on Twitter and Instagram: @mermaidxandria / Like Mermaid Xandria on Facebook: tinyurl.com/xandriafb / Please rate and review on Apple Podcasts!

9. Night Tide: Do You Hear the Sirens Sing?
In our second Halloween installment, travel back to the early 1960s for the moody Night Tide. Carnival mermaid Mora might be more than just a girl in a fabric mermaid tail when she's linked to the deaths of her two previous boyfriends. What might happen to the strapping young sailor she's fallen for? Who is the mysterious figure that follows her? What is the appropriate rate to charge as a professional mermaid in the early 1960s? I'll say this much: I don't have all the answers. Venture into the dark unknown in an all new Mermaid Movie Club. // Visit the all-new Mermaid Movie Club homepage for updates and more: http://mermaidmovieclub.tumblr.com / Follow me on Twitter and Instagram: @mermaidxandria / Like Mermaid Xandria on Facebook: tinyurl.com/xandriafb / Please rate and review on Apple Podcasts!
