Visit thawedcast.comJodi, Bridget, and Philip discuss the seminal 2007 Disney animated/live-action hybrid ’Enchanted,’ from director Kevin Lima. This film would usher in the post-Rennaissance era of the Disney Princess which saw a soft revival with ’The Princess and the Frog’ and truly exploded with CGI hits like ’Tangled’ and ’Frozen.’ Amy Adams portrays Giselle, a beautiful princess hidden away in the countryside of the kingdom of Andalasia. With a prologue lifted mostly from ’Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,’ an evil queen desperate for power refuses to allow her stepson Prince Edward’s marriage to Giselle to go through. Giselle is banished to another realm and finds herself in 2007 New York City, where she meets and befriends Patrick Dempsey’s Robert and his daughter, Morgan. Entrenched in his own busy lifestyle, Robert has no time for Giselle and her fantasies but somehow can’t help but be drawn to her. When Giselle is followed to New York by Edward and the Queen’s henchman, a plot ensues that could spell a dire fate for Giselle and everyone around her.

Jodi, Bridget, and Philip return to the world of ’Enchanted’ in its sequel 15 years in the making. Set around a decade after the original film, Giselle and Patrick have a child of their own, the infant Sofia, and Morgan is entering her senior year of high school. They move from their Manhattan apartment to the idyllic suburb of Monroeville, but Morgan (and to a lesser extent Robert) is unhappy with the change. Despite having a more-or-less amicable relationship with her teenage stepdaughter, the added friction of the move casts a gloom over the household that Giselle attempts to lift by resorting to magic. Using a wishing wand gifted to Sofia by King Edward and Queen Nancy of Andalasia, Giselle wishes for the fairytale life she was hoping Monroeville would provide, but the wand’s spell proves to be far more effective than Giselle ever would have anticipated….

Philip is joined by his sister Samara and her husband Elliott in discussing the new ’Star Wars’ series on Disney+, ’Andor’. This live-action sci-fi drama details the origin of Cassian Andor, co-protagonist of the 2016 film ’Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ about the mission to steal the Death Star plans from the evil Galactic Empire. Cassian finds himself a reluctant participant in a nascent rebellion after his talents are noticed by rebel organizer Luthen Rael. With the secret backing of key political figures like Senator Mon Mothma and the versatility of operatives like Andor, Rael seeks to unite the rebel cause against an increasingly oppressive Empire. It is a deadly game of duplicity and intrigue in which no one is safe, and anyone is liable to be sacrificed for the greater good of ridding the galaxy of its Imperial shackles. Although, perhaps opinions differ on how much of one’s humanity may be sacrificed whilst retaining hope for a brighter future.

Visit thawedcast.com Philip and Bridget discuss a variety of pop-culture topics including AI art being sold at conventions, free shipping, the gig economy, and the pressures of standardized education. The rapid movement of commerce via online and tech-based innovation has been a source of tremendous excitement since the advent of the Internet, but eventually the excitement wears off and people necessarily adapt to a more sustainable model. Sure, there are those who will try to exploit the recent advancements in things like AI and online streaming, but there are inevitable costs to these new technologies of which we can only speculate. How to improve education poses an increasing challenge as one’s mental health can easily be affected by the pressures of meeting standards, to the detriment of proper education and enrichment.
