Listen "87 | Aladdin and the King of Thieves"
Episode Synopsis
The height of the Disney Renaissance made the Mouse fabulously wealthy, and so alongside powerhouse films like Aladdin came many direct-to-video sequels like Aladdin 3, or Aladdin and the King of Thieves. Iris's childhood nostalgia notwithstanding, the gang is pretty whelmed by this film overall, and in this episode we discuss the hard hitting questions like: what makes a sequel worth making? Has Robin Williams' Genie simply gone too far? Are Jasmine's eyeballs okay? Does Aladdin actually make an intelligent decision, ever? Will Iris's brother Andrew read this and stew ever more angrily that we're tearing down a pillar of his childhood? Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.
