It's, like, three minutes into the film when some white tennis coach tells the eponymous Richard to have his girls learn basketball instead and HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL no.

Movie Moments LXXI: Little Mermaid Edition (October 2021)

Another round of fairy tales! We've gone Hans Christian Andersen for this one. Guys, "The Little Mermaid" is a pretty dang messed up story. Walking feels like knives! And then she can only stay human if she goes to stabbytown on the prince who, OF COURSE, married some perfectly normal princess instead. WTF, HCA?
Thankfully, the film versions of adolescent angst are less graphically painful.



(I should also confess that I usually springboard off of the selections by fairy tale podcast Of Slippers and Spindles, though I tend to add a few more films to round things out.)
