Swords and Satire by Jamie Mockel, Cassidy Williams, Jack Olander
Episode notes
This week the Satirists watched Enchanted, a movie that is somehow oddly prescient about the November 2020 political climate in the US, relating to the transfer of power, or lack thereof! (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) Is this movie actually pushing antiquated and limiting ideas about true love as a type of chosen one, and perpetuating traditional gender roles, or is it simply that Giselle is the most powerful druid in the multiverse? Listen in as the Satirists break down this movie’s themes and critique it’s lack of thematic follow through. But damn if this movie isn’t fun to watch! (We can’t get the music out of our heads, please help!)
