The Little Mermaid (2023) / Ep. 245

On Episode 245 of the Always the Critic Podcast, we swim fathoms below for our review of The Little Mermaid, starring Halle Bailey, Jonah Hauer-King, Melissa McCarthy, Javier Bardem, Awkwafina, Daveed Diggs, and more. 

Rico and Jess discuss the latest Disney live-action remake, talking through how perfect Halle Bailey was as Ariel, the Aquaman-esque approach to the underwater CGI, Melissa McCarthy’s Ursula and the “Poor Unfortunate Souls” number, thoughts on Jonah Hauer-King’s endearing Prince Eric, the Vanessa player who stole the show with her insane heat check, the numerous changes from the original 1989 film, including the song lyric changes, cuts, additions, and more in spoilers.
