About this episode

Paul, Jason, and June break down the mermaid fantasy film The King's Daughter, a movie shot in 2014 that was shelved until 2022. LIVE from the State Theatre in Portland, Maine, the HDTGM crew discuss Pierce Brosnan's Fabio wig, the creepy father/daughter relationship, Captain Jack Boring, and how Chinese movie star Fan Bingbing is the key to answering the question, "How did this get made?" Plus, multiple audience members serenade us with a supercut of Little Mermaid second opinion songs. Renys! Renys! Renys!
