e416. All the Cinderellas: an Exploration of Trope and Transformation

Often when we think about pop culture we think about relatively recent things. But sometimes it’s good to think about the enduring sources. Fairytales have been popular culture for longer than anyone in history knows. So much so that we don’t even know who wrote a lot of them. On today’s episode, Monica, Mav, and Hannah are joined by returning guest Kestra Darowski to talk about Cinderella and her cultural significance from ancient fairytales to modern movie inspiration. Why do we talk about children’s romance in the same breath as sports movies? Listen and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
