Candace and Bri tackle Camila Cabello’s Cinderella in a special bonus episode, Amazon Prime’s new jukebox musical. Despite the talented people involved, nothing about the movie resonated with either of them. From anachronistic details like plastic and Singer sewing machines to a world that feels like a giant set, no one is spared the Waffles wrath. Especially James Corden. Support this podcast

With Cinderella back in the news because of Amazon Prime's upcoming adaptation, Candace, Bri, and Arezou break down what they consider the best Cinderella adaptations. Is Ella Enchanted a good movie even if it's nothing like the book? Is Ever After the best Cinderella movie ever? Which movie did Arezou have a life-size poster of? All these questions and more are answered. The only one they couldn't figure out is why the team behind "Another Cinderella Story" paired underage Selena Gomez with a much older romantic lead...
