PARTY PLEASER:
Shirleon joins Melvin to summarize a late-90s retelling-with-a-twist adaptation of a beloved fairytale: Snow White: A Tale of Terror! From its surprisingly nuanced characters to its downright diabolical antagonist, the two enjoy discussing the horrific ins-and-outs of this late-20th century oddity!
Topics:
- The opening tone-setter for Snow White: A Tale of Terror really sells the atmosphere of dark fantasy.
- Interestingly, the opening dynamic between Claudia, the "Evil Queen" equivalent, and Lilli, the "Snow White" equivalent, is more of Claudia seeking a good relationship with Lilli while Lilli acts consistently bratty.
- Once the movie goes grimdark, it doesn't stop topping itself with bizarre dark fantasy ideas.
- Discussing why they think classic fairytale villains, Disney or otherwise, are so compelling.
- The film is undeniably a horror film, but it's largely psychological with some horror-lite sequences.
- The "Seven Dwarves" equivalent are essentially Highwaymen, and each one has some form of physical deformity or ailment which contrasts with Claudia's unabashed vanity.
- The whole "catatonic Snow White" sequence that the fairytale is famous for starts and ends near immediately.
- The film is loaded with "show don't tell", but sometimes it's to a fault.
