Ever After

Not even 30 seconds after Gustav leaves the set, I timed it.

This is going to be like Ever After.

It's like 10 minutes on the dot.

The phantom bursts in through the balcony window, which is vaguely mirror-like.

I also had to think really long and hard about this because I'm not sure.

I think it's Cinderella, but I think it's Cinderella as in Ever After with Drew Barrymore.

okay that

is such a good answer because

Like you, you've got this pension for older movies.

I didn't even think about that.

You know, when, when you, when, when I read it, the, the list and it said, I automatically thought Disney, I thought ever after was stretching it.

And I thought you, you guys would have wanted like a Disney answer.

It's like a perfectly fine movie.

I'll tell you the whimsical movie that came out that year that I am like Gaga over and was like my whole personality that year was Ever After.

Oh, yeah.

That

I enjoy it.

It's a feel-good movie for me.

But I would say in terms of 1998 movies, Ever After was like my movie that year.

I like that movie.

Then I got to check out my scour into the sixes rewatch of sometimes they come back.

again from 96 and then ever after is another one of my screeners that one is from 2025 wide release here this year ready or not to here i come jamie and i got to check that one out since she liked the first one so much and then the last one's going to be a screener as well of hyena not necessarily a horror film but dark in its tone so i don't think there's anything else i'm going to do here except doing my

monthly review

And let's do my monthly review here for August 2026.

So then, we're going to head, and before I jump into some of the other stats here, let's look at the total films.

Like I said, 40.

27 of those are horror films, technically.

11 of those are 2026 releases i did a couple crossover there's some that are actually 2025 films so that's part of it but 67.5 percent of watches horror so it's gonna be my horror films are bordello of blood mr tatawowski from 1936 chum cold storage they will kill you the spiral staircase ice cream man from 2026 children of the corn for the gathering never hike alone the ghost cup happy birthday to me the end of oak street amityville dollhouse the doll maker the ukumar a nightmare before christmas i know exactly how you die The Plague, She-Wolf of London, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, Pinocchio's Revenge, Electric Meat, Dracula the Night Around Us, Ready or Not, Touch Me, Tenebrous, It Ends, and Shock.

After that features classic horror icons like Kane Hodder and Malcolm McDowell reimagined um is reimagined in a dark fairy tale setting does anybody know anything about that

no i don't you said ever after and i immediately thought of the drew barrymore movie

yeah i guess it's gonna be some i don't know that's all i know about it it's

has kane hodder in it so in mowing i could imagine it'd be pretty good

It's a psychological demonic thriller that was recently released on Shudder.

And those are new theatrical and streaming horror.

So Ever After, Onslaught, Passenger, now on Paramount+, and then Parasomnia,

just

We're going to discuss it all.

In season one of Swoonworthy, my sister Kayla and I covered Ever After and ended up talking a bit about this movie and other Cinderella stories, but we hope you agree that this movie deserves its own dedicated episode.

I'm here with Stephanie, my dear friend and swoon-worthy co-host and collaborator, who I know adores this movie as much as I do.

Hello, Stephanie, how are you doing? Hi, I'm great.

yeah, it's, it's a great package.

The greatest Cinderella adaptation of all time.

I mean, we love Ever After that will always like be our number one, but, but I think it is, it is really great.

And yeah, these Disney live action adaptations, I think there's a lot of debate about those.

The Wedding

Singer, Ever After, Never Been Kissed, Charlie's Angels.

Like really big deal.

So all the way through Full Throttle.

But I don't know.

Maybe she just didn't feel she could pull it off.

It's kind of interesting that she ended up doing such a period piece two years after this with Ever After.

But
