Episode 97: Splash (1984)

Happy Mermay, friends! For absolutely NO reason at all we've decided to find love under the sea with Splash (1984) directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks, Daryl Hannah, Eugene Levy, and John Candy. In this episode, we look at Disney's dark ages (aka the 1980s) and the Born Sexy Yesterday trope, marvel at Splash's practical effects, and Britney reveals her love and knowledge of mermaid culture. Our recommendations: Aquamarine (2006), H20 (2006-2010) Born Sexy Yesterday by Pop Culture Detective: https://bit.ly/3BmSirX Support your girls with a ko-fi! ko-fi.com/blackgirlfilmclub Check out the rest of our socials (including our BRAND NEW WEBSITE!!!) at linktr.ee/blackgirlfilmclub
