Mortified! Episode 81: Mrs. Potts‘s Merry Thiccmas Special (BatB: The Enchanted Christmas)

This week, @monsterfactoryfanfic and @leylses wrap out 2021 with a viewing of the 1997 direct-to-VHS sequel to Beauty and the Beast, Beauty and the Beast: An Enchanted Christmas! Join us for a discussion of what's inside Mrs. Potts, Beast's toxic romantic relationships, and yet another pitch for an extended cinematic universe. And, after we recover from one of the more reputable Disney sequels, we put our best episodes through our now-annual bracket, decide what our best discussion was, and then do a little goalsetting for 2022. 

If you don't make it through the second half of our episode, just know that you, the listener, have our endless gratitude for hanging in there with us for two years. Tell your friends about this podcast, and we'll be back next year with a new look, a new groove, and somehow even fewer hinges than we normally have.
