Mortified! Episode 82: Imagine Dragons as Themselves (LoL: Arcane)
Mortified! The Friendship Quest
Every Monday, hosts Aaron and Leyla bounce a media recommendation to one another in order to bolster - or in some cases, really, really test - their long-distance friendship. Join us for a discussion on anything from our favorite Terrible Boys to the profitability of grown men dressing up as Bulbasaur and loudly shouting their own names.

This week, Aaron and Leyla 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.

This week, Aaron and Leyla switch it up for the holidays by returning to the Princess Switch franchise! We talk about team rocket-ass accomplices, rank some hot simps, and pitch some sick sequels to keep this, the Best Movie Franchise, going forever.

(The title of this episode is to be read to the tune of 'Prince Ali' from the Disney movie, Aladdin. Thank you.)
(Also, if you think Leyla's audio sounds insane, that's because it does, and she is taking recommendations for new voice modulators that don't regularly betray her.)
This week, Aaron drags Leyla kicking and screaming back to their late high-school years and revisit Starkid's production of 'Twisted!' They discuss time capsules, how much Aaron loves his wife, and how much Leyla hates inexplicably hates Aladdin.
