Hello everyone. Today's podcast is another in my It's a Love Story series sponsored by my book

of the same name, which just celebrated five years of existence. I can't believe how time flies

and how this is my 25th podcast about my favorite love stories. What's even weirder is that I have

never podcasted about one of my favorite movies

ever after. Just listen to this synopsis. This updated adaptation of the classic fairy tale

tells the story of Danielle, a vibrant young woman who is forced into servitude after her father's

death. Daniel's stepmother is ugh, is a heartless woman

who forces Daniel to do the cooking and cleaning while she tries to marry off her own two daughters.

Really one daughter. But Daniel's life takes a wonderful turn when she meets the charming Prince Henry.

Ever after taught us that strong, feisty women know how to throw an apple

and hit a moving target. They have no problem climbing trees and can learn to expertly use a sword

by the age of eight. We also learned that you should always help an elderly artist who is being

robbed by gypsies in the woods, and that a lady's voice should not be

louder than the gentle hum of a whispering wind. I love this movie with my whole heart. It's not about

magic wands or fairy godmothers. It's about true love. Sure, the prince and his bride did live

happily ever after, but the point, dear listener, is that they lived.

Hey everyone, I'm Lindsay and welcome to the I Hate Green Beans podcast. During each episode, I'll be discussing television, movies, music, and books with friends who love pop culture as much as I do.

For those of you wondering, yes, we will be talking about the Bachelor franchise,

and no, I do not want to try your grandmother's famous green bean casserole recipe.

But thanks for offering.

Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

It's really great. Here we go. Yes. It's going to be great.
