Disney Movies Ruined Dating And How Not To Be A Toxic Disney Princess

About this episode

Eli humorously critiques Disney princess movies and their impact on dating expectations while encouraging listeners to unlearn harmful narratives about love.

In this highly requested solo episode, Eli takes a hilarious, unfiltered look at the classic Disney princess movies that secretly ruined our dating expectations. He breaks down why we’re all addicted to a delusional, “fairytale” view of love—and how media propaganda has conditioned us to chase a non-existent spark. From dragging Snow White for moving in with seven roommates, to questioning how Ariel expected to build a life with a guy who literally eats her oceanic friends, no nostalgic film is safe. Eli unpacks the bizarre trend of men falling in love with unconscious women (looking at you, Sleeping Beauty), and why forced romances in movies like Mulan teach us that we are only as good as our relationship status. You’ll laugh, you’ll feel called out, and you’ll leave with a reality check on why unlearning this "relationship porn" is the first step to building real emotional intelligence.
