A Christmas Prince

Episode 6: A Christmas Prince (2017)

Theme: Hallmark-esque Christmas Movies (But Make It Netflix)
Hosts: Oz & Curtis

This week, Oz and Curtis trade in their dignity for a first-class ticket to Aldovia — the most magical fictional European monarchy ever created by a Netflix executive with five minutes and a map of nothing. They dive headfirst into A Christmas Prince, the 2017 Netflix holiday rom-com that proves journalism is merely a suggestion, royal security is optional, and apparently all you need to overthrow a monarchy is a moderately sassy blog.

Join your two favorite festive film masochists as they unwrap:

Why Amber Moore is less “investigative journalist” and more “woman who takes notes on a royal conspiracy using a 14-inch MacBook in full view of everyone.”

How Prince Richard manages to look simultaneously like a rugged adventurer and a catalog model posing for “Nordic Sweaters for Men Who Sigh a Lot.”

Why Aldovia’s political system appears to be:

1. Have a king
2. Lose the king
3. Panic
4. Let anyone within a 100-foot radius of the palace become the new king
5. Celebrate with pastries

How Princess Emily — an 11-year-old with more charisma, intellect, and emotional maturity than the entire rest of the cast — could singlehandedly run the Aldovian government by Tuesday.

The astonishing fact that Cousin Simon looks like he accidentally wandered in from a soap opera called General Backstabbery and everyone just rolled with it.

And of course, the royal romance itself — a love story powered by misunderstandings, lies, accidental trespassing, and the irresistible charm of watching two adults flirt like middle schoolers who’ve just learned what feelings are.

From inexplicable horseback montages to 19th-century succession laws solved by… checking a drawer, Oz and Curtis explore Netflix’s bold attempt to out-Hallmark Hallmark — complete with royalty, romance, and absolutely no responsible journalism.

Final Verdict:
Oz — Three royal pastries out of five
Curtis — One forged succession document out of one
Both — Still unsure where Aldovia is, but pretty sure they could get a press pass.
