I've Been Meaning to Watch Your Monster w/Chae Jones

In this exciting episode of *I've Been Meaning to Watch That*, I’m joined by the amazing Chae Jones, a content creator and entertainment host, as we dive into some of the hottest topics in entertainment! **Princess Diaries 3: A Royal Return** Chae and I kick off the episode with the thrilling news about *Princess Diaries 3*! With Adele Lim directing, we couldn’t be more excited to see what’s next for Genovia. This beloved franchise is finally getting the continuation fans have been waiting for, and we’re here to share all our hopes and dreams for this sequel. **Cynthia Erivo and *Wicked*: A Fan Poster Controversy** Next, we discuss the drama surrounding Cynthia Erivo’s casting as Elphaba in the upcoming *Wicked* movie musical. Cynthia has faced unfair disrespect since her casting, despite being an incredibly talented Black woman. We break down why representation matters, how fan backlash impacts artists, and why Cynthia is the perfect choice for this iconic role. **Euphoria Season 3 Delays** The hit HBO series *Euphoria* has faced multiple delays and cast shake-ups, leaving fans wondering about its future. With filming reportedly resuming in January 2025, we chat about what this means for the show, the controversies surrounding it, and our thoughts on where the story might go next. **Your Monster: A Horror Rom-Com for the Weird Girls** We’re obsessed with *Your Monster*, a horror-romantic comedy starring the amazing Melissa Barrera as Laura Franco. This quirky film follows Laura, a cancer survivor recovering from a breakup, as she discovers a literal monster hiding in her mother’s closet. Chae and I break down how this movie is empowering for "weird girls," drawing comparisons to *Lisa Frankenstein*, and explore how Laura’s journey of self-empowerment and embracing her anger makes this film a must-watch. **What We’re Watching Now** To wrap things up, we chat about our current movie and TV obsessions, swapping recommendations and sharing what’s been keeping us entertained.
