December 14, 2021 Mortified! Episode 81: Mrs. Potts‘s Merry Thiccmas Special (BatB: The Enchanted Christmas)
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.

November 29, 2021 Mortified! Episode 79: Prince Aaron, Amorous He, Really a Wife Guy (Starkid‘s Twisted)
(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.

November 08, 2021 Mortified! SCORPIO SEASON SPECIAL! Episode 76: Organization XIII Finsta Drama Account (Kingdom Hearts 3)
This week, Aaron and Leyla get a little birthday-drunk and talk about the long-awaited not-ending to the Kingdom Hearts franchise/this series of podcasts: Kingdom Hearts 3! We discuss Org XIII finstas, the pitfalls of dealing with corporate IP strangleholds, and get a little sentimental about how much this silly series means to us.
I couldn't find the article that refers to Nomura's desire to keep stories surprising, but it's referenced in the comments on this article so I know I'm not crazy:
