01. Ever After

Welcome to the very first episode of Tell Me I’m Sorry! We’re so thankful you’re here as we discuss the underrated 90s GEM of a film, EVER AFTER (1998). Maggie shares her lifelong love of Drew Barrymore (which she proves via a reading from her teenage diary), Marin laments her young self’s lack of appreciation for the film, and we talk about how this re-telling of Cinderella diverges from other versions of the fairytale to give us characters, friendships, and romance worth rooting for.
