Podcast Tuesday: "Straight Outta Genovia"

Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diaries.

August 2001. It must have happened. There must have been one. The month before everything changed. America's Last Days of Pompeii

Thinking back, that was a very busy month for me. That was when I quit my customer service job in Flint and moved to Joliet, Illinois to become a middle school Spanish teacher. It was also the first time in my life I ever had my own apartment and lived totally on my own. (I don't count living in the dorms.)

Yeah, August 2001 was a pivotal time in my life. And yet, for obvious reasons, I barely remember it. Because of... well, you know.

This week on These Days Are Ours, we review a movie from August 2001: Garry Marshall's The Princess Diaries starring Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews. The lightest of light entertainment. Just the thing for a late summer movie. I hope America enjoyed the holy hell out of it.

But how does it hold up in October 2025? Push play on the podcast below and find out.
