b"In this installment of the Mermaid Movie Club, we dive into one of my favorite mermaid films of all time, Stephen Chow's 2016 epic rom-com The Mermaid! This film has everything: Octopus men, John Waters mustaches, mermaids who walk on their tails, poison sea urchins, and even attempted assassination! It may sound crazy, because it is.

Dive in to find out. // For more on the Shan Hai Jing: http://totallyhistory.com/shan-hai-jing/ / Learn more about Chinese mermaid legends: https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/culture/2016-02/22/content_23591906.htm // Follow me on Twitter and Instagram: @mermaidxandria / Like Mermaid Xandria on Facebook: tinyurl.com/xandriafb / Please rate and review on Apple Podcasts!\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mermaidmovieclub/message"
