This one comes from a land, from a faraway place, where the caravan camels... oops, that was almost a copyright infringement, and so is a lot of this movie!

This week on The CineMeh Podcast, Josh and Ryan rip into one of the worst examples of cultural appropriation and ill-conceived casting ever devised in a video game movie. 2010's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time stands up as a perfect example of why representation in Hollywood is still so deeply necessary. A spiritual successor to S1E7 (we promise we did not plan the 7th episode symmetry), Aladdin and the Prince of Thieves, we break down how this movie could have been its own, fun franchise like The Pirates of the Caribbean but is so mired in poor casting decisions and a convoluted plot-line that it sinks an otherwise promising film.

We are interested in your take! Do you find the casting issues and stumbling story as divisive and unwieldy as we do? Are we being too 'woke'? Or is this movie pretty... pretty bad?

Find out our thoughts, and give your own! This week on The CineMeh Podcast!

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was released in 2010 and stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Ben Kingsly and Alfred Molina
