For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up is The Wandering Earth 2 (2019), the sequel to the Chinese sci-fi blockbuster of the same name, which we watched last week. It follows the continuing efforts of humanity to save Earth by moving it out of range of the expanding sun by creating gigantic engines that propel it to safety, and toward a new home in a star system lightyears away. This one has a much larger budget than the original and is generally considered to be better than the first. We’ll find out for ourselves.

After that is Barbie in The 12 Dancing Princesses (2006), an animated fairy tale featuring twelve sisters who are forbidden to dance by a sinister duchess. The sisters love dancing, though, so they go through a portal into a parallel world where they can dance to their hearts’ content. Many sources consider this to be the best of the direct-to-video Barbie movies, and it has an extremely high rating on Letterboxd, so let’s check it out.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
