Hemlocke Springs on Selena Gomez, Tutus & the "Icky" Joey Parker Reveal (Another Cinderella Story)

Singer-songwriter Hemlocke Springs joins The Spark Parade to deep-dive into the 2008 Selena Gomez classic Another Cinderella Story. From the $5 Walmart DVD bin to the "Zune" vs. "iPod" debate, we’re exploring why this movie is the ultimate Gen Z cultural touchstone. 🥀✨

Is Another Cinderella Story the best adaptation of all time? Hemlocke Springs (the voice behind the viral hit "Girlfriend") argues that the choreography, the Jane Lynch campiness, and the "New Classic" soundtrack redefined pop aesthetics for a generation. We also uncover the "icky" reality of the Joey Parker (Drew Seeley) age gap that might just ruin your childhood. 😅
