Designing Women S5 E20 Extra Sugar - Sweet Tea & TV Takes on To Kill a Mockingbird

Why in the world would a 2024 podcast about a late-80s/early-90s TV show have an entire episode about a 1960s movie about the 1930s? Well, if you’ve been around ST&TV for any amount of time, you know we have our reason! This week, we have three of ‘em: It’s a tie-in to this week’s courtroom drama” in “Designing Women”.  Bernice is in it! In our S2 E5 “Extra Sugar” about Alice Ghostley, we mentioned this was one of her first major roles.  Finally, this is one of Charlene Stillfield’s fave movies. Over the seasons, we’ve heard her mention it as a girl’s night must-watch and as her late-pregnancy comfort movie. So, if it’s a “Designing Women” favorite and a Southern classic, we felt we owed it to ourselves and to our listeners to watch it and see what we think.  We’ll talk about the movie generally, the actors in it, and its cultural and historical influence (plus, you know how we do our movie reviews - we’ll throw in some fun facts along the way!)
