Ep. 291 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “Edward VIII: Britain’s Traitor King”

It's rare that one finds a documentary in which all the interview subjects direct the same level of venom and disdain at the same target with quite this much elegance and skill, but the BBC special EDWARD VIII: TRAITOR KING is one of them, and Christopher and Eric delight in every barbed sentence. Summer of Scandal concludes with a grand promenade into the world of royal families — and their scheming, traitorous, black sheep sons. You may know Edward VIII as the supposed romantic hero who gave up the crown for love. Did you also know he was a traitor to his country who gave the Nazis intelligence that proved critical to their war plans and that he spent more time trying to retrieve his wife's swimsuit from a war zone than to protect his brother and sister from the Blitz? We didn't either.
