Ep 59: Danish History and “The Promised Land” (2023, dir. Nikolaj Arcel)

from Midday Movies · host Laura Fones and Stephen Frothingham

Today we’re discussing the interesting history of Danish democracy, the settlement of the Jutland, the new Mads Mikkelsen film “The Promised Land”, and potatoes! History-heavy, Danish-heavy, and with a heavy appreciation for Mads Mikkelsen, we chat about the unlikely moment that a European king agreed that the aristocracy should be eliminated. Strap in for a fun little frolic through European monarchism and how it all became somewhat democratic. But also, and we cannot stress this enough, POTATOES. Join us!
