That's What Tapestries Are For

The holiday season is upon us, beloved listeners, and with it comes Helena’s birthday! (If you want to wish her a happy birthday, just yell it out your window. She’ll know). For her birthday pick, we watched The Lion in Winter! Your intrepid Sneople explain why The Lion in Winter is both a Christmas movie and NOT a Christmas movie at all, talk about the adaptation of the play to film and why it works so well, and gush about Katherine Hepburn, both in this role and in general. They also talk a decent amount about the actual history of the royals depicted in the movie - surprise! They’re history nerds too! Sorry in advance for never explaining our opening joke. Just listen to No Children by the Mountain Goats after watching The Lion in Winter and it’ll make sense.
