Episode 119: "Spencer" (2021)

Published: Feb. 25, 2022, 12:44 p.m.

b'Princess Diana is having the weirdest Christmas ever in "Spencer," with pearls in her soup, Anne Boleyn haunting her in the halls and only the encouragement of a potentially imaginary best friend Maggie, played by BSA Sally Hawkins, to keep her going till Boxing Day. It\'s definitely very different from the 9 or 10 biopics that already exist about the Princess of Wales, and honestly, thank god. Kristen Stewart certainly earns her Oscar nomination, as well as Johnny Greenwood\'s haunting score, and Timothy Spall and Sean Harris stand out in a movie full of uptight men in winer coats. Speaking of coats, that coat on the dress form really takes us down an unnecessary "Starting Over" tangent this week. Also: we spend a meaningful amount of time on the subject of Reuben sandwiches.\\n\\nBest Supporting Patreon: www.patreon.com/bsapod\\n\\nEmail: thebsapod@gmail.com\\nTwitter: @bsapod\\n\\nColin Drucker\\nTwitter: @colindrucker\\nInstagram: @colindrucker_\\n\\nNick Kochanov\\nTwitter: @nickkochanov\\nInstagram: @nickkochanov'
