Sorry in advance for the bad sound quality on Maddie's end! There were a LOT of technical difficulties with recording and editing this episode so please bear with us! This episode we discuss mainly two big releases, Spencer and The Power of the Dog, and jump from there to discussions about actors disappearing into roles and auteur theory. Small correction: Maddie said the comic From Hell featured Prince Edward but it is about Prince Albert Victor.
