039 - Mary Queen of Scots (EXCEPTION - This Had Oscar Buzz)
Added 2025-03-07 08:00:05 +0000 UTCA new Oscar season is dawning, but exceptions stay the same. This month, we're bringing you Mary Queen of Scots, with the conversation straying to how costume dramas have become old news to Oscar and moviegoers alike, Saoirse's 2024 THOB duo in The Outrun and Blitz, Margot Robbie's producing credits, and much more!!

Yes!!!! I remember visiting Westminster Abbey for the first time and was like, “Why does there only get to be ONE WOMAN!” Until they’re dead, of course.

2025-03-12 05:15:24 +0000 UTCThe "we could have ruled as SESTERS!" sentiment isn't actually a modern, rah-rah feminist as it might seem. I forget who it was, but someone not long after they died (and were buried next to each other in Westminster Abbey, BTW) said that if only Early Modern England had same-sex marriage, all their problems could have been solved. Again, heterosexual patriarchy is a curse and a scourge. Mary was Queen of France for a while and grew up in the French court, so either she'd have had a straight-up French accent, or some bizarre French-spoken-with-a-Scottish-burr accent. Can you IMAGINE Saoirse trying that one out?!
