We are feeling terrific about this episode! This week we discuss Hanna-Barbera's most un-Hanna-Barbera-like movie: Charlotte's Web from 1973.

Aly talks about the lives of both the author and illustrator of Charlotte's Web: E.B. White and Garth Williams. We manage to get through both of their lives without anything too tragic happening - progress!

Sarrah talks about the road to adapting this movie from the beloved children's book, and how White wasn't super keen on it. He even turned down Disney from doing this picture! This sparks a discussion on adaptation and how to give up your work to other people's ideas.

Our walk-through touches on farm life and people's complicated relationship with meat (please don't send us e-mails, we know), Debbie Reynold's being perfection, and how some friendships just aren't very equal.

So come on down to the farm and check out Zukerman's Famous Pig and his much nicer, more talented, more selfless friend named Charlotte!
