Another week! Another episode! This week, we deep dive into The Kings Speech. I actually super loved this movie, and while there are a bunch of changes, everyone should still watch this movie. Colin Firth does an amazing job as Prince Albert. Listen, and let us know what you think! 

In this episode of our podcast, we delve into the historical accuracies and inaccuracies of the critically acclaimed movie "The King's Speech." The movie depicts the struggles of King George VI, who suffered from a debilitating stutter, and his journey to overcome it with the help of speech therapist Lionel Logue.

Our hosts analyze the movie's portrayal of key historical events, such as the abdication of King Edward VIII, which led to George VI's unexpected rise to the throne. They also examine the movie's depiction of the relationship between Logue and the king, and whether it accurately reflects the real-life dynamic between the two.

As the hosts explore the movie's portrayal of the time period, they question whether it accurately represents the social and political climate of the era. They examine the movie's treatment of issues such as the rise of fascism and the looming threat of World War II, and whether it effectively conveys the tension and uncertainty of the time.

Throughout the episode, our hosts engage in a lively discussion about the challenges of adapting historical events into a narrative form, and the trade-offs that often occur between accuracy and dramatic effect.

Join us as we explore the historical accuracies and inaccuracies of "The King's Speech" and consider the broader question of how we represent history on screen.
