Episode 139- The Lion in Winter (1968)

Reel Feels Podcast

It's Christmas 1183, and King Henry II (Peter O'Toole) is planning to announce his successor to the throne. The jockeying for the crown, though, is complex. Henry has three sons and wants his boy Prince John (Nigel Terry) to take over. Henry's wife, Queen Eleanor (Katharine Hepburn), has other ideas. She believes their son Prince Richard (Anthony Hopkins) should be king. As the family and various schemers gather for the holiday, each tries to make the indecisive king choose their option.

Ever thought about locking your wife up in prison? Or having your children compete for your love and rule of the land? How about having your mistress marry one of your sons just so you can have her within reach? Well then you might be watching "The Lion in Winter" (1968)! This fabulous adaptation was a great pick by host Jack, and we all loved it. From the costuming, the casting, on-site film locations... this academy award winning film has it all. Join us for an early Christmas this summer and revel in the family drama!

We are the Reel Feels Podcast, every other Wednesday we'll bring you a new movie with all the feels you can handle. We'll laugh, we'll cry and possibly restrain the frustrations to curse the heavens. But what you can count on is three guys sharing their love of cinema with you.
