Woman In Gold - Biopic Bingo

Hello dear listeners, and happy (belated) new year! Very sorry once again for the unplanned hiatus, but here we are, back with an all new episode! This time, we're discussing the 2015 Simon Curtis film Woman In Gold, starring Ryan Reynolds, Helen Mirren, and Tatiana Maslany, in which the biopic trifecta of the Holocaust, the Supreme Court, and art/music history come together to create the ultimate biopic bingo winner! We hope you enjoy!

Hello again, dear listeners! This episode, in honor of American Independence Day, we bring you a cross-over episode with the podcast What Were We Watching? about the 2000 Roland Emmerich film The Patriot, starring Mel Gibson.
