The Adventures of Baron Munchausen’s Hot Air Balloon made of Underpants
This one is a little scandalous! Liza drops an f bomb and says the word prostate before we even hit the intro music! And she's the sewing one!
Join playwright Meghan and patternmaker Liza as we unpick Terry Gilliam's 1988 film, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen; beloved by Liza, tolerated by Meghan.
Convo meanders through Greek Mythology, stuntwork for child actors, fashion history, plumbing history, some gross stuff, and Meghan's dislike of space, and focuses in on the most important issue of all: could the people of a city under seige in the 1790’s REALLY have made a hot air balloon out of underpants?
Come for the shocking facts about underwear, stay for Meghan's master-class in pretending to be awake.
Books mentioned in this episode include D’Aulaire’s Book Of Greek Myths and The Nutcracker by E.T.A. Hoffman with illustrations by Maurice Sendak.
