Welcome to my review of Red, White, & Royal Blue (movie). I talked about the book in an earlier episode which you can listen to if you want. This episode is almost as long as the last episode about Heartstopper, but I am sure you will enjoy every minute of it. In this episode we talk about a couple things I needed to add to the Heartstopper episode, why we should love what we love, delve a little into the online drama of straight (or presumed straight) actors playing queer characters, differences between the movie and the book, how I would structure a limited series based on the book, a review of the movie, and a little bit about the music.
