The world may be slowly receding into an isolationist pandemic apocalypse - and in the spirit of that we have decided to create this more 'free wheeling' cartoon special (as compared to the usual hard-hitting and well researched film critiques you are all used to from us).
After some on the fly Bruce Dern research, we went into 'Joust Like a Woman', the early 2002 episode featuring Dern as 'Serving Wench' and Alan Rickman as 'King Philip'. In this episode, loaded with some great sight gags and honest character development, Hank is trying to close a Propane deal with the local renaissance faire and falls in love with it. Peggy tries to settle into a job there but faces inequality and sexism against her fellow 'wenches' including Dern. After some dishonor, Hank is defeated in jousting by the King and Peggy then defeats him who is further dunked on by Dern and wenches who serve him with a workers rights suit.
Between two Derns this week we meandered a bit - instead of I writing it all out and you not reading this section of the bio... why not just listen? xoxo love you
The second episode, 'Patch Boomhauer', the 2003 season opener features Dern as 'Katherine' (and Brad Pitt as the titular Patch Boomhauer). Katherine is the regular Boomhauers old flame, who comes home with his brother Patch to get married! As you can imagine this stirs up trouble, especially when it is revealed that Patch is a grade A creep. Needless to say hilarity ensues, the engagement is broken, and Katherine leaves town to never be seen again - leaving Boomhauer to die alone (presumably).
Both of these episodes of KOTH can be found on Hulu.
Until next time dear listeners, please stay safe and stay inside! Laura Dern will get us through this together. And we do hope you enjoyed our looser, from the hip podcasting style. In times like this it is all we really can do.
Please follow us, give us your feedback, share us around, and stay tuned for more Dern!
