Season 2, Episode 19 - Ben Hur (Happy Easter!)

Festive Fans Unite! (send us a message)

The Festive Fans are on spring break, so we are veering off our main road to take  a new scenic route.  Instead of exploring a foreign country this episode, we are setting the way back machine 65 years to a magical time of those grand scale, over the top, larger than life films, with a literal army of extras and actors who don’t just act—they command the screen. We are instantly being transported back to Ancient Rome to witness the Biblical drama of Ben Hur.  

Why, you might wonder, has your favorite podcast abandoned its Christmas pretense to tackle this epic Hollywood classic -- trading in snow and boots for sandals and capes?  Well, while we love our cookies and eggnog, there are still times when we crave a jellybean or a Cadbury egg.  So, we have set off on a seasonal side quest to learn about the pastel fever dream that is spring’s answer to Christmas – yes, we are talking about Easter!  It’s still festive, full of sugar, and a good holiday-themed excuse to listen to ourselves talk. Think of it less like changing discussion topics and more like taking a holiday from our holiday... to talk about another holiday!

So, set down your bunny tail, grab a Peep and let’s kick back to enjoy the heavy eyeliner, dramatic pauses, and some wacky foreign Easter customs.  Ze smelten de Paashaas!
