Karen Patch’s illustrious career as a costume designer includes the Royal Tenenbaums, Team America: World Police, School of Rock, and many, many more classic works.

In this episode, Karen talks about the job and roles as a costume designer, her experiences in some of her most beloved films, and so much more!
