Ep 111 – The King’s Speech – Bertie, Lionel, and Some Unfortunate Tongue Twisters
In this episode of Rosie the Reviewer, we discuss The King’s Speech (2010), the biopic about King George VI and his unlikely friendship with Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue. We get into what the film gets right and where it takes some liberties… look, Edward VIII was a lot more pro-Nazi than the movie suggests. Also: how the Second World War ended up being the best thing that could have happened for the British monarchy’s reputation.
