Ep. 56: Crownin’ Around with Diana: The Crown S4

Karen & Wynter binged all of Netflix’s The Crown in a single day, as season 4 of the prestige series swerves into the GenX sweet spot of 1977-1990. The two get into the Charles & Diana of it all, and the cognitive dissonance of seeing Gillian Anderson as Margaret Thatcher, while taking a stab at answering why two California-raised WOC like themselves are so fascinated by anemic British royals. Karen updates us on the pandemic-themed debuts of Grey’s Anatomy and This is Us, and Wynter reminds us why Leta Powell Drake is a national treasure. Plus Nuo-Lingo and tunes befitting the People’s Princess. Find all things W2X at w2xpodcast.com
