Through The Wind Door

Beyond the Wind Door - The Miscommunication Trilogy: Montana (1998)

It feels like this one has been a long time coming.

Closing out our trilogy, we bring you the 1998 movie straight to cable movie called Montana, a movie that's hard to find and no one talks about, in spite of its star studded cast. Maybe our shared appreciation of this at times comedic crime drama will spark others to make an effort to find it. The movie poster to assist:

And here as promised is the venn diagram of our trilogy:

Princess Thieves - London Town, Part 4 (Chapters 6-10)

Today is the music episode! Or well, mostly the music episode. We go in depth with a lot of the most important or notable tracks in the Princess Thieves sound track, though more conversation is down the road as tracks come up in the story.

We also have more character discussion, specifically with regards to Meg and The Nag, but also a pivotal conversation between Baltus, Duke Coriolanus, and Mortimer Wilson, as we continue to unpack the motivations, feelings, and character of the Grand Duke.

Outtakes at the end... and a little something extra.
