A Ghoul at the Best Western

Episode 111: A Ghoul at the Best Western

Prompts: Marble, 110099, Effervescence

LT and Neal are back with a vengeance and LT gets triggered by two words that have haunted her for years... A Capella. But enough about the dulcet tones of beat boxing and harmonies.

Neal starts off today's episode taking 1100 and turning it into November 2000 to talk about one of the highest grossing movies of Y2K, How The Grinch Stole Christmas starring Jim Carrey as everyone's favorite antagonist with a heart two sizes too small. Neal tells behind-the-scenes anecdotes, references the original book and cartoon, and previews some news behind the potential new franchise.

Then, LT invites listeners to learn about the extraordinary Edmonia Lewis, an American sculptor who was prolific during the Civil War and created unforgettable works of art when the world wasn't kind to her. Works include busts of famous American Generals (later featured in Hollywood being played by Ferris Bueller of all people) as well as work in Italy and Europe that would make her work timeless.
