Ep. 42: Jack the Giant Slayer (2013)

Of Slippers and Spindles - Fairy Tale Retellings and Adaptations in Books, Film, and Theatre

"Fee, fi, fo, fum,
Ask not whence the thunder comes
For between heaven and earth is a perilous place
Home to a fearsome giant race."
For our first week of Jack and the Beanstalk Month, Drew and Cassie are here to talk about Jack the Giant Slayer! This 2013 film has an all-star cast including Nicholas Holt, Eleanor Tomlinson, Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Ian McShane, and Bill Nighy. Along the way, we discuss beanstalk violence, Sisters of the Never Sea, fear of heights, fear of depths, the portrayal of royalty in fairy tale retellings, the theme of history being written by the victors, Twisted: The Untold Story of the Royal Vizier, our family lineages, and Cassie's favorite game to play with her husband: "Hey, Look, It's Warwick Davis!"
