Episode Description from the Publisher

In today's special July 4th bonus episode, we're covering the 1972 historical musical 1776, which features Blythe Danner—pregnant with Gwyneth Paltrow—as Martha Jefferson. We talk about the striking resemblance between Blythe and her now much more famous daughter, and how this movie subverts popular perception of the Founding Fathers. Plus: spoiling Hadestown, relitigating Hamilton, and being raised by Jack McCoy.
