Ep. 63 - Maggie Smith (feat. Dan Craig)

Munsons at the Movies

Welcome to the Munsons at the Movies podcast. Each episode we delve into the filmography and impact of a randomly selected actor.

In this episode, we explore the career of Maggie Smith. Best known for her roles as Violet Crawley in Downton Abbey, Professor McGonagall in the Harry Potter franchise, and Miss Jean Brodie (1969), we're going all the way back to the 1950's with our reviews in this episode. Joined for the fifth time by guest Munson, Dan Craig, we discuss her numerous Oscar nominated roles, the buddy action flick we all wished we could see with Maggie & Whoopi Goldberg, we're back in our bag talking gratuitous male nudity in films, and we debate her evolution as a performer over nine different decades. As James says, "This woman was born when Hitler was alive--she's seen some shit." Where does Dame Maggie Smith rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.
