Episode notes

This week we're talking about the hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo. Did you know that the Disney movie is only very loosely based on this story? It's a summer camp I worked at a couple years ago where some kids did a really weird version of the hunchbacks. But yeah I don't remember that Disney movie as part of the late 90s decline of the animation department.

We're dipping back in the Victor Hugo well this week with his other best-known book The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Did you know that the book and the Disney movie don't end the same way?

Also on tap: road trips, games of tag, revisiting the poverty question from last week, and talking about Hugo's views on architecture vs. the printing press.
