    Comedian Maria Shehata and writer/director Cat Rhinehart break down the 1953 classic Roman Holiday, starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, through the lens of their feminist film podcast.

The hosts debate whether Gregory Peck’s character is actually good for the princess. They also dive into why actors looked older in classic films, the pressures of royalty, and what modern movies could learn from this charming, bittersweet classic.
