[Cardcaptor Sakura]

 

Quote

The film is a behind-the-scenes story of the women who negotiated with the Buckingham Palace establishment to secure the "scoop of the decade" that was the public catalyst for the downfall of Prince Andrew, in a televised interview which focused on Andrew's relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and allegations of Andrew's sexual assault of a minor which Andrew denies and in early 2022 settled out of court for a £12 million settlement. The interview was later described as less a car crash than "a plane crashing into an oil tanker, causing a tsunami, triggering a nuclear explosion

Thrilling movie.  Gillian and Billie killed their roles  Rufus Sewell was incredibly good & creepy as Andrew.

Not just the pictures and interview,  but when he got out of the tub, yuck

Ugh it makes me mad Andrew was never really held accountable aside from public humiliation. I wish the monarchy would burn down.

This was fantastic. I'm shocked it didn't make more noise.
