The Greatest Love Story You Forgot About | Kissin' Kate Barlow / Sam the Onion Man (Holes)
Can you fix the emotional damage this love story caused us? Join us as we throw it back to elementary school to revisit the couple that cursed a town, fueled an incredible revenge story, saved a couple of teenagers and caused us to fight tears at school. Today we're talking Katherine 'Kissin' Kate' Barlow and Sam the Onion Man from Holes, the 2002 movie and 1998 by Louis Sachar. This story may have only taken 10 pages of the book, but it lives forever in our hearts. We recount the tragic tail of a frontier town teacher and the folk medicine man whose love crossed societal and metaphysical boundaries.
Check out the fan edit we mention in the episode.
