Episode 28 -The Art of the Heist

Things get mad highbrow this week on It Happened One Year, as Sarah & Joe wander down the unfamiliar avenues of the art world and the famed, low-tech thefts of 1994! Come along as they discuss the retrieval of the long lost, largely forgotten, considered possibly mythical Raphael painting "Madonna and Child with Lamb" or "Madonna With the Hay," with no few Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and singer/actress Madonna jokes tossed in for good measure. The second half covers the wild tale of former European footballer Paal Enger (or Pål Enger), who stole Edvard Munch's "The Scream" from the National Gallery in Oslo on the opening day of the Lillehammer Olympics - which wasn't even the first Munch painting he had ever yoinked. Along the way, the hosts discuss their favorite Picassos and Hoppers, random art galleries they've visited, which TMNT was the best character in the classic SEGA Genesis game, and whether or not Georgia O'Keefe sucks, in this hoity-toity twenty-eighth episode!
