Four Friends Fight About Film

Way back in the blissful world of January 2020, when nothing could possibly go wrong, we recorded an episode all about our favorite actresses. It sat on a hard drive for years only to be dusted off for the recent celebration of one of the four friend’s nuptials! We each chose one actress and three movies that best represented their body of work. You’ll learn all about an actress who acts in three different languages, an actress who transitions flawlessly from fashion magazine publisher assistant to time-traveling action hero, an actress who was nominated for “worst actress of the decade,” and an actress who directed Barbie.

The list you’ve all been waiting for, our favorite movies of... 2017. Okay so when we started recording this season it WAS 2017 so this episode made a lot more sense then. However, we still stand by our picks which include movies about a figure skater, a veterinary student, a newspaper publisher, a group therapy session, a movie set 29 years in the future, two set 80 years in the past, and one about a dude who acts like a monkey.
