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. 0:00 - Opening 10:50 - Hudson's #3 - Hannah Takes The Stairs 23:12 - Jordan's #3 - Queen Margot 35:09 - Lance's #3 - Bonnie & Clyde 49:22 - Gibby's #3 - The Devil Wears Prada 1:01:54 - Hudson's #2 - Frances Ha 1:10:30 - Jordan's #2 - Nosferatu 1:28:48 - Lance's #2 - Network 1:40:11 - Gibby's #2 - Edge of Tomorrow 1:46:01 - Hudson's #1 - 20th Century Women 2:01:14 - Jordan's #1 - Possession 2:14:52 - Lance's #1 - Mommie Dearest 2:27:06 - Gibby's #1 - Sicario
