We Really Like Her!

Becky Shrimpton, co-host of the Royal Canadian Movie Podcast, stops by to discuss Sarah Polley’s “Mamma Mia! situation”/docu-drama Stories We Tell. This may be our most Canadian episode yet, but we will not be apologizing for loving a somber ending, wanting more people to worship cinematographer Iris Ng, or defending Michelle Williams’ character in Take This Waltz. Produced by Emily Gagne and Danita Steinberg. Edited by Sonya Suraci. Theme music by Emily Milling.

In the We Really Like Her! / What About Meryl? crossover event you’ve been waiting for, Emily and Danita are joined by Stephanie and Candis, two dynamic women and ‘Mamma Mia’ superfans, to talk about ‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again’! Come for the celebration of Cher’s glitter eyeshadow and real talk about Meryl’s limited role, stay for the women following their dreams and the power of female friendship. Produced by Emily Gagne and Danita Steinberg. Edited by Sonya Suraci. Theme music by Emily Milling.

In anticipation for her role in Sharp Objects, Emily and Danita get enchanted by the magnetic force that is Amy Adams and her meerkat-loving character, Ashley, in Junebug. Settle in for red hot takes on sad masturbation scenes, the legend that is Miss Honey, Julie & Julia (#TeamJulie!), and being “content.”Produced by Emily Gagne and Danita Steinberg. Edited by Sonya Suraci. Theme music by Emily Milling.

Alexandra West, co-host of The Faculty of Horror and author of ‘The 1990s Teen Horror Cycle: Final Girls and a New Hollywood Formula’, teams up with Danita and Emily to celebrate ‘Halloween: H20’ (the ultimate mother-daughter slasher!) and the Adult Woman who makes it a total scream, Jamie Lee Curtis. Produced by Emily Gagne and Danita Steinberg. Edited by Sonya Suraci. Theme music by Emily Milling.

Mallory Andrews, editor of cléo, drops by WRLH! HQ to talk about the ever-incredible Holly Hunter and Broadcast News. Please standby for *pretty hot* takes on how hard it is to be a Successful Working Woman, being attracted to mediocre men, the joys of a scheduled cry, and (of course) Joan Cusack. Produced by Emily Gagne and Danita Steinberg. Edited by Sonya Suraci. Theme music by Emily Milling.

NOW Magazine writer and stand-up comedian Michelle da Silva joins Danita and Emily to discuss Greta Gerwig and “the Casablanca of female friendship."
