Tell me more, tell me more! Today we are joined by Didi Conn. You Might Know Her From Grease, Grease 2, You Light Up My Life, Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure, The Magic Show, Frida, Benson, and Shining Time Station. We spoke with THEE Didi Conn about her iconic performance in the Grease films as Frenchie, the legacy of the franchise carrying on with Grease Live! and Joan Blondell’s shoes, and our age-old question about psoriasis as heart disease. Plus, how Toy Story stole from Raggedy Ann & Andy, standing by for Mercedes Ruehl on Broadway, her horrific experience with Joseph Brooks, and the beauty of the musical The Magic Show. This one was a total thing of dreams. Follow us on social media: @youmightknowherfrom || @damianbellino || @rodemanne Discussed this week: Jacob Elordi is hot to everyone.

Hello Therese, we’re back for our annual holiday extravaganza. This year we’re movie-clubbing Todd Haynes’ very luscious and very gay Carol (2015), starring Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, and Sarah Paulson. We discuss the erotic imagery of merely a glove, lesbian sex scenes through the lens of a gay man, and the joy in watching flat male characters (what even IS Jake Lacy’s character’s name?). All that Carol talk for you plus our reactions to the Golden Globe nominations, our dream casting of Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Emma Stone as Pearl Bailey and Carol Channing in a future film, and some Muppet talk. And then…we give you a solid ten minutes on our theory that gay men hate all gay male things while lesbians are much more accepting, our trip down memory lane to remember “lesbian kiss episodes” during November sweeps, the legacy of Roseanne, and Natalie Zea hunting down Kimberly Pierce for the Boys Don’t Cry short she starred in!  Anyway, happy holidays! Do you think Linda Perry and Sara Gilbert watched Carol tog

And we’re back! Folks, after over 5 months of actress-less episodes, we are finally back with the iconic Lea Salonga. You Might Know Her From Aladdin, Mulan, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, and Broadway productions of  Here Lies Love, Miss Saigon, Les Miserables, and Flower Drum Song. Lea was the coolest and gave us all the behind-the-scenes scoop on her Tony-winning turn as Kim in Miss Saigon, Madame Thenardier and the Broadway hat trick we hope to live to see, and whether playing Mouse’s mom is a play on her legend status with the House of Mouse. All that plus, auditioning as both Jasmine and Fa Mulan, the secret Les Mis chorus track (and did Patti Lupone do it?), and her favorite drag queens. Anne and Damian, we twin flames writing this, are just pleased as ever to be back and interviewing actresses. Thanks for being along for the ride and please know that glycolic acid can also be applied under the armpits to stop odor and it works.  Follow us on social media: @youmightknowherfrom

Hooray! SAG has come to a tentative agreement and the strike has finally ended! We are celebrating by answering listener-submitted questions! But first, we talk about Barbra Streisand’s new memoir, her sister Roslyn Kind, and what it must be like to be related to such an otherworldly entertainer. Then, we dig into your questions and we get into it all from the Mount Rushmore of past guests to the love triangle between Ashlyn Harris, Ali Krieger, and Sophia Bush to our educated guess on the vibe of the Desperate Housewives set from all the “research” we’ve conducted. This was just a total pleasure so we hope you’ll sit your sassy and strong-willed selves down and listen with us! Next episode we’re back with an actress!

Hello slayers! We’re back with *another* very special episode of the show. SAG is still on strike so we are movie-clubbing 1992’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer, directed by Fran Rubel Kuzui and written by Joss Whedon. We get into the megawatt stardom of Luke Perry, Kristy Swanson’s surprising singing voice and engaged body during “stunts,” and Hilary Swank as a popular girl.

The awful truth is SAG is still on strike but the bonus is that we are joined by artist and former celebrity gossip writer Ted Casablanca (Bruce Bibby) for an extra special episode of the show. Ted was a mainstay in celebrity journalism in the ‘90s and ‘00s working for Premiere and E!, most notably his programs, The Gossip Show and his column-turned show, The Awful Truth. We talk about EVERYTHING with Ted. From Valley of the Dolls to Mamma Mia, from the Oscars to Sharon Stone and her horse.

What if we had a Patreon? That’s what we’re exploring this week as we continue to stand in solidarity with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA. In lieu of a new actor interview we’re book clubbing 1979’s Norma Rae starring Sally Field, Beau Bridges, and Ron Leibman. Norma Rae is inspired by the real story of mill workers unionizing in rural North Carolina. We get into all the important parts: Ron Leibman being hot, Burt Reynolds advising Sally not to do the film, and the beautiful appearance of legendary character actress Grace Zabriskie in a small role. The film is a small quiet human story about the importance of labor unions and it felt like the right time to correct our blindspot and screen it. Also discussed this episode: the Debra Winger-Barbra Hershey led film A Dangerous Woman, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Mandy Patinkin vs. Toni Collette.

Me and you, just us two. Yes, that’s what Carrie had engraved in a vintage Rolex for Big but also, it’s just us two because we stand with SAG-AFTRA and the WGA. This month we are pulling the spirits of Celeste Holm, Bob Villa, and Steve Urkel from the annals of pop culture. We are also absolutely head over heels for the reignited rumors that Mel B and Geri of the Spice Girls possibly (and probably) carried on a lesbian relationship in the ‘90s. That, plus we take a look at Barbra Streisand’s duets album, Fran Lebowitz’s WNBA fandom, and start prepping for a Norma Rae screening!

We are back, just us, because we stand with SAG-AFTRA and the WGA. You Might Know Us From hosting this podcast, complaining and obsessing over And Just Like That, and our morbid curiosity about the new “senior” Bachelor.  In this episode we’re breaking down our understanding of the strike and how we’ll continue to pivot away from actor interviews until there is a fair agreement with the studios. We’re also gossiping about Barbie, terrible reality TV tropes, the essence of beauty that is Jaida Essence Hall, and somehow relating And Just Like That back to… The Facts of Life. We really get a kick out of each other!

Obviously, we got into Debra’s iconic impressions of Whitney Houston and Oprah Winfrey and the unfortunate story behind her departure after eight seasons. All that, plus her instrumental role in developing the Na'vi people and Neytiri in Avatar, living in the “Debra Wilson metaverse” in video games, and acting opposite nearly every boy bander from the aughts.

Jen speaks! We are here with actor and writer Jen Tullock. You Might Know Her From Perry Mason, Severance, Before You Know It, Spirited, 6 Balloons, and The L Word: Generation Q. Jen gave us the skinny on her banner year playing a period lesbian in the Perry Mason reboot and wearing a prosthetic pregnant belly while navigating the tone of genre dark-comedy Severance. We also talked about getting her indie Before You Know It made, bit work in the holiday film Spirited, and, of course, her iconic turn as Kimmy the wedding planner in the final episode (ever) of The L Word: Generation Q. We had a total hoot with Jen going from old Hollywood gossip to Evangelical beginnings to Judy Speaks to Joan Plowright.

We were in long pursuit of Donna and were pleased as punch to chat with her about finding her dancer posture for Center Stage, the Joni Mitchell mishap that almost stood in the way of Mother Gothel, and how Mrs. Asher is the Mort Guffman of The Gilded Age. All that, plus how she covered for Audrey in Little Shop for one night only, dying every night on stage for Passion, and the incredible highs and lows of playing Dolly Levi as the alternate to Bette Midler in the recent Hello, Dolly! revival.

We go deep with Mindy on her iconic lesbian role, Frau Farbissina, but also dig into the lesbian subplot lurking beneath Ron Howard’s Grinch film. Plus: working with kids and dogs, her repartee with the late, great Leslie Jordan in the Alan Tudyk web series, ConMan, the surprising generosity of Teri Hatcher, and why Jim Carrey was more method than Mike Myers.
