    Episode 45: Angels in America
    It's been a while since we've last recorded but as our finale looms, we take a look at the 2003 miniseries 'Angels in America'. We talk about Meryl's many roles in the series from rabbi to ghost mother, how much Al Pacino loves 'A Cry in the Dark', Mary Louise Parker and how this isn't our favourite Emma Thompson role despite her angelic persona. We also talk about some Meryl news involving Mamma Mia 2 and a somewhat 'Silkwood' reunion! Get ready for our finale with 'It's Complicated' next week!

    Episode 44: One True Thing
    As we're winding down, we're tackling another serious role for Meryl with 1998's 'One True Thing'. From the 'timeless mom' look Streep brings, Renee Zellweger reminding us how good of an actress she is, to William Hurt being good (but actually bad.) Tune in next week for Angels in America!

    Episode 43: Mamma Mia!
    Here we go again! This week, we tackle 2008's summer smash 'Mamma Mia!' So much singing and dancing that neither of us is saying SOS. We talk Meryl's singing, Pierce Brosnan wanting to work with 'drama school crushes' and Danita identifying with Julie Walters and being okay with ending up with Stellan Skarsgård.

    Episode 41: The Giver
    It's time to go back to school with 2014's 'The Giver'! We talk about the book Emily read (and hated!)as a child, that Taylor Swift cameo, tarnished Jonas brothers memories, and a whole lot more.

    Apologies for the quiet audio in this week's episode but we're looking into the problems. We'll be off for two weeks and return with 'Prime'!

    Episode 40: A Cry in the Dark
    We're back in the '80s again this week with 'A Cry in the Dark'!

    Did the dingo really eat Lindy Chamberlain's baby? Or did it GET her baby? We discuss this and more as we dissect what may be one of Meryl's most underrated (and best?) performances.

    (Be advised, there's some audio feedback in the background this week! We apologize in advance for any issues this causes.)

    Episode 39: Heartburn (feat. Johanna Schneller)
    This week, Johanna Schneller, host of CBC's 'The Filmmakers', returns to discuss another one of her favourites, 1986's 'Heartburn'.

    Based on the novel by Nora Ephron, this movie stars Meryl and Jack Nicholson. We discuss their on-screen relationship, as well Johanna's history with the film, including living on the Upper East Side of New York and seeing where they filmed it. And just wait until you hear Emily's opinions on brunette Meryl and Danita's take on whether or not Jack is charming. Also, that Carly Simon song is A JAM.

    Episode 38: Falling in Love
    On the latest What About Bobby? .... er, What About Meryl? ... we talk about 1984's 'Falling in Love'! Is it as delightful as the VHS copy currently sitting in Emily's apartment? Yes and no. But just look at Robert De Niro in those pants! And those shots of New York! And Meryl in cute outfits! And ... a chicken playing tic-tac-toe??

    Episode 37: Into The Woods
    Are you ready to follow us into the woods (INTO THE WOODS!)?

    This week, Meryl's a witchy woman, stealing both scenes and princesses. But does her performance cast enough of a spell to make us like a movie co-starring an especially creepy Johnny Depp?
