We finally made it to Carrie's first book! It's a book light on plot but full of beautiful characters, dark humor, and a whole lotta heart.

Ostensibly about the Statue of Liberty contrasted with an immigration story, "Liberty" manages to leave out the most interesting parts of both. And yet, Katie found it charming. Claire was significantly less enthusiastic. And Carrie is, as is too-often the case, mostly absent.

"From Here to Maternity" is a fever dream of a movie, full of references to other movies and all-too-familiar anxiety around a falling birth rate. But hey, we're holding out hope for birthing robots!

After Carrie's first stint in rehab, she was let go from "Clue," which would have been such a fun movie to discuss.

"Hollywood Vice Squad" is...not fun. Not dramatic. Not interesting. Just...not.

But, it kept Carrie employed during a dark time and for that we must begrudgingly be grateful.

Apologies for the delay on this, and the questionable audio quality. We had a little mishap with Claire's microphone and we had to re-record in a very echoey room.

Anyway, Hannah and Her Sisters. Exhausting movie about exhausting people, written by an exhausting human being.

Carrie Fisher plays the wife in an unhappy marriage who has to help her 9-year-old get through the sad reality of divorce and find her own "Happily Ever After." Once again, a small made-for-TV movie has brought up topics we didn't even know we needed to discuss. For example, how can a movie that stars Carol Burnett, Rhea Pearlman, Danny DeVito, and our space grandma herself be so very forgotten?

(Also, it's pretty good!)

Watch the movie (before it disappears again!)

We're off this week, but we're sharing one of our favorite past episodes. It's Disability Pride Month, and we loved how much we got to talk about disability rights, ableism, and the lived experience of people with disabilities as we explored this little-known ABC Sunday movie, "Leave Yesterday Behind."

We'll be back July 20th!

Carrie Fisher joins a truly impressive cast, including America's sweetheart Tom Hanks, for a truly unimpressive comedy. It's like they forgot to add the funny. Watching it? Not fun. Discussing it? Fun as always.
