March 4, 2025 • 19 mins
In this episode, Rekha and Lindsay talk about Winona and Dermot Mulroney's confusing return —since How to Make an American Quilt — Gone in the Night. The film can't decide if it's a thriller or a romantic comedy, but it's certainly obsessed with the idea that Winona is old.

October 16, 2024 • 24 mins

This time they discuss the pandemic-special Sarah Cooper: Everything's Fine that follows the titular TikTok star/comedian/political lipsyncer as she tries to host an out-of-control news program (and meets Winona's character — very briefly — along the way). Your hosts recorded this one on 4-track, for technical-difficulty reasons.
