EP 18: Everyone is So Teen (Lady Bird)

This week we dive into Greta Gerwig’s Oscar nominated Lady Bird. We look at the ever complicated mother/daughter relationship, the balance between empathy for others vs yourself, and the impact adolescent relationships have on you. But first! Avery talks about her newest obsession (hint: not what you’d expect) and Rosey talks about the hidden gem Dollface. We wrap up with The 100 Best Romances of All Time according to Entertainment Weekly.
