Portland artists Jennifer Jones (aka JJ All The Way) and Laura Glazer join Megan and Rob to discuss a common passion: the films of the legendary Agnès Varda!

JJ and Laura tell us how their AGNÈS VARDA FOREVER collaborative project came about (you may have seen the flyers around Portland), and we bounce back and forth in conversation between their very complementary film selections: Mur Murs (1981) and Documenteur (1981). We also weigh the pros and cons of binging a director's filmography versus taking your time, admire Agnès' sincere openness, and talk about the iconic appearance of both cotton candy and ice cream in these Los Angeles-shot films!

This week Megan and Rob take a trip down memory lane to reflect on the legendary 2004 time capsule, Mean Girls (dir. Mark Waters, written by Tina Fey), and then in a similar vein, chat about Samantha Stark's Framing Britney Spears (2021).

Our guest host is none other than the incredible Emilly Prado!  Emilly made her radio debut a few years back with our own Megan Hattie when they hosted an advice and music show together on Portland's XRAY FM called "Is Butter A Carb?"

We discuss how Mean Girls holds up years later, and remember with horror Britney's awful treatment by the relentless paparazzi and the media at large. Has teen cinema gotten any better since the aughts? Are the tabloids less gross now? Is Never Been Kissed more problematic than Mean Girls? Will this be the last time Megan brings up her love for Tim Meadows? What advice did Rob ask Megan and Emilly for back in their radio days? Listen for all of this and more!
