Josh is joined by recurring guest Hannah Couture for a very logical double feature. First, they discuss Kelly Fremon Craig's "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret." (Beginning-39:54) and how Craig captured the world created by Judy Blume in her most famous book including how she managed to make the misadventures of pre-teen girls not feel uncomfortable to watch, the 70s decor and costume design, Rachel McAdams giving a memorable performance as the title character's mom, its handling of religion and much more! Then, (39:55-End) they talk about "How to Blow Up a Pipeline" and how the movie was surprisingly a heist movie, the performances from young cast and how the movie managed to give each of the actors their own moment, the ways in which the movie conveyed its political messaging and much more!
