"White-lady aspirational materialism and a special kind of empty that feels warm", is the beating heart at the center of Nancy Meyers movies, says our guest Alex in this episode, and boy did she hit the nail on the head. It's an alternative universe where nothing is really wrong, except perhaps some of the basics of filmmaking. But let's not go into it with our eyes hooded in suspicion of California vineyard owners and London-based wedding-dress designers. We also cover the 1961 version of The Parent Trap, and the material's origin's in Nazi Germany (for real).
