What you can't see can hurt you.

With Emilie and Katie being scary movie lovers, we were excited to dive in to a recent thriller with the incredible Elisabeth Moss at the helm. To say we have constructive critisicm for this particular film is... an understatement.

Happy Valentines from your gals at Let's Press Play! When the modern-day romantic comedy Someone Great came out back in 2019, the three of us were in a different world. We call it: our 20's. Now we are all in our 30's and guess what, we have answered every question about love we've ever had and everything is figured out. WOW. We did it! 

Just kidding. What we do know about love, is that is shows up for you in many different forms throughout your life. And the three of us know how truly lucky we are to have each other, so it felt only fitting on a day all about love to discuss a film about female friendship, showing up for people where they're at, and allowing endings the stage so new beginnings can arrive. Basically this episode is a therapy session, sit back and relax babe. You're safe here.
