    This week, we're flying solo to discuss one of Julia's faves - Romy & Michele's High School Reunion (1997). We talk about everything ranging from Glee, Justin Theroux's pointy nose, and how Harvey Weinstein tried to ruin Mira Sorvino's career.

    Matinée fully supports the Black Lives Matter movement & the protests going on around the world. We have each made personal monetary donations, and vow to centre more Black voices on the podcast moving forward.
