We get a little more serious and raw on today's episode featuring Andrew, Mary-Kate's long-time best friend and other podcast co-host. It's been a long year of isolation and self-reflection, and we're glad we had the opportunity to talk it all out as a group.

On today's episode, Mae and Mary-Kate are joined by filmmaker friend Olivia Bonnette to discuss the queer cinematic masterpiece, Portrait of a Lady on Fire! This one took us on an emotional rollercoaster and we loved every minute of it. Cry, laugh, and scream at us over menial details like "an hour and a half" and "PAGE 28".  TRIGGER WARNING: Su*cide and ab*rtion are briefly discussed.
