Strong Female Lead

**Drums, horns, classy house band** Welcome to Late Night with SFL! On this week's episode, Tessa and Tricia chat about the SFLs of Late Night - written by Mindy Kaling and starring Mindy Kaling and Emma Thompson. While this may be Mindy Kaling's story, it's pretty clear that it is actually Tessa's (which makes Hilary both happy and angry). The hosts chat about diversity hires, the boys club that is the writers room, and Emma Thompson's killer wardrobe. It really stole the show.

A word from our host: Tessa would like to preface this episode by letting our listeners know that she has never and doesn't ever plan on holding anyone hostage😉

On this week's episode, Tessa and Tricia celebrate the SFLs of 9-5, starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton. They discuss the power of a shared enemy, how 9-5 was way ahead of its time, Tessa's love for a "mature" comedy, and how this may have been the original version of The Hangover. Tricia shares her love for a tight script (and a tight butt) and Tessa wants to see the deleted scenes of these ladies making crafts and smoking blunts. Also, Jane, Lily, Dolly and the ladies of SFL want you to know that no one likes a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot.
