It's a Mara Wilson double feature today as we cover two 1990s classics, Mrs. Doubtfire and Matilda. Join us as we squee over tiny overalls and swoon over mixed plaids.

Editor's note: JoJo's lovely kids were part of our recording session, and as a result there was a lot of background noise to be edited out. I ran it through a noise remover, and so at times she sounds a little over-processed and robotic, but trust me, it sounds better than it did! Thank you for your understanding.

We're back from our short summer break with some classic comedies! Join us as we discuss the costumes in Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Spaceballs. A fun time is had by all, including the guys redoing Jojo's gutters who really wanted to make sure their hammering was heard (sorry about that).
