Rachel and Lauren welcome Stephen Kent (@Stephen_Kent89), co-host of the Star Wars-themed political podcast “Beltway Banthas” (@Beltwaybanthas) to talk about 1992’s Patriot Games. Topics include: the way Sean Bean’s characters have died in films & TV (so, spoilers, “Game Of Thrones”) and the political nature of 90s action melodrama films versus today’s action films. The panel also…goes into the history of the Jack Ryan franchise, plays behind the scene trivia, and makes light of Harrison Ford’s famous “finger” hand- gesture. (Sponsored by HausUrban.com)

The ladies go over their feelings for the 1991 Drama “Regarding Henry," a film that just so happens to be J.J Abrams writing debut. Along the way, they discuss background on what made Harrison pick the film, his co-stars (including Annette Bening), prove iTunes wrong, discuss the NYC locations (one of which has an attachment to Carrie Fisher), and the rights and wrongs of film title grammar. Slight “Star Trek: Heart of Darkness” and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” Spoilers.

“So it’s not what you’re given, it’s how you take it.” Carrie Fisher. Lauren and Rachel try to say goodbye to Carrie Fisher with personal stories, letters from listeners, and a brief sit-down with one of Carrie's co-stars. Lauren briefly chats with Maria Thayer (Tru TV's "Those Who Can't", "The Mindy Project", "Forgetting Sarah Marshall") who played Carrie's daughter in the TV Movie, "Romancing The Bride"(2005). Big thanks to Maria and the lovely, brave people who sent us their stories and memories of Carrie's influence as a mental health and addiction advocate.

“Carrie was one-of-a-kind…brilliant, original. Funny and emotionally fearless. She lived her life, bravely. We will miss her." Harrison Ford

Bright Lights, a documentary on Carrie and her mother Debbie, is currently on HBO and HBOGO.
