Today on the podcast we’re returning from our break (and yet somehow still entering vacation mode) as Anita, Caro, and special guest Charlie Jane Anders take a look at Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo’s colorful comedy BARB & STAR GO TO VISTA DEL MAR. Is this movie a timely escape or a bit of a bad trip? Listen in to find out what we found so polarizing.
