Episode 131: She-Devil (1989) // Well...um...Meryl Streep is in it?
This week on Back in the Day with John and Jay, we’re diving into the devilishly semi-funny 1989 comedy She-Devil. Join us as we explore this wickedly entertaining film that blends revenge, laughter, and a whole lot of empowerment.
John and Jay will break down the plot, where frumpy housewife Ruth Patchett (Roseanne Barr) transforms into a fierce, self-made woman after discovering her husband Bob (Ed Begley Jr.) is having an affair with glamorous romance novelist Mary Fisher (Meryl Streep). We’ll discuss how Ruth’s ingenious and hilarious schemes for revenge make this movie a darkly comedic gem.
Get ready for a laugh-out-loud discussion on the standout performances, from Roseanne Barr’s portrayal of Ruth’s transformation to Meryl Streep’s delightfully over-the-top performance as the vain and clueless Mary. We’ll also highlight the film’s sharp humor, clever writing, and the empowering message that resonates throughout Ruth’s journey.
