Okay, so we know this is the Lisa Kudrow chapter of the Friendstravaganza, but we have to warn you: a good chunk of Real Talk turns into a Mira Sorvino lovefest - and rightly so. But even if Alex, Stew and Julio agree on how great Ms. Sorvino is, can they agree on anything else when it comes to ROMY & MICHELLE’S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION?

On paper, the math adds up: if audiences love one Phoebe, then they’ll go nuts for two Phoebes! And it certainly worked that way with critics, as ROMY AND MICHELE’S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION is certified fresh on the Tomatometer - but how does it play today? Listen to Alex & Julio as they welcome Stew from the SWO podcast and travel back to a time when feminism meant letting Alan Cumming save the day! It’s the Lisa Kudrow chapter of the Friendstravaganza!

What if Peter Pan was actually a good story, one where Wendy was a traumatized adult and Peter was a British comedian? Much like it happened with Spielberg’s Hook, audiences and critics had a hard time appreciating DROP DEAD FRED’s fresh take on the classic story... which means it’s time for The Contrarians to set the record straight. Listen to Alex & Julio as they discuss their discovery of another gem in Phoebe Cates’ filmography! (Oh and Rik Mayall’s cool too.)
