See Also is a weekly dispatch that connects the dots of pop culture.
This week, Kate and Brodie are talking about The Girls™️: Nora, Meg, Samantha and Gabby. It's our first Toy Poodle Episode (you'll see why) and it's all about Nora Ephron's 1992 directorial debut, This is My Life. There might not be Also Alsos this week, but don't worry, there's still plenty of further reading and ideas to Add To Cart – or at least Open in New Tab.
Starring Julie "literal Marge Simpson" Kavner as hopeful stand-up comic Dottie Ingils, and Samantha Mathis and Gabby Hoffman as her daughters Erica and Opel, This is My Life is about everything that matters: mums! daughters! sisters! ambition! Carrie Fisher!
Co-written by Nora and her sister Delia, the film was adapted from Meg Wolitzer's novel This is Your Life. As a special treat for us and you, Meg was kind enough to write in to See Also with her memories of having her book adapted by Nora.

This week, Kate and Brodie dish up a buffet of recent TV recommendations, including I Love That For You, Queer as Folk, Only Murders in the Building and Stranger Things. They draw essential links to the satanic panic and The Dead Don't Die – which unfortunately means you're subjected to another frenzied update from Austin Butler's oeuvre. Lean into it.

This week, Kate and Brodie are discussing the recent HBO documentary feature The Janes (streaming on HBO in the US / Binge in Australia), an especially relevant story in light of the recent Supreme Court decision on Roe v Wade. They fuel their rage over the stripping away of reproductive rights into this episode, and chat about unhelpful reactions from smug Australians and second-wavers, and ways we can turn our helplessness into action.
Also: Baz Luhrmann's Elvis.
