    Love is always tailor made, and your girlfriend is a ghost. The Stree episode!

    Liza loved this movie, Meghan fell asleep. So it's business as usual over here on our spooky Halloween episode! Join writing one Meghan and sewing one Liza as we unravel the 2018 Amar Kaushik comedy-horror film, Stree, costumes by Sheetal Sharma, to solve the most important question in the entire movie, which is could would and should our hero, the tailor, make a dress in thirty-one minutes. In this episode we discuss what the word dress even means in this context, the basic shape and construction of a lehenga, a poetic definition of the Chanderi sari, and the completely bonkers phenomenon of people who are good at a thing but don’t enjoy doing it. We also discuss ghosts that can read, the meaning of friendship, red flags and how to ignore them, and men being so comfortable existing that they can watch horror movies alone in the dark with all the windows open while they drift off to sleep in pile of late night cereal. Come to find out which of us wants to buy a sweater-vest for her man, stay to find out which of us loves zombies. Spoiler: it's the same one, and it's not the one you think.
