    Hi! Sorry it's been so long! It's just Maria and Julia this week, so we sit down to discuss a formative fave of Julia's - Mary-Kate & Ashley masterpiece, Switching Goals (1999)! We talk through through the famous twins' "acting" trajectory, Maria's fashion journey, and the gender binary. Highlights include the onscreen divorce WAITING to happen, Michael Cera's first cinematic cameo, and the girly vs. sporty dichotomy.
