    Episode 46: It's Complicated

    We saved the best for last! Yes, it's finally time to talk about Emily's favourite film, 2009 Nancy Meyers opus 'It's Complicated'. Prepare for a final episode full of shocking revelations as Danita reveals her true feelings about Jane and Jake Adler and their meddling kids, and Emily gushes over Steve Martin and warm chocolate croissants. And stay tuned until the end of the episode for some general reflections, including Danita and Emily's fave What About Meryl? memories and what's next for the podcast!

    Episode 45: Angels in America

    It's been a while since we've last recorded but as our finale looms, we take a look at the 2003 miniseries 'Angels in America'. We talk about Meryl's many roles in the series from rabbi to ghost mother, how much Al Pacino loves 'A Cry in the Dark', Mary Louise Parker and how this isn't our favourite Emma Thompson role despite her angelic persona. We also talk about some Meryl news involving Mamma Mia 2 and a somewhat 'Silkwood' reunion! Get ready for our finale with 'It's Complicated' next week!

    Episode 44: One True Thing

    As we're winding down, we're tackling another serious role for Meryl with 1998's 'One True Thing'. From the 'timeless mom' look Streep brings, Renee Zellweger reminding us how good of an actress she is, to William Hurt being good (but actually bad.) Tune in next week for Angels in America!

    Episode 43: Mamma Mia!

    Here we go again! This week, we tackle 2008's summer smash 'Mamma Mia!' So much singing and dancing that neither of us is saying SOS. We talk Meryl's singing, Pierce Brosnan wanting to work with 'drama school crushes' and Danita identifying with Julie Walters and being okay with ending up with Stellan Skarsgård.

    Episode 42: Prime

    Episode 41: The Giver

    It's time to go back to school with 2014's 'The Giver'! We talk about the book Emily read (and hated!)as a child, that Taylor Swift cameo, tarnished Jonas brothers memories, and a whole lot more. Apologies for the quiet audio in this week's episode but we're looking into the problems. We'll be off for two weeks and return with 'Prime'!

    Episode 40: A Cry in the Dark

    We're back in the '80s again this week with 'A Cry in the Dark'! Did the dingo really eat Lindy Chamberlain's baby? Or did it GET her baby? We discuss this and more as we dissect what may be one of Meryl's most underrated (and best?) performances. (Be advised, there's some audio feedback in the background this week! We apologize in advance for any issues this causes.) Let us know what you think at whataboutmeryl@gmail.com or let us know via Facebook and Twitter @whataboutmeryl.
