Everyone Needs To Watch 'Booksmart'

Ep. 38
•

We've got lots of interesting topics to tuck into this week. Ivanka's awkward interaction at the G20 (why?) is the gift that just keeps giving; Gwyneth Paltrow staged a GOOP festival with 'Fyre' undertones in London and we psycho-analyse the unexpected presence of a fedora at the christening of Archie Mountbatten-Windsor. Big topic: Booksmart: Olivia Wilde's directorial debut, which comes out TODAY and is, not to exaggerate, potentially the best film since Citizen Kane. Izzy and Grace get deep on the need for movies that showcase nuances female experiences in an actually FUN way. J'adore, Olivia.
