Description
The ladies are joined by dialect coach Samara Bay, from new IHeartRadio podcast Permission To Speak, to talk about accents, voices and power. Is there a more famous example of a "bad" accent than Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins and is it really even that bad? Then a night email about the movie Road To Wellville prompts a talk about Kellogg's Corn Flakes as health food fad of the past, and graham crackers as very ineffective anti-masturbation tool. And of course, Coronavirus! We discuss how misinformation spreads virally online and why the real culprit in any health pandemic or natural disaster is really human error and lack of preparation. Plus the tale of a cat who was cursed and then saved by a magical charm. Then it's a night call from listener Leah about a very existential spring break getaway, which leads to a reevaluation of Girls In Hoodies classic Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers (2012). Has it stood the test of time and space melting since then? Does it play like a period piece or have something real to say? Emily has a new Spring Breakers theory, and Molly and Tess decide we agree. All this and more on an all new Night Call!
