This episode kicks off with Rita and Marisa sharing their insights on routines, early bedtimes, and the unspoken rules of not texting outside certain hours. We laugh along with their poker anecdotes and the texting habits inspired by Larry David's "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Amidst the summer heat, we find solace in the cool ambiance of Greenpoint Palace Bar, where even the mascot Zelda knows how to keep it chill.

Ever wondered which 80s movie character you'd be? We transport you back to that neon era, reminiscing about films like "The Goonies" and "License to Drive." Our love for Cory Feldman and the poignant works of Brett Easton Ellis sparks a deep dive into the problematic yet beloved classics like "Pretty in Pink" and "16 Candles." From Greta Gerwig to Diablo Cody, we celebrate female filmmakers who have reshaped cinema, and yes, we have some thoughts on the "Barbie" movie worth tuning in for.

Love and addiction, two timeless themes, are candidly dissected as we reflect on past relationships and personal growth. Listen to stories about the challenges of dating with mental health conditions, the ever-evolving perspectives on love, and the pain of betrayal. We also confront our tendencies towards addiction, discussing microdosing, the Sinclair method, and the delicate balance of recreational use. We stroll down memory lane to our first concerts and childhood antics, painting a picture of the moments that made us who we are today. We wrap up the episode by choosing our favorite 'Jennifer' from the 80s.

***Correction- Ally Sheedy plays the mother in Single Drunk Female (not Jennifer Jason Leigh)
