Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. (2023) + WGA week 2 + stores locking up deodorant

This Mother’s Day weekend Dave, John, and Jeff gush about Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, the sensational second feature film by writer/director Kelly Fremon Craig, adapted from the 1970 novel by Judy Blume. Starring Abby Ryder Fortson, Rachel McAdams, Kathy Bates, as three generations of ladies in this coming-of-age teen dreamed about accepting religion, friends, and the tribulations of adolescence, it’s honestly hard to talk about this movie without gushing about it, so please crack open a beer and get into the discussion with us! 

We also gripe about producers messing over writers despite having (and losing) billions of dollars, as well as pharmacy stores a la CVS and Duane Reade locking up all of their supply but then their staff being nowhere when you need anything… something has to be done before Amazon swallows them up!
