6. This week our guest was one of us! Andrea sits in the hot seat this week so she can answer our own icebreakers, feeling it’s only fair to our friends who are wonderful enough to come onto the show and get put on the spot :) It’s also her birthday month, so what better time to get to know her better! Her pick was the coming-of-age comedy “Booksmart,” wanting to talk about a film that was written by a woman, directed by a woman, and starring and crewed by even more women! We discuss what moments we missed on our first watch of the film that stood out on a rewatch, high school drama, and how this film really works in ways where others fall short. Our women in film history are Lorraine Hansberry, the trail blazing African American playright and activist who authored “A Raisin in the Sun,” and Dorothy Dandridge, the iconic star who's career was marked with triumphs, tragedy, and many trials and broke down barriers for women of color in Hollywood.
