On this episode, we fill a major pop culture gap (according to Jess) for Marvin and Hanh with our discussion of Mamma Mia! and it's sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again! After much cajoling, we hunkered down and finally watched this adaptation of the stage musical featuring the music of ABBA about one daughter's ill advised plot to find our which of the three men her mother slept with is her real father. So was it good pop?

Chinese Republicans, a new play from Alex Lin
Coming to the Roundabout Theatre Company this winter, Chinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Alex Lin, directed by Chay Yew, following three high-powered businesswomen who meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder.
