Friday Night Movie by @pancake4tableSofia Barclay (We Are Lady Parts, Ted Lasso Season 2)This week, on Friday Night Movie! We are joined by the inimitable Sofia Barclay, who plays the villain (or rather a catalyst?) - albeit a sympathetic one - in the upcoming Peacock series We Are Lady Parts. Sofia talks all things We Are Lady Parts, as well as what it's like working with the cast of Ted Lasso, and also shares some delightful and revealing stories about what Becky was like in New York 10+ years ago.

Special guest, and advertising maestro, Bobby Buttons, returned to help the sibs process their reactions. Social justice themed ads fell flat - as Lily put it, “I couldn’t tell if they were altruistic or like, Kendall Jenner handing out Pepsi at a protest”.
