C*nty Classics: Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988)

Pepa, are you there? This week, Najah's first Almodóvar! We fawn over the exaggerated stylistic color, set, and cinematography choices in this iconic love letter to classic '30s screwball comedies, discuss the our favorite silly costume and plot details, and of course, Lina gets excited about a Joan Crawford reference. We also recount our experiences with Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy, Najah drools over an experience at a Japanese Barbecue restaurant, and Lina goes on a rant about her love for her favorite soprano, Laura Benanti.

If you have any comments, questions, or just want a chat, you can find the pod on Instagram and Twitter, or send a message to inyourpocketpod@gmail.com. Feel free to reach out to Lina, who's on Instagram, Twitter, and Letterboxd, and to Najah, who's also on Instagram, Twitter, and Letterboxd. Our intro song was made by Pascal Barclay. The podcast is edited by Lina Barclay.
