How Do You Drew | The Drew Barrymore Fan PodcastShow Notes
Good morning, Angels! This week we’re flashing back to the year 2000 to celebrate the action, fashion, and unstoppable energy of McG’s Charlie’s Angels — the film that redefined what a fun, female-led blockbuster about friendship could be (and gave us peak badass Drew Barrymore sexily slaying alongside the fantastic Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu). Tune in for exclusive behind-the-scenes stories, our favorite moments, and a look at the movie’s lasting legacy. Twenty-five years later, it’s still totally "kicking your ass!" Join our Patreon!

If you look up the word "adorable" in the dictionary, you'd probably see an illustration of the magazine we're covering in this episode! We're talking about Drew Barrymore's March 1998 Teen People cover feature, for the magazine's second ever issue. We’re diving into this cute-as-can-be photo shoot by frequent Drew collaborator Peggy Sirota, in which a bewigged DB gets silly and frolics with her dog Flossy. In the article by Trish Deitch, Drew’s discussing her whirlwind schedule following Ever After, her thoughts on fame, her love for Beck, and some recently gleaned info on the then-status of her relationship with Luke Wilson. Plus, we’re revisiting her advocacy for the Female Health Foundation and Wildlife Waystation, including via a charity tee shirt for Planet Hollywood designed by illustrator Lane Smith. From the photo shoot's fun facts to some wonderfully nostalgic Drew history, there’s so much to unpack in this late-’90s time capsule!

Decades before Drew Barrymore was given the title of “blonde bombshell”, another iconic star was associated with that moniker. This week we are joined by writer and historian Sophia D’Aurelio Adair to discuss the original Plantinum Blonde, Jean Harlow. We gush over the process of being researchers & collectors and go through a list of interesting parallels our favorite subjects share (like their Pisces star signs and unconventional relationships with their mom-managers). Plus we get into the Barrymore co-star connections, our suspected homage to Ms. Harlow in Batman Forever, and their shared responsibility for ruining the eyebrows of several generations of ladies. We hope you enjoy this fun episode about the woman Drew herself once called “a dynamic movie star and comedienne.”
If there’s one thing that most Drewbies can agree on, it’s that 1995 was one of the peak Drew Barrymore eras! This week we’re taking you through an incredible magazine article from that year. The UK Premiere June 1995 cover feature was written by frequent Drew-collaborator Chris Heath and is jam packed with interesting tidbits (like which New Kids on the Block member she once kissed and her poem about love & poo). We’ll go backstage at a Hole show, get into shocking stories from Drew’s time in treatment, and learn new details about her divorce from Jeremy Thomas. Plus there are breadcrumbs about some projects that never came to be, like a Batman Forever Sugar action figure and another film with director Tamra Davis (co-starring a beloved SNL alum). Accompanied by truly iconic and colorful photos taken by David LaChapelle, this magazine feature is one not to be missed!

The Hammonds are really falling apart now! This week we're recapping the final episodes of Santa Clarita Diet season 1, as Sheila experiences some eye-popping changes, Joel finally tracks down the elusive Serbian book, and the family gets a potential shot at a cure. Things get increasingly chaotic and feral, all the way down to Drew's hairstyle! Throughout our episode, we're enjoying the hotness of Drew Barrymore in Sheila's “ultimate form,” still cracking up over Timothy Olyphant's slightly unhinged performance, and trying to remember if dangling threads get wrapped up in season 2. We hope you enjoy feasting on this wrap-up to our deliciously fun summer series!
