Show Notes
New York, New York, it's a wonderful town! Especially in black and white, as the ladies learned after watching 1979's 'Manhattan'. Woody Allen's follow-up to 'Annie Hall' only has a teensy bit of Meryl as his author ex-wife (she married HIM?!). Before we get into discussion, we talk about Danita's recent trip to New York City to watch Meryl honour her friend Robert De Niro at the 44th Chaplin Award Gala.

More from What About Meryl?
In the We Really Like Her! / What About Meryl? crossover event you’ve been waiting for, Emily and Danita are joined by Stephanie and Candis, two dynamic women and ‘Mamma Mia’ superfans, to talk about ‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again’! Come for the celebration of Cher’s glitter eyeshadow and real talk about Meryl’s limited role, stay for the women following their dreams and the power of female friendship.
We saved the best for last! Yes, it's finally time to talk about Emily's favourite film, 2009 Nancy Meyers opus 'It's Complicated'.
It's been a while since we've last recorded but as our finale looms, we take a look at the 2003 miniseries 'Angels in America'. We talk about Meryl's many roles in the series from rabbi to ghost mother, how much Al Pacino loves 'A Cry in the Dark', Mary Louise Parker and how this isn't our favourite Emma Thompson role despite her angelic persona. We also talk about some Meryl news involving Mamma Mia 2 and a somewhat 'Silkwood' reunion! Get ready for our finale with 'It's Complicated' next week!
As we're winding down, we're tackling another serious role for Meryl with 1998's 'One True Thing'. From the 'timeless mom' look Streep brings, Renee Zellweger reminding us how good of an actress she is, to William Hurt being good (but actually bad.) Tune in next week for Angels in America!
Here we go again! This week, we tackle 2008's summer smash 'Mamma Mia!' So much singing and dancing that neither of us is saying SOS. We talk Meryl's singing, Pierce Brosnan wanting to work with 'drama school crushes' and Danita identifying with Julie Walters and being okay with ending up with Stellan Skarsgård.
