Soderbergh Ep. 36: Let Them All Talk (2020) with Veronica Phillips

All aboard the LET THEM ALL TALK episode! Hot off of all the fun they had making THE LAUNDROMAT, Soderbergh and Meryl Streep teamed up again for a largely improvised movie about three old friends taking a boat ride with one of their nephews. And it's...great?! Joining us on the main feed is our good pal, writer and High Femme editor Veronica Phillips! We chat about letting women over 70 talk about their experiences, the inherent narcissism of creativity, going Wiest Mode, and a whole lot about BOOK CLUB (2018). We've been making jokes about covering this movie but that's because we didn't realize it's actually kind of a banger. We're stupid! Good thing Veronica is smart, though, that's why we asked her to be the guest. Fun ep!
