In preparation for Barbie later this summer, we\u2019re covering Greta Gerwig\u2019s two solo directorial efforts, starting with 2017\u2019s Lady Bird. We discuss the flawed and familiar character of Lady Bird, the confident and mature directing from Gerwig, and we determine what physical attachment Lucas Hedges needs in each movie (in this movie, he needs a hug).
Also, why we hate when characters sit in the middle seat in the back of a car. (Recorded May 7th, 2023.)
