EPISODE 24: FIRST WIDOWS CLUB

This week, Karen and Janet gab with journalist Justin Finch about the pleasures-- guilty or otherwise-- of watching onscreen female characters getting even with their lying, cheating, and possibly dead husbands. Specifically, they take a closer look at the 1996 classic comedy, The First Wives Club, and compare it with the more recent (and more excellent) Steve McQueen-helmed heist thriller, Widows. It's a one-two punch for our season finale!
