Friendly Favorites: Stage Door (1937) - with Angel G. and Margot G.

This week, Angel brings us our third-ever Friendly Favorite, and our first-ever screwball. Najah describes their instant connection to Katharine Hepburn's odd sitting poses and expresses their frustration with constantly being approached by Jesus people on the street. Meanwhile, Lina gets excited about Reese Witherspoon and Julianna Margulies separating from their husbands. Angel and Margot both come armed with music recommendations — Shania and Mitski — as well as an abundance of Old Hollywood historical facts. We talk George Cukor, debate the 1950s Best Actress race, and of course, get into the lesbian implications of Kate and Ginger as roommates in the film.If you have any comments, questions, or just want a chat, you can find the pod on Instagram and Twitter, or send a message to inyourpocketpod@gmail.com.
