Summary

Katai is back and to celebrate, she and Kelly went to the movies together IRL in order to cover Kelly Fremon Craig's adaptation of the Judy Blume novel, "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret," both of which are committed to 1) sensitively telling the story of cis-girl puberty woes and 2) using punctuation in the title (although actually it's missing a comma before "God," but we'll forgive them). They generally gush over the film (pun intended) and talk fantastic performances, humanizing the 'rents, getting misty, as well as tangent on Harry and Meghan and (because we are who we are) annoying Twitter behavior.
