This week we're talking about the 2003 cult classic film, Uptown Girls. This movie was marketed as a rom-com giggly sleepover romp and then ended up being a very delicate and beautiful film about healing our inner child. It is (arguably) one of the best Brittany Murphy performances and maybe THE best performance from a child actor ever. Ever. The movie was initially panned because it never found its exact audience but was held in the public consciousness because of Sarah Edward's costuming. The whimsical and girl-forward styling and art direction of the film has kept it as a very "online" and led it to be rediscovered in the 2020s.
During this episode Madelaine and Rebecca refer to this AMAZING video multiple times:
