To kick off our BlessedGiving 2021 series, we're doing something a little different this year; instead of exploring auteur's "blessed" films - we've asked some of our friends of the pod to come on and talk about movies that they think are totally blessed! And what better way to kick off this series all about giving thanks, than the incomparable and criminally underrated POPSTAR! We're joined by No. 1 Popstar fan, Lizzie Jouett to revisit this comedy cult classic. Is this film even more relevant now than when it was released? Does it still hold up? Does this film understand modern celeb culture better than any other film? Does Chase Dreams owe his entire career to Conner4Real? Why is every song in this movie a certified banger (justice for Finest Girl's Academy Award)? Which celeb cameo DOESN'T land? A trip down 7 Days In Hell memory lane also has us asking, does Kit Harington have range? PLUS Lizzie attempts to guess the plot to the Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore two hander BLENDED. The good, the blessed, the Conner4Real of it all on this week's episode!
