Please welcome to the podcast stage Dame Judi Dench and her book "And Furthermore."Britain’s most beloved actress regaled us with tales of every single goddamn play in which she’s performed, her friendship with Harvey Weinstein, Shakespeare, wet kilts, her love of champagne, her feud on the set of "Tomorrow Never Dies," and staying loyal to British designers. Then we ponder the age-old question, "What’s harder to do: DRAMA or COMEDY"?

Fancy a cuppa? This week we broke form and read a novel by historian/actress Millie Bobby Browncalled“Nineteen Steps.”This crazy Brit really said, I need to do a fictional retelling of my Nan’s experience during The Blitz. We discuss dating Air Force hotties, dwelling disparities, watching "Stranger Things" on DVD, if "Pick-me" girls existed in the 40s, writing a book via WhatsApp, not asking Jon Bon Jovi to sing at your wedding, and all things WWII!

PS: If you’re not hiring an Australian woman to write a book based on your Grandma’s dating life, are you really living life?
