Paid in Puke S2E1: Muriel’s Wedding

On our Series Two opener, we gush about P.J. Hogan's 1994 very
Aussie, ABBA-tastic comedy, Muriel's Wedding, starring Toni
Collette and Rachel Griffiths. It's the perfect way to celebrate
the Time of Valens (aka Galentine's Day). Amy and Cristina count
the film among their very favorites, and Baxter had never seen
it.


Regardless, this viewing brought up some stuff for all three of
us! We touch on such topics as philandering fathers, emotionally
battered mothers, body image issues, early adulthood besties, and
inspirational musicians. It's a lot more fun than it sounds? We
also attempt Australian accents with varying degrees of success.
