Special guest Irene Turner joins Craig and John for a new round of “How Would This Be a Movie?”
In this episode, we look at Jake Halpern’s article on Canada-bound refugees, Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s moving personal ad for her husband, and the porn-filled saga of Prenda Law.
Irene’s latest film, The Most Hated Woman in America, debuts March 24th on Netflix.
Stay tuned after the closing credits for a bonus segment from the new rom-com podcast You Had Us at Hello by Tess Morris and Billy Mernit.
