About this episode

Annie Rose Malamet and guest Lucé Tomlin-Brenner discuss the film Ghost World and its themes relevant to millennial girlhood.

Recurring guest Lucé Tomlin-Brenner is back to talk about every weird millennial girl's filmic awakening, Ghost World ! While not the kind of film I typically cover on the show, I think our deep dive ended up being full of topics that are quite relevant to GGG. This is a meaty episode full of discussions about subculture, poser violence, hipster ethos in the early aughts, girlhood and friendship, why having a job fucking sucks, age gap relationships, and so much more.
