About this episode

The hosts discuss the cultural significance and reception of 'The Devil Wears Prada' and its sequel.

The girls who get it -- Cris, Ashwin, and Vik -- get it ("it" being the girls-and-gays-classic 'The Devil Wears Prada,' and its brand new sequel) and the girls who don't -- the rest of QID -- don't (they're not allowed on this episode). In this uncharacteristically civil conversation, the "girls who get it" discuss why "The Devil Wears Prada" has had such a hold on the public imagination and whether/how a follow-up (legacy sequel?) of it -- released 20 years after the original -- has any right to work like the original once did. Listen to the full episode for spoiler-filled thoughts on TDWP2, its fashion (Cris and Vik "get" this; Ashwin doesn't), and its critical reputation relative to the original. That's all.
