You Might Know Her From
Queer comedians Damian Bellino and Anne Rodeman are best friends who are devoted to actresses and each other. These pop culture savants chew the fat about what they’re so into and what they’re decidedly not. Each episode they lead a brilliant and sometimes idiotic conversation with a different actress, delving into the guest's life, work, and the hogwash that comes along with being overqualified and underutilized.
