Amy Heckerling

Jan 29, 2018

She's one of the most successful female filmmakers, but she hasn't had a hit in over 20 years.  In this episode, we look at the films of Amy Heckerling, the filmmaker that brought us Clueless and Look Who's Talking.  Have Heckerling's recent films gotten a fair shake?  Does a film with a baby voiced by Bruce Willis deserve critical praise?  Listen as we discuss these questions and more with special guest, Molly Staron.
