Show Notes

We're obsessed with the new A24 picture "Janet Planet." Director Annie Baker's debut shows the turning point between an 11-year-old girl and her eccentric mother in 1990's Western Massachusetts. Julianne Nicholson plays Janet, a single mom who relies on her daughter Lacy's advice while simultaneously craving independence. You might recognize Nicholson from the movie "August: Osage County" and the HBO series "Mare of Easttown"— she agrees with the internet that the finale should have gone down differently! In real life, she's a mom of two who wonders why PSAs had to remind parents to check in on their children at 10pm. Parenting has definitely changed since then!
