Show Notes
<p dir="ltr">Allison Williams became a millennial icon as Marnie on HBO’s <em>Girls</em> — but her second act is even more thrilling. From <em>Get Out</em> to <em>M3GAN</em>, she’s carved out a new space as a horror star and unexpected scream queen. In this episode, Allison joins Sam to unpack what draws her to morally messy characters, and why she keeps playing women we love to hate. They dive into her newest film, <em>M3GAN 2.0</em>, and what it says about AI, parenting, and the eerie ways tech is shaping our lives. Plus, a look back at <em>Girls</em> and why Gen Z has rediscovered it with fresh eyes. Is Allison in on the joke? Absolutely. And she’s got stories.</p>
