But we're joined by Toronto Star columnist/pop culture decoder Shinan Govani to discuss the film, Julia Child and the most delicious bruschetta ever.

We're going way way back to the olden times for 1981's The French Lieutenant's Woman. A highly revered film but we're not huge fans of the film and not one of her favourite roles according to Meryl!

"Should be banned from the airwaves!" We hope Sister Aloysius doesn't feel the same way about us as she does "Frosty the Snowman" because we have no doubt(s) about her, or Meryl's incredible performance in 'Doubt'. Join us(along with special guest and internet friend Chris Hanna!) for a full hour of discussion of the Oscar-nominated John Patrick Shanley film. Did Father Flynn do it? Is Sister Aloysius related to Miranda Priestley? How is Amy Adams not an Oscar winner yet? Will we ever stop missing Philip Seymour Hoffman? How will we ever be able to thank John Patrick Shanley for introducing Meryl and Viola? SO. MANY. QUESTIONS.

This week, we're in the Great Depression, thanks to 1987's 'Ironweed'. Not even a rousing musical interlude Meryl can save this true bore of a film, which includes what may be the saddest handjob in history and Nathan Lane in full ghost regalia.

New York, New York, it's a wonderful town! Especially in black and white, as the ladies learned after watching 1979's 'Manhattan'. Woody Allen's follow-up to 'Annie Hall' only has a teensy bit of Meryl as his author ex-wife (she married HIM?!). Before we get into discussion, we talk about Danita's recent trip to New York City to watch Meryl honour her friend Robert De Niro at the 44th Chaplin Award Gala.

Meryl plays the late Karen Silkwood, a nuclear plant employee and champion of worker's rights. Kurt Russell and Cher co-star as total babes. We cover Meryl's mullet, "Silkwood showers," a possible (but unconfirmed) Meryl/Mike Nichols feud, and Cher's incredible performance (which, according to Danita, may overshadow Meryl's).

There's lots to chew on as the film showcases Meryl's supporting skills and ice cube eating abilities in the early 00s. We also talk about everything eyes-related from Denzel's cute glasses to Liev Schrieber's handsome pupils.

This week, we went on a Meryl-fueled field trip to the TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto on the snowiest day of the year. We wanted to see the 1978 classic The Deer Hunter on the big screen because neither of us had seen it before (!!!). Emily ships Meryl and Robert (who can blame her?), while Danita wonders if this movie is all it's cracked up to be. Make sure to find us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Tumblr. If you're digging us, leave a review - we love hearing from you!…

We break away from the Meryl Box in honour of our special guest, Movie/TV Columnist (Globe & Mail, Metro, Toronto Star) Johanna Schneller! She joins us to talk 2002's meta-comedy 'Adaptation' and discuss Meryl's take on author Susan Orlean, Chris Cooper's sexiness, and Nicolas Cage embodying Charlie Kaufman's writer's block (not to mention his weight problem, which Meryl points out hilariously).

This week, we tackle one of the heaviest films of Meryl's career with one of her career-defining roles in 1982's 'Sophie's Choice'. It wasn't easy to talk about the themes in the film but Meryl's performance was worth the Oscar. Also, Danita talks about sexy she finds Kevin Kline.

The ladies aren't happy about this week's film, 1993's The House of the Spirits. A movie where Meryl levitates objects and everybody tries to hide it?! How can that be?! Also there's so much unnecessary sexual assault and whitewashing and we can't stand it.
