We may not exactly be God, but we are definitely here for Margaret this week as we queen out on 2023’s adaptation of Judy Blume’s “Are You There God? it’s Me, Margaret.” Rachel McAdams glows in her mom era, giving us so many nuances in her own coming of age as Barbara Simon. We’ll buy Kathy Bates as a Jewish grandmother in New York, but what if it was Caroline Aaron? We discuss parallels to Eighth Grade, PEN15 and A Little Princess, plus our own history being friends with the girls when we were 12, including the opportunity to play Mall Madness on a porch. We also tangent on the BSAs of Juno, performative prayer, sexy Jesus and the unlikely library of STARZ shows.
