Rachel and Lauren discuss Harrison Ford's 2002 film “K-19: Widowmaker”, co-starring Peter Sarsgaard and Liam Neeson, and directed by Oscar Winner Kathryn Bigelow. After a discussion of accents, the actors, and love of K-Bigs, the ladies spend the second half of the episode talking about their favorite female directors, with special focus on Patty Jenkins (“Wonder Woman”), Ava Duvernay (“Selma”, “13th” and “A Wrinkle In Time”), and Leslye Headland (“Bachelorette” and “Sleeping with Other People”).
