Episode 91: Shiva Baby
Hello lovely queers! Today Alicia and Sarah are talking about the wonderfully claustrophobic 2020 film Shiva Baby. The movie takes place in a tight 72 minutes over the course of one afternoon, mostly at, you guessed it, a shiva. It revolves around Hot Mess Hot Bi Girl Danielle, who gets wrapped up in a TON of drama involving her sugar daddy, her ex-girlfriend, her parents, and a screaming baby. This movie is great and we also just found out they are making it into an HBO series, so yay!
