Episode 478: Actresses Who Make Everything Better

Mikey, Dave, and #TwitterlessDrEarl invite in the Spawn of Ryfun, the pride of TyTy, Georgia, Lil G, Garrison Ryfun to discuss those very actors.

First up, a little Word Up, finding out who thinks what about J-Lo & A-Rod... the impact of Disney+ Marvel movies... and predictions on move box offices.

Then, a list of the ladies who we love to see show up in films, some character actresses, some GuGu, some Garfunkel & Oates, and which Mara is better. And Kristy McNicol.
