They talk about their love for John Hughes, the secret beauty of the "garden state," how Jen broke into acting, landing her first gig on 30 ROCK, and later how some studios wanted her to sign contracts to regulate her weight. They also discuss how racism plays into our beauty standards. Y'all this one is GOOD.
