We Were Watching...Babes

This week, our POCcorn segment reviews Babes. This film was written and produced by Broad City star, Ilana Glazer; who also happens to star in the film alongisde the brilliant, Michelle Buteau.

And it was so refreshing to just sit back and take in something that felt like it was made for you. Listen In!
