Summary

We discuss the career of Meryl Streep in light of The Devil Wears Prada 2 , insofar as we (Mark, Lawrence, Sarahlyn, and Al) have a hold of it; she's been in over 65 films! Is she really the best actor on the planet? Did Prada need a sequel? We all brought in our own experiences with her catalog, touching on Sophie's Choice , Kramer vs. Kramer , A Cry in the Dark , Adaptation , The Iron Lady , Death Becomes Her , Postcards From the Edge , Doubt , The Laundromat , Let Them All Talk , Florence Foster Jenkins , et al.
