Our first edition of Actor's Club!  For this bonus episode, I enlisted the help of returning guest and friend to the show, Bill Ackerman.  Together we focus on our favorite actresses for the first half, then for the second half, we examine the versatile career of Laura Dern.  Movies mentioned include SMOOTH TALK, RAMBLING ROSE, CITIZEN RUTH, INLAND EMPIRE, and a whole lot more!  We also touch upon her incredible work in the HBO show ENLIGHTENED.  Stay tuned for another episode like this come summertime, featuring Patrick talking about a favorite actor of his.
