Just two grown up women who miss doing their homework! We met in university when we both studied costume design. Years later, we work in film and TV and love our jobs - but we do miss doing research!

    In today's episode, Hanna discusses how human bodies are transformed for the screen - and what toxicity lies behind it. Sorry we're a day late - again! We are just really busy being the boss babes we are!
