Working Girl - a podcast by Ryan & Bev Ellis

Join Ryan for a solo trip back to the era of big shoulder pads and huge hair in this 506th edition of Have You Ever Seen. Working Girl represents the first time a Mike Nichols film has been hashed out on this channel since the fall of 2014. His feminist venture into the comedy arena does something The Graduate didn't. It gets funnier as it goes along. Melanie Griffith's character has long been considered an icon of woman empowerment. How much ARE we supposed to root for Tess though? For good reasons or not, she's lying to everyone around her, including the surprisingly loose Harrison Ford. Even though Ford & Sigourney Weaver aren't in their comfort zones in these roles, the two of them and Griffith make a terrific love triangle in Working Girl. So let a certain body of water run as you settle in for a monologue about a rom-com set in the corporate world that remains fun and funny 35 years later.
