Episode 16: The Iron Lady from What About Meryl?
Hi Streepers! This week we take on the movie that won Meryl Streep her third Oscar. It was a really interesting movie to talk about given the current political climate. It also stands as a unique take on the bio-pic genre. And of course, Meryl completely disappears into Margaret Thatcher. You can also listen on SoundCloud (http://bit.ly/2mDxjc5) or subscribe to us on iTunes (http://apple.co/2iHvd9J).

“Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become your character. And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. What we think, we become. My father always said that. And I think I am fine.”
The Iron Lady, 2011 (dir. Phyllida Lloyd)
