ERK invites you to his inaugural STEPMOM rewatch party with special guests LIAM AIKEN (the actor who portrays Ben in Stepmom) and GABRIELLA KAREFA-JOHNSON (VOGUE’s global fashion editor at large). Listen as the three discuss the 1998 classic starring JULIA ROBERTS and SUSAN SARANDON and why it’s the greatest movie of all time—despite it’s not so great reviews. They cover it all: the chic 90s fashion, the breathtaking set design, the relatable characters, the magical JOHN WILLIAMS score, and the empathetic direction by CHRIS COLUMBUS. An exclusive behind the scenes look at the movie that, simply put, has no notes.
