Needing a little zazz in your life? Fret not, because The Kidmanifesto is back with Nicole's latest, and this time we brought along our third understudy! Our very first guest and resident thespian Tom Zohar returns to discuss another Meryl and Nicole showcase, and this time they actually get to be in the same scenes! We discuss the songs, the jokes and the Ryan Murphy of it all, and try to say as little about James Corden as possible. The whole thing is only slightly less traumatizing than actual prom!

We’re back... again! Resident bombshell Anna Swanson (Film School Rejects, Little White Lies) joins us hot off the Oscar nomination to discuss BOMBSHELL! Topics include: living in a post-JOKER world, Megyn Kelly’s wallet iPhone case and what we did to ensure Brad Pitt wins an Academy Award! Also, we love Richard Kind!
