It’s our big bad season four finale, babes, and we're joined by actor and singer, Alanna Ubach. You Might Know Her From Euphoria, The Flight Attendant, Coco, Clockwatchers, Waiting, Meet the Fockers, Sister Act 2, Beakman’s World, Bombshell, Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce, The Brady Bunch Movie, and the Legally Blonde films. Alanna gave us all the goods on joining season two of The Flight Attendant, showing up to her Euphoria audition with a glass of wine, and her big musical number “La Llorona” in Coco. We also got to talk about two personal favorites: her portrayal of Doreen, Marcia’s lesbian BFF, in The Brady Bunch Movie (and the similarities between Doreen and Tai in Clueless), plus the indie classic, Clockwatchers, opposite an incredible ensemble of newly minted movie stars who may or may not have been a bit…cliquey. This episode was a total barn burner. Get into it now.
