**Blindspot Warning: This year’s to-be-released film Dude—featuring our girl Awkwafina who played Constance in Ocean’s 8—will be Olivia Milch’s directorial debut, featuring four young women navigating the end of high school. Not only did I flub the name of the film during this podcast, but I didn’t offer credit where credit is due. My apologies. <3 Rochelle
