We decided to bring you a slice of joy this week with 2007\u2032s Waitress<\/i>. Starring Keri Russell as a small town waitress and inventive pie master stuck in a harmful marriage, the heartwarming film would eventually be adapted to the megabit musical with songs from Sara Bareilles. Its beginnings, however, were marked by sadness: in the months before its Sundance premiere, the film\u2019s writer\/director\/costar Adrienne Shelly was tragically murdered. Waitress<\/i> won over Sundance, becoming a summer hit for Fox Searchlight and generating praise for both Russell\u2019s performance and Shelly\u2019s delicate tone. However, the film lingered in the shadow of the previous year\u2019s Sundance\/Searchlight Oscar success of Little Miss Sunshine<\/i> despite earning fans.<\/p>\n

This episode, we talk about Keri Russell\u2019s career and how Waitress<\/i> falls between her two definitive television success: Felicity<\/i> and The Americans<\/i>. We also discuss the Mickey Mouse Club, the era of movies where characters don\u2019t have abortions, and Celine Dion\u2019s upcoming screen debut.<\/p>\n

Topics also include various types of pie, the Sundance Houndog<\/i> controversy, and the power of Felicity cutting her hair.<\/p>\n
