We tend to think the child-star story begins with great success, and ends with a great fall. But what if things weren’t really so great when the success was happening? And what if something greater came out of the fall?

If gender inequality doesn’t come to mind when you think Magic Mike XXL and Showgirls, then you’re not thinking.
Fortunately, on Episode 19, I do the thinking for you!
