# Episode 475 – Ella McCay

On this episode, we discuss [ELLA MCCAY](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30096221/), which — based on its poster — is a movie about a woman having trouble with her shoe. Hmn. That can’t be right. Well, _whatever_ it’s about, it’s made by the legendary James L. Brooks, so we can be sure it’ll have a clear plot, strong themes, and a comprehensible emotional throughline!
