I Smell Pop Culture: Glitter

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

In a town meeting held in S2E8 “The Ins and Outs of Inns”, Lorelai accuses Jess of controlling the weather… and writing the movie “Glitter”. This fan favorite line is a serious accusation, but we’re going to explore who REALLY wrote that fateful Mariah Carey film. 

We’re talking to screenwriter Kate Lanier about her history in the New York club scene, how she wrote iconic films like “What’s Love Got to Do with It” and “Set It Off”, and of course… the REAL story of how “Glitter” made it to the silver screen.
