"Please, Lord, make me the biggest star the world has ever known so that I may get far, far away from this place. Amen."

The Wives Colangelo are kicking off the Halloween season by discussing a young woman who will not accept a life she does not deserve, the titular PEARL. Discussions include the liberating excitement of seeing an adult film for the first time, the weird ways repression can manifest (like that scarecrow), how hard it is to accept when strict parents have a point, and the soul-crushing reality of your best not being enough. It's okay, Pearl, you'll always be a star to us!
