The Queen of Quips takes a Seat at the Round Table: Part 3

Ever wonder what your high school English teacher would say about literature if she was a little buzzed? Then Keep It Lit is the podcast for you! Each week, former teacher Laura Herrick invites a friend to stop by to discuss a compelling short story while knocking back a few tasty themed cocktails.

Wrapping up our series on Dorothy Parker, we review the 1994 movie "Dorothy Parker and the Vicious Circle." Despite the star-studded cast list, it's a real stinker, but that didn't stop us from talking about it for over an hour.

Listen and decide for yourself!
