Episode 494: The First Wives Club

The First Wives Club (1996)Watch the trailer!

Our final honorary pairing of 2025 finds us looking at the work of an amazing actress we lost too soon. We lost Diane Keaton on October 11th, 2025, so we're looking at two of her films, one of which netted her an Oscar nomination! First up, it's director Hugh Wilson's take on what it's like to find yourself divorced in your 50s. In 1996's "The First Wives Club," we follow the story of four college friends, Elice Elliot Atchison (Goldie Hawn), Brenda Morelli Cushman (Bette Midler), Annie MacDuggan Paradis (Keaton), and Cynthia Swann Griffin (Stockard Channing), who've lost touch with each other a few decades after their college graduation. The suicide of one brings the remaining three back together, and friendship rekindles. Over dinner, after the usual niceties, all three confess that their lives haven't turned out at all the way they had hoped. They decide to join forces in a scheme to get revenge on their ex-husbands while, at the same time, beginning to figure out what they want the next chapter of their individual and collective lives to look like. But it's the realization, after a falling out, of what they could accomplish together that truly sets them on their way forward! Also starring Maggie Smith, Sarah Jessica Parker, Dan Hedaya, Victor Garber, Stephen Collins, Marcia Gay Harden, and Bronson Pinchot!
