In Nora Ephron’s Heartburn, you find so many pearls that she used in other movies and books going forward; it’s like reading the history of all your favorite rom-com films inside a romantic comedy/drama. The film version, directed by Mike Nichols and starring Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson came out in 1986 – and who better to host the movie than Broad City star Abbi Jacobson, who will appear with her wife, actress Jodi Balfour (For All Mankind), at the Vidiots screening.
