Buckle up, Drewbies, because we’re taking a ride back to 2001's Riding in Cars with Boys! In honor of the film’s 25th anniversary, we’re exploring Drew Barrymore’s intense, deeply personal transformation into real life writer Beverly Donofrio. We're deep diving her complicated relationship with director Penny Marshall and discussing how the emotional filming experience helped Drew see her own mother in a whole new light. Plus, we’re enjoying the beautiful performances by Steve Zahn and Brittany Murphy, pointing out all the fun little Easter eggs & behind the scenes tidbits, and exploring why an Oscar campaign for Drew fizzled out. This one is a fascinating chapter in Drew’s career and we have plenty to say about it!

If you look up the word "adorable" in the dictionary, you'd probably see an illustration of the magazine we're covering in this episode! We're talking about Drew Barrymore's March 1998 Teen People cover feature, for the magazine's second ever issue. We’re diving into this cute-as-can-be photo shoot by frequent Drew collaborator Peggy Sirota, in which a bewigged DB gets silly and frolics with her dog Flossy. In the article by Trish Deitch, Drew’s discussing her whirlwind schedule following Ever After, her thoughts on fame, her love for Beck, and some recently gleaned info on the then-status of her relationship with Luke Wilson. Plus, we’re revisiting her advocacy for the Female Health Foundation and Wildlife Waystation, including via a charity tee shirt for Planet Hollywood designed by illustrator Lane Smith. From the photo shoot's fun facts to some wonderfully nostalgic Drew history, there’s so much to unpack in this late-’90s time capsule!

Decades before Drew Barrymore was given the title of “blonde bombshell”, another iconic star was associated with that moniker. This week we are joined by writer and historian Sophia D’Aurelio Adair to discuss the original Plantinum Blonde, Jean Harlow. We gush over the process of being researchers & collectors and go through a list of interesting parallels our favorite subjects share (like their Pisces star signs and unconventional relationships with their mom-managers). Plus we get into the Barrymore co-star connections, our suspected homage to Ms. Harlow in Batman Forever, and their shared responsibility for ruining the eyebrows of several generations of ladies. We hope you enjoy this fun episode about the woman Drew herself once called “a dynamic movie star and comedienne.” Find Sophia online: Vitaphone Zone and Harlow Heaven Join our Patreon for exclusive episodes & more:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/howdoyoudrew⁠⁠ Visit our website for episode galleries & links: ⁠⁠howdoyoudrew.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow the show's Instagram to connect with us & other Drewbies: ⁠⁠@howdoyoudrewpod⁠⁠ Visit our Drew Barrymore virtual museum: ⁠⁠thedrewseum.com⁠⁠ Follow The Drewseum on Instagram for more Drew content: ⁠⁠@drewseum⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe to stay in the loop: ⁠⁠How Do You Drew newsletter⁠

If there’s one thing that most Drewbies can agree on, it’s that 1995 was one of the peak Drew Barrymore eras! This week we’re taking you through an incredible magazine article from that year. The UK Premiere June 1995 cover feature was written by frequent Drew-collaborator Chris Heath and is jam packed with interesting tidbits (like which New Kids on the Block member she once kissed and her poem about love & poo). We’ll go backstage at a Hole show, get into shocking stories from Drew’s time in treatment, and learn new details about her divorce from Jeremy Thomas. Plus there are breadcrumbs about some projects that never came to be, like a Batman Forever Sugar action figure and another film with director Tamra Davis (co-starring a beloved SNL alum). Accompanied by truly iconic and colorful photos taken by David LaChapelle, this magazine feature is one not to be missed!

The Hammonds are really falling apart now! This week we're recapping the final episodes of Santa Clarita Diet season 1, as Sheila experiences some eye-popping changes, Joel finally tracks down the elusive Serbian book, and the family gets a potential shot at a cure. Things get increasingly chaotic and feral, all the way down to Drew's hairstyle! Throughout our episode, we're enjoying the hotness of Drew Barrymore in Sheila's “ultimate form,” still cracking up over Timothy Olyphant's slightly unhinged performance, and trying to remember if dangling threads get wrapped up in season 2.

You think you know, but you have no idea. Remember back in the early 2000s when MTV's amazing documentary style show Diary took you into the every day lives of your favorite celebs? Our girl Drew Barrymore had an incredible episode that aired in October 2001 and we finally dusted off a VHS tape containing the program to have it digitized! We're discussing Drew's struggles during the aftermath of 9/11, her sweet visit with then-husband Tom Green, and the tour of her fab Flower Films offices. Also included are fun appearances by her dogs, coworkers, and friends (including Molly Shannon), making it mandatory viewing for all Drewbies! This is the Diary of Drew Blyth Barrymore Green.

A blonde '90s hair flip. Cigarette-in-hand red carpet appearances. A supposedly "washed-up" former child star working behind the counter of a coffee shop and living on her own at 15 years old. It's time to dive into one of the most pivotal and often overlooked periods of Drew Barrymore's life. Between 1990 and 1991, a newly sober and newly emancipated teenage Drew was rebuilding from the ground up: attending AA meetings, releasing her bestselling memoir Little Girl Lost, taking odd jobs to pay the bills, and fighting to be taken seriously as an actress again. Along the way, she collected a few tattoos, a couple boyfriends, a driver's license she may or may not have immediately lost, and roles in future cult classics like Poison Ivy and Guncrazy. Drew's big comeback was just around the corner! As she put it in 1991: "I just hope that I make the right choices and get to be an actress for the rest of my life."

Just months after the release of 1992's Poison Ivy, Drew Barrymore’s comeback story took an even more powerful turn with her acclaimed, Golden Globe-nominated performance in Guncrazy. Determined to land the role of troubled outsider Anita, Drew fought hard for the part — ultimately channeling her own vulnerability, rebellion, and resilience into one of the rawest performances of her career. With fearless direction from Tamra Davis and a fantastic supporting performance by James LeGros, the "lovers on the run" film became an underrated cult classic. Guncrazy was also proof that the then-16-year-old Drew Barrymore was capable of far more than Hollywood had given her credit for. We're getting into all of the nitty-gritty details of the movie, sharing many stories you've likely never heard before!

This episode was originally released July 9, 2024 and is now being rereleased with a new intro and minor edits. That girl is poison! Yes the time has finally come for us to dive into discussing Drew Barrymore’s first bad girl role as the titular Poison Ivy. Considered by Drew herself to be the kickstart of her big post-rehab comeback, the 1992 movie has long been a fan favorite with Drewbies. We’re here with all the behind the scenes quotes and tidbits via our extensive vintage magazine archive and years of research. Plus we have a blast rewatching the film and laughing about stick-on tattoos, Sara Gilbert’s spot on narration, copious amounts of LA rain, french twist hairstyles, sexy saxophone music, and the word scangy.

Back in 1984, Hollywood royalty was reborn in the form of a nine-year-old with unstoppable ambition and an already-iconic screen presence: Drew Barrymore. This week, we’re diving into a Vanity Fair magazine profile that features little Drew as photographed by legendary Hollywood glamour icon George Hurrell in a full-circle nod to her famous family. Inside the article, we uncover unrealized projects, early branding ideas, and the first clear signs of Drew’s ambition beyond acting—as a future producer, director, and creative force. At the same time, she’s balancing extraordinary fame with everyday kid life, from dance classes to shopping trips to pitch-perfect celebrity impressions, making this a fascinating snapshot of a star already in the making.

What happens when one of Hollywood’s most powerful directors becomes a guiding force in a child star’s life? This week, we’re diving into one of the most meaningful relationships in Drew Barrymore’s life: her decades-long bond with legendary director Steven Spielberg.  From their first meetings during auditions for Poltergeist and E.T. to the steadfast support he’s offered her through life’s many chapters, we explore how Spielberg became a true father figure to Drew and continues to be so 45 years later.
