That’s it for this week! But we want the dinner party to continue! So each week we are asking a “dinner party” question for everyone joining us here at our table.

This week, we paid tribute to the goddess of stage and screen, Maggie Smith!

So here is this week's question for the table:

What’s your favorite Maggie Smith film?

Tell us your choice in the comments and we’ll share some of your responses on next week’s podcast!

And, as always, thank you for joining us for Season 3 of The Aesthetic Arrest Podcast!

Cheers to that!
