HBIC Drew Barrymore dropped in for a nice visit on Saturday to chat about her brand new movie (and directorial debut) Whip It. She brought along a team of roller derby bad asses and charmed her way to all of our hearts. She talked about the cast’s month of derby training (can you imagine? A month learning how to destroy on roller skates with Drew, Ellen Page, Zoe Bell, Kristin Wiig and Juliette Lewis?!?! OMG) and tackling her first project as a director - particularly her love of the soundtrack. Man, I bet this girl is just the realest. How can I get in on that derby training camp?!
