- The boss-being-mean-to-an-assistant plot is called great and realistic; Set It Up is mentioned as this week's two-assistant version.
- Meryl Streep's hair and look are called stylish, cool and probably her best look; Emily Blunt's breakout role is also named.
- Andy's pre-makeover sweaters are praised, but her Steve Madden-esque loafers and black tights with slingback heels are a hard no.
- The film's picture of how that generation works at the office is called prescient foreshadowing of millennials.
- Anna Wintour's reputation (transcribed 'Anna Winter') is said to have aged best because of the film, which was based on a book by her former assistant, citing an Alison Herman piece for The Ringer; others are not positive that is the case.
- A Teen Vogue sequel idea leads to a tangent about The Hills, where bosses came out worse.
- The final pick is the boss being mean to an assistant, called the best version of that plot; being able to sympathize with the boss is credited.
