What movie would you erase from your memory so you could experience it for the first time again? That’s the Titanic, Iceberg question that starts this episode of 50 Eggs.
This episode takes a trip back to 1996, when I was 14, living in Texas, staying up way too late, and watching whatever happened to be on television. One night, two completely unexpected movies came along and blew my 14-year-old mind.
I had no idea what I was watching, who made these movies, or what was coming next. I just knew I had never experienced anything like them before.
We talk about nostalgia, growing up with movies, the strange way films become tied to specific moments in our lives, and why I wouldn’t actually want to erase those memories at all.
Because sometimes the movie isn’t the thing you want back.
It’s the kid who watched it.
