Must-watch movie alert, ’90s fans! The 1993 Martin Scorsese film The Age of Innocence, starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Daniel Day Lewis and the ethereal Winona Ryder, is unforgettable. Elaina unpacks the complexities of adultery in this historical romantic drama, set in 1800s New York. She analyzes Newland Archer's (Lewis’) emotional affair with Ellen (Pfeiffer), May Welland's (Ryder’s) “manipulation” in a turning point scene, and asks the question – is it worth it? Oh, we go there! Your host is not afraid to explore the significance of sacrifice that Lewis masterfully unfolds in his performance. Plus, let’s bask in the Oscar-winning costumes, and did we mention Winona forever? Elaina relates the importance of empathy and open communication to building strong, healthy relationships and lives – with no regrets. Plus, the ending you won’t see coming!

Thank you for listening, and don't forget to shine bright!
