Cinematic Identity

This episode, I'm talking with my cousin Daisy about her obsession with Fever Pitch, the unexpected movie she's going to pass on to her son, and memorable movie-watching experiences from her high school years with her family and her now-husband.

In this episode, my aunt shares special childhood moviegoing memories and movies she associates with the people she loves.

Some updates since recording this episode:

• The Strand is now three screens. Evidently it is among the ten longest operating movie theaters in the US.

This week, I'm talking with my friend Liz about historical inaccuracies in movies, Studio Ghibli, and learning to love horror movies.

This is a continuation of the conversation I had last week with my friend Lea. This part of the conversation was all about screenwriting!

This week I'm talking with my friend Lea about how studying film changed the way she watches movies, childhood movie obsessions, and our love for Mindy Kaling.

A meandering conversation in which I discover Helen loves Baby Driver and Lady Bird. Plus: Helen as a child cutting her own hair after being *inspired* by a movie and Helen as a teenager getting kicked out of the movie theater. 

Chatting with my brother about his favorite line from The Green Mile, our bonding over movies, and what it's like for him to see actors singing in movies as someone who studied vocal performance. Plus, more eccentric moviegoing experiences.

This episode, I'm talking with my cousin Jack about Paul Newman, the '70s, and watching movies in quarantine.

In this episode, my mom and I discuss her reaction to my dad's episode, childhood memories, the Oscars, and why she doesn't like going to the movies alone.

In this episode, my dad talks about the magic of going to the movies as a child and the 'eccentric' movie theater experiences that have punctuated his adulthood.
