This is my first movie review. There are so many choices out there that I just picked one. I was interested in this movie when it was first released, and I watched it the day of the release on TV. In the middle of watching this movie, David came in and said that we got the domain for Stream(H)er, and the podcast was going to be a reality. That's when I decided that this is the movie that I'm going to do. 

If you don't like my choice or have another movie you would like me to review give me a shoutout on Instagram @MsMelissaRadke. You can also find me on Facebook or message or email me at [email protected]. Ask me, and I’ll try to get to it. When you share our show don’t forget #Streamher as in girl power. 

When I chose this movie I didn’t know what it would turn into. I just knew I wanted to review it. I didn’t know it would end up with six Golden Globe and six Academy Award nominations. Here is my review for Marriage Story. It’s a movie streaming on Netflix. 

Show Notes:

• [02:12] I didn't know what this movie would turn into. I just knew I wanted to review it. I didn't know it would have six Golden Globe and six Academy Award nominations.
• [02:55] This week's streaming service is Netflix. 
• [03:34] This movie is directed by Noah Baumbach. 
• [03:54] A marriage story is as plain Jane as marriage is. Once the glitter is off, we become a marriage story.
• [05:14] I wasn't rooting for anyone after watching this movie. There wasn't a bad guy. I saw both of their points. That was a plus for me.
• [06:20] Laura Dern is getting a lot of attention. She was a really great divorce lawyer.
• [07:00] Alan Alda killed it as the first divorce attorney who was too kind.
• [07:59] Kyle Bornheimer was also in the movie, but he didn't have any speaking parts. 
• [08:33] Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansen were the leads. They were both incredible. 
• [09:12] There is a scene where Adam Driver sings that didn't resonate with me.
• [09:45] How can two people who love each other so much end up so far apart? This was at the heart of the movie and this is at the heart of most marriages.
• [10:07] They have an intense discussion in the movie, yet she refers to him as "honey." I thought this was really powerful how she fell back on words and rhythms that were in her marriage. 
• [10:53] Go watch a Marriage Story. It is worth it. It deserved all of the nominations and awards. 
• [11:03] I was going to make my first Spanx review a 4 just because of the Hallmark movie girl in me. I wanted everything to be wrapped up in a bow, but I’ll give it a 5 Spanx review.  
• [11:52] Go watch it. 5 Spanx!
