In this episode of Talkin’ Film Club, Dan and James turn their attention to Coming-of-age movies, a theme that feels especially timely as James prepares to leave home for university…

They pick their favourite Coming-of-age movies, from classics like Stand By Me and Say Anything to modern gems like Lady Bird and Y Tu Mamá También, and along the way explore why the genre endures, what makes these films so powerful and relatable across generations, and how they capture the universal rites of passage we all go through. 

Talkin’ Film Club is a companion piece to our regular ‘You Talkin’ to Me?’ Film Podcast.
