Description

Has a song ever transported you back to a time in your childhood? What is your "Once Upon a December?" Join Jessica as she delves into the magic that is memory, and the way Anastasia demonstrates our brain's ability to hold, hide and release things from our pasts. The 90's was obsessed with the concept of repressed memories, and Anastasia was a fantastical and gorgeous way to explore the concept. Of course, an episode wouldn't be complete without a GAME TIME! We'll have some olfactory fun as Sarah makes sense of certain scents. What smells trigger memories for you? Come finish out our exploration of Anastasia with a Journey to the Past, through memory.
