Jen & Sarah from the Movies & Us Podcast join Melvin to discuss an early 2010's indie classic, Frances Ha! From it's deep relatability to it's clever humor, the three explore what makes the film stand out as a testament to growing up even when you're all grown up.
Topics:
- (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 40-minutes discussing three trailers - The Monkey, the live-action Snow White, and Kraven the Hunter - and ranking their excitement based on these wildly different films. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
- Jen & Sarah just celebrated their 6-year podcasting anniversary. Melvin spends some time asking about what they’ve learned throughout that experience.
- There’s a showcase of girlhood and sisterhood that is gently explored throughout the film.
- The film is in black and white, and Melvin feels this highlights the "color" experienced in Frances and her relationships.
- Money is consistently an issue throughout the movie, and Sarah, Jen, and Mel all appreciated how the film doesn't imply that having more money is the solution to Frances' problems.
- Celebrating an ending that ties every theme together.
- Jen, "Man, I love this type of movie and would love to see more of these types of small stories get funded and onto the big screen."
