This week, Jeanette and Mero come together to talk about the 1997 American Drama Film, The Ice Storm. Directed by Ang Lee, written by James Schamus, and based on a book of the same name by Rick Moody. The films focuses on two dysfunctional New Canaan, Connecticut, upperclass families who try to deal with tumultuous social changes of the early 1970s, and their escapism through alcohol, adultery, and sexual experimentation. From upperclass problems to a Nixon mask, this drama is packed with awkward conversations and mixed signals for all to cringe and adore.
