Memories of MoviesMostly Martha and Big NightJoin Bethany and Joel chatting about food, a weird topic for us both because of how we are both picky eaters but we also both really enjoy food movies! Nothing to bring folks together like a great meal and people obsessed with making it, as both our movies explore. Good times. Stay tuned as well for a small extra segment on the NYT Best Movies of the 21st Century and our picks for that.

2025-08-262h 09Memories of MoviesWinter's Bone & Leave No TraceJoin Joel and Bethany to talk about Debra Granik's beautiful determination to tell stories about people we don't usually hear stories about. As a warning, this is a sad set of movies, but also a really beautiful and tender set. What do the stories about the outcasts of society say about community care and how well our social net actually works?

2025-08-122h 27Memories of MoviesYour Sister's Sister & Sh*thouseJoin Joel and Bethany as we dive into two very messy and very human stories. What happens when you make terrible mistakes but still love each other? How do you make friends in college and learn to be a grown up? We look at the two deeply human movies Your Sister’s Sister and Sh*thouse and muse on our own college experience a bit.
