A Walk (Down Memory Lane) to Remember: The Movies that Shaped Us
Show Notes

If you're between 25 and 45, or just have an affinity for films of the '90s and early aughts, you may have moments of nostalgia today as I dive into the movies that shaped us.

Much to my husband’s dismay, I’ve never seen Braveheart, Die Hard or Pulp Fiction. There’s a whole genre of film I can quote without thinking, though, and many of you love it too.

Join me for hands-down our most conversational episode yet; I needed to distract myself for half an hour, and I’m delighted to have y'all along for the ride.

Last week we chatted in my Instagram stories about the most pivotal movies of our formative years: Clueless, A Walk to Remember, Titanic, Never Been Kissed, Coyote Ugly, Legally Blonde and other classics.

Today we discuss the laughable messages teen films taught us, soundtracks that slap ya straight in the tear ducts, and lines we know by heart even when we can’t recall what day it is.  

Enjoy references to Pacey leasing Joey a wall, Heath Ledger's jawline, Jane Austen and Shakespeare plotlines in 1990s scripts, and the bittersweet honor of SAT championships. 
 
Did you catch Britney's oeuvre, Crossroads? How many times did you see Leo sink below the icy water on a big screen? Did Romeo + Juliet send you into seizures? Do you still believe taking off your glasses is a full makeover?

Let’s discuss! Take a listen, and then let me know what I misremembered and what’s worthy of being missed in the age of streaming cinema.

Hop in my way-back machine and let's pretend we're not in a pandemic. Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
