Episode notes

Director, writer and actor Mary Bronstein (IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU, YEAST) joins us on today’s episode to walk us through her life at the movies and program the highlights as her personal film festival, from WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE to I LOVE LUCY, with a side quest into TRAINSPOTTING, SCREAM and REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE.

Does her journey to the Paris Theater in NYC to see THE AGE OF INNOCENCE make it in? Were the practical effects in DICK TRACY memorable enough to land it a place on the board?
