On this episode, KB is joined by Liana, a passionate film lover whose love for movies spans decades, from classic coming-of-age stories to horror that’s as gritty as it is emotionally resonant. She shares how the films of her childhood, like The Outsiders and Field of Dreams, laid the foundation for her appreciation of storytelling, family bonds, and even nostalgia's power to heal.
She also reveals how her favorite films challenge the typical narrative, with a focus on genuine character development and emotional depth. You'll discover why underrated gems like Peggy Sue Got Married and Strange Darling are worth revisiting, even if critics didn’t crown them hits. She dives into the importance of story over genre, highlighting how movies like Control and Road to Perdition offer profound lessons on imperfection, mortality, and human connection.
There's horror talk too, including why The Shining and Halloween 2 still evoke strong feelings, and how the experiences behind the scenes can influence your relationship with these classics. She shares her thoughts on modern horror, trauma, and the emotional depths movies can reach, emphasizing that it’s about the story, not just the scares.
