Fiction Fixation

This episode we deep dive into this 1994 classic, starring Tom Hanks, Sally Field and Robin Wright. Watching this movie as a adult, definitely changes some perspective. For a man who was considered 'the local idiot', Forest did more with his life than Rose and Courtney put together. The layer of historical presence woven into Forest's tale is **chef's kiss**. Not to mention the little jokes that we never noticed as kids. Sadly, it also brought one along the startling realization that Jenny may very well be the villain here.

Girlboss Energy (Movie Recap, Erin Brockovitch)

Our recap this week is an OG tale of Girlbossing to the max, starring Julia Roberts as a badass paralegal. This based on a true story movie is a cautionary tale of why Attorneys should listen to their paralegals more often (speaking from past experience here). Erin literally got in the trenches for her clients, AND THATS WHATS UP.

Sorry For The Snow Edits, Suzanne (Movie Recap, A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes)

This recap, we apologize to Suzanne Collins for still believing young Snow is an absolute snack. This 2023 film is based of a novel by the same title. Set in the early years of the Hunger Games universe, our MC is none other than President Snow... as a teen. You may be thinking to yourself, this is his villain origin story, I'm going to find out WHO caused Snow to be the way he is. And you're right, you will. But there is no empathy here. Snow, even as a teen, was and always has been, his own villain. The only thing he has going for him is that he's hot AF. Other than that? Total sociopath. There was never any redemption for him.
