  • Lemon, It's February
    Feb 7 2025

    After a long hiatus, I'm back to offer a pep talk to my listeners (and honestly, also to myself) about events that happened over the last couple months. I do get candid, political, and somewhat vulnerable this time around, So bear with me on that,

    But afterwards, I talk about films I've seen over the past month like Emilia Perez, Juror #2, Quiz Lady, A Time to Love and a Time to Die, and more. I also offer Book, TV, Video Game, and Podcast recommendations, and there are more of those to come on future episodes!

    I discuss what I watched last month, what I'm reading, what I'm listening to, and events I've attended, then I briefly discuss the importance of community and the community I hope to build based off our shared love of movies and commitment to compassion and empathy.

    *This is my first mini-episode in a while, and the format might still need a few tweaks.
