Jen and Sarah from Movies and Us join Nicole Barlow and Ryan Pak to talk about Kogonada's 2017 directorial debut, Columbus. The film is intimate and captures smaller moments. Hammock's gorgeous ambient score is the perfect compliment to the visuals. Kogonada would follow up Columbus with 2021's After Yang and he would direct episodes of Disney Plus' Star Wars: Acoylte series.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
