Imagine a world where the entire global infrastructure is crippled by a rapidly spreading novel virus with no cure. Shouldn’t be too hard to imagine something like that after living through similar circumstances these past couple years!
Contagion tells the story (through multiple perspectives) of a global pandemic from Patient Zero, through the chaos and shutdown of society, to an eventual cure, and all the struggles in between. Some would say this movie feels a little too real to watch now, but it makes us wonder… is Steven Soderbergh a time traveler? Was he trying to warn us? What will he show us next?!
If there’s only one thing you learn from Contagion, let it be this: wash your hands and stop touching your face!

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.
