When we make a poster a comment on social media,
what's the most we typically expect will come of it?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Likes?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
I mean maybe a little engagement, some praise.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
How about landing your dream job as a director.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Okay, I would take that over a few likes.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
So let me talk about Edgar Wright. He's a filmmaker.

the Dead ant Man, Scott Pilgrim Versus the World.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Yeah, his movies have tons of different styles.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
You've probably seen some of those. He also likes to

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.
