Get ready to have the curtains pulled back on Catherine Hardwick's "Thirteen," a movie that holds a mirror up to adolescence with unsettling clarity. Guest co-host, MaxFun Producer Palmira Muñiz and I reflect on the emotional odyssey within this film's raw portrayal of youth, exploring the controversial layers of manipulation, survival, and the rocky landscape of female friendships. We also don't shy away from examining the ethical conundrums faced when young actors bring such vivid, and often painful, stories to life. It's a discussion that not only dissects the story on screen but also the broader implications it has within society and the film industry itself.

But this episode isn't all heavy-hearted introspection; join us as we stroll down memory lane, reminiscing about SoCal school life and the cultural touchstones of the early 2000s. Palmira and I break down the trends that defined an era, from the infamous Skechers craze to the quirks of teenage rebellion. Tying it all together, we introduce fresh segments and insights that promise to keep you hooked and perhaps, see a bit of your own story reflected back at you. Stay tuned, follow the journey, and let’s keep the conversation as authentic as the films we love.
