Living An Authentic Life with Elli McDine

Moody Movie Club

Show Notes

Moody Movies: Synecdoche, New York (2008), The Worst Person in the World (2021), I Saw the TV Glow (2024)

Kylie & Elliott are joined by Elli McDine to discuss three movies that explore identity and what it means to live an authentic life. Along the way, they think about what it means to build a life in a burning house, insist on the necessity of play and curiosity, feel the ambiguity of endings, and recognize the simultaneous pain and power of opening your chest.
