From camp classics to capitalist cautionary tales, we read between the reels to expose what the script doesn’t tell you 📽️🌹 New episodes drop every Saturday on Patreon, then publicly on Wednesday Visit www.cinemarchmedia.com and patreon.com/cinemarchmedia for more information.

S1E38 - Ordinary People (1980): Portrait of a Family Drowning

This is one of our most personal discussions yet — about grief, control, and the quiet revolutions that happen inside a family. Ordinary People isn’t just our favorite drama; it’s a mirror for what happens when love becomes performance and silence becomes survival.

This episode is part of our November Birthday Month celebration — a chance for you to get to know our family a little better, including our honorary co-host, Myron the cat, who supervised this edit by purring through the final mix.

Listen, think, feel, and maybe call home after.
