Virtually every one of us has had a film experience that altered us in some way, that gave us a passion, a fear, a way of looking at the world. I task my guests with talking about the five movies that have made them, well, them! We'll explore how each movie changed them, while also looking at three other influences, from the broad spectrum of their experience, that made them who they are today.

episode 17: Tara Ison
Tara Ison, author of "Reeling Through Life: How I Learned to Live, Love, and Die at the Movies," joins us for an insightful and entertaining conversation about the remarkable influence of films on her understanding of the world. Her book recounts the life lessons she has taken from films throughout her life, incorporating roughly 110 film references in a thoughtful and often very funny memoir of growing up learning about life in the glow of the silver screen. Join us, as we discuss the lax parenting of the 1970's, power without understanding, how not to lose your virginity, and how Alcatraz can change your life.
