In this week’s episode, Aidan and Aditi explore the innovative film Boyhood (2014), shot over 12 years to authentically capture a boy named Mason's journey from childhood to adulthood. They discuss director Richard Linklater's unique narrative approach and relate it to their own childhood experiences, sharing personal stories and excerpts from Aditi’s childhood diary. Our hosts discuss aging and adulthood, particularly through the lens of post-college life. They explore how Gen Z's views on "growing up" are shaped by the daunting conditions of modern society, including the looming threat of a climate apocalypse. __ Hosted by: Aditi Misra & Aidan Taylor Producer: Shei Yu | Content Writers: Aditi Misra & Aidan Taylor I Editorial Review: Saadia Khan I Sound Designer & Editor: Ben Alleman I Immigrantly Theme Music: Simon Hutchinson | Other Music: Epidemic Sound | Cover art design: Josephine Chai | Executive Producer: Saadia Khan Please share the love and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts & Spotify to help more people find us!  If you want to share your thoughts about this or other episodes, reach out at [email protected] Banterly is an Immigrantly Media Production.
