Friends are there through thick and thin. From the simple things in life, like needing a shoulder to cry on, to the times you need someone to passionately kiss before you drive a car over a canyon edge. In this episode, Clare and Alaina discuss each character's past and motivations, and why they’re so compatible with their counterparts. There’s a lot of characters we go over (14) so be warned, this is a long episode. We also take some time to discuss how the cinematography adds to these character-driven stories. For example, how being in black and white is used to enhance Frances Ha, and the use of lavish landscape shots in both Stand By Me and Thelma and Louise. Be sure to join Clare and Alaina as they discuss which friends they would be most compatible with and so much more! Disclosure: In the episode, Alaina accidentally says that Teddy’s father stormed Dunkirk (when it’s really Normandy) and Clare says “The Untouchables” instead of “The Intouchables”. Hey, no one is perfect, but we’re here to call ourselves out before the haters can do it for us.
