This episode dives into a second look at Pride and Prejudice through the eyes of Mary Bennet in The Other Bennet Sister. We look at the dangers and pitfalls of a victim mentality and the best way to help yourself and those around you out of this trap. Modern culture has made us become more introspective. We look into ourselves and find pity, we look at everyone around us and find fault. We've begun cutting people off at the drop of the hat whether it be family, friends, spouses. In this new take on Pride and Prejudice we see a combination of honest growth and unforgiving selfishness. Watch the full episode and decide whether you agree.

Comparing and contrasting two films 40 years apart we look at how the society's views on divorce change. First came Kramer vs. Kramer from 1979 starring Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman, and exactly 40 years later in 2019 Marriage Story with Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson. With guest star Raymond Tittmann we look at the different perspectives regarding marriage. What qualifies as a successful marriage? What is the purpose of marriage? What are a man's and a woman's roles? How do we practically achieve our goals? What role does a career play in a marriage and how does that differ for men and for women?

In this episode we take a deep dive into the cultural movement known as Mommy Noir. In the films Night Bitch, If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, Hamnet, and A Lost Daughter the women struggle with motherhood and each has unique solutions to their issues, anywhere from watching a play to drinking in parking lots with strangers. This episode deals with motherhood honestly; the beauty and the pain. Motherhood is born in suffering and the mothers on this podcast get into exactly what that means.
