About this episode
If you're a lover of movies, there is, without a doubt, a disturbing movie (or several) that you saw when you were too young to process it. With imagery and scenes that have lodged themselves in your brain. And since the memory of the discomfort that movie brought you is still there somewhere, it changed us in a small but meaningful way. For this bonus episode, Julian, Madeline and Emilio decide to spend some time digging into those movies, and what kind of relationship we have with them now. What movie, ostensibly OK for kids, did not sit well with Madeline? What dark and depraved movie did Emilio mistakenly believe was going to be an action movie? And to end the episode, Julian delves deep into the moment he was subjected to a horror movie he was way too young to see, and unpacks the ripple effects of this premature screening that are still with him today.
