We’re wrapping up Marathon May by inviting our friend who suggested year’s theme of time travel romances, Lara! She introduces us to Somewhere in Time, an ethereal movie that seems to have been filmed through an Instagram filter. In this episode Katie calls in from a nursing home, express our disappointment with this film’s ending, and pitch a new gender-swapped 80s movie someone should definitely be making.
Meet our guest, Lara!
This week we're joined by the brainchild of the time travel romance theme for Marathon May, Lara! She blogs at lara-mom.com and sometimes reviews films from a parenting perspective. You can also follow her on Twitter and Instagram!
