Welcome to the (film) Society led by friends and co-hosts Sharilyn and Hannah. They're two funny and passionate gals who love to indulge in and share their love of movies and media. But they're also exploring why we, as humans in a society, love and connect with movies. Sometimes there will be guest experts, in and out of the film industry, invited onto the show to share their expertise and insight to add another perspective to the conversation. They talk script and character analysis, filmmaking tools and strategies, social and cultural beliefs and practices, and generally what makes a film interesting and impactful (with occasional fart jokes). The show covers the full span of film culture from popular movies, the classics, obscure indie films, international flicks, to whatever is freshly streaming! Thanks for joining, and welcome to the conversation, friends. Feel free to reach out to the show at WeLiveInAFilmSociety@gmail.com
Ok, we swear we didn't plan it like this but it is WAY too perfect that this bonus one-on-one about Federico Fellini's ultra-meta 9th film is the 9th episode of this podcast. Hannah goes deep into why she deems this a perfect film and long-time favorite of hers, while Sharilyn shares her first impressions and shows off her Italian accent. Che bellissima! It gets cerebral, psychological, and ~dreamy~. Theme music "Mal Pibidena Eka Wasantha Samayaka" by HR Jothipala. Lisence: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/legalcode
Greetings Earthlings. In today's episode, we're talking about aliens, Speilburg, Tom Cruise, and the end of humanity. Hannah and Sharilyn dissect the alien design in both the 2005 and 1953 versions of War of the Worlds. Then we're joined by writer and sci-fi expert Cody Ziglar and we discuss what we would do differently if we were to make our very own apocalyptic films. Most importantly, we theorize about why pants were indestructible in this film. Theme music "Mal Pibidena Eka Wasantha Samayaka" by HR Jothipala.

Sit down and strap in for our first hate-watch episode! (Straps not actually necessary, please enjoy however you'd like.) But brace yourselves because we really are talking about 50 Shades of Grey, consent, WAP's, kinks, and the good, bad, and ugly side of sex education. We have a very special and cool guest, Dr. Devon Price, a social psychologist doing all sorts of sex research in NYC. She joins us in this sex-positive episode to talk about how we can rid ourselves of that nasty shame around sex and all the good (and pleasure) that doing so can bring! Enjoy responsibly. ;) Theme music "Mal Pibidena Eka Wasantha Samayaka" by HR Jothipala. Lisence: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/legalcode
Time for a stroll down memory lane in this episode with special guest Jessica Clemons! The (film) Society dissects the visual style of the film and gets hella existential when discussing Kayla's character arc. This episode also goes deep into 2000s childhood from cringe-worthy Paul Frank diaries to Hannah's favorite Missy Elliot music video, and we answer once and for all who made vampires popular first. Grab some bagel bites and go back in time with us. Theme music "Mal Pibidena Eka Wasantha Samayaka" by HR Jothipala. Lisence: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/legalcode
We're picking up with co-director Cristina Costantini right where we left off with Kareem. Both Sharilyn and Hannah get inspired hearing about Cristina's journey into the world of documentary feature filmmaking and will now and forevermore take Cristina's small Argentinian father to all important meetings... but only metaphorically... listen and you'll get it. Get stoked for more behind-the-scenes insights into what it took to get the film made on a shoestring budget and indulge in many of Cristina's fond and funny memories of her time working with the one and only Walter Mercado.

This week, we're getting glamorously spiritual and celebrating Latin astrology icon Walter Mercado! Sharilyn reminisces about growing up with Walter on the television and Hannah shares her first impressions of this beloved legend. The society has a chat with Kareem Tabsch, one of the 2 directors on the documentary, and dive into how the stars aligned to make this movie, as well as Kareem's favorite moment with Walter. Lots of good vibes and mucho mucho amor to go around.
Spider men, women, and nonbinary friends, lend us your ears! This episode is allll Spider-Man, and we're blessed to be joined by comedian and Spiderman expert, Eric Owusu. We learn all about Sharilyn's crushes, how Hannah really feels about Toby Maguire with eyeliner, siq animation, and the significance of Miles Morales in this beautiful multiverse.
