Family Fallout: Films That Hit Home and Tugged at Our Heartstrings
Not all families fit the traditional mould, and that's what makes them fascinating. In this episode, we explore films that showcase unique family dynamics, offering both humour and heart. Katy discusses Little Miss Sunshine, a road-trip comedy where the eclectic Hoover family embarks on a journey that tests their bonds and highlights their individual quirks. Miles brings Close Encounters of the Third Kind to the table, examining how Roy Neary's obsession with extraterrestrial life impacts his family's cohesion. Join us as we delve into these stories that, while different from our own experiences, provide rich insights into the complexities of family life.
