The Reel Study

🌸 This week on The Reel Study, we’re celebrating the beginning of Women’s History Month by spotlighting visionary female directors, starting with Kasi Lemmons and her powerful films Eve’s Bayou and Talk to Me. From a haunting Southern Gothic coming-of-age story rooted in memory and family secrets to an electrifying portrait of a controversial radio icon during a turbulent political era, these films showcase Lemmons’ distinct voice and storytelling range.

With bold performances, unforgettable one-liners, and stories about friendship, loyalty, and ambition, this week’s pairing reminds us how comedy can be both wildly entertaining and culturally impactful.

Before the discussion, catch up on The Reel News for the latest movie headlines, or check out Reel Roundup, where the panel reviews new films currently in theatres or on streaming platforms.
