Evan starts this week by recapping two feature-length films he saw from the Boston Israeli Film Festival (1:29). He talks about Nir Bergman\'s HERE WE ARE, a drama about a father\'s changing relationship with his autistic son, and Yohanan Weller\'s LOVE IN SUSPENDERS, a romcom about finding love again later in life. Then Megan and Dave review Zoe Wittock\'s JUMBO (13:04), romantic drama about a woman who falls in love with an amusement park ride. Next, we all discuss Jessie Barr\'s SOPHIE JONES (28:25), a coming-of-age story about a teenager processing the grief of her mother\'s death. Lastly, we cover Amy Poehler\'s MOXIE (44:52), a dramedy about a teenager who takes on sexism at her high school by starting a feminist zine. And on this week\'s Patreon exclusive audio, we celebrate the 35th anniversary of PRETTY IN PINK with an in-depth discussion about the Howard Deutch/John Hughes 80s classic.\\xa0
