Bonus: Analyzing Steel Magnolias With The Untitled Gen-X Podcast

Did you love the movie Steel Magnolias in the 80s/early 90s? I did, but rewatching it recently brought up some thoughts I never would have had as a kid when I watched it MANY times.

Instead of a regular Dear Nina episode this week, I’m directing you to a deep dive discussion I had with Lori at the The Untitled Gen-X Podcast. We left no stone of Steel Magnolias unturned, including the friendships it portrayed, like why did Julia Roberts' character have NO friends?! 

 The Untitled Gen-X Podcast is an all around really fun podcast. Each episode is dedicated to a different movie TV show music or some aspect of the genX experience.

You can find the Untitled Gen-X Podcast anywhere you get your podcasts.
