Silver Screen Sisters
Once upon a time, Sophie asked Billie, “Wanna start a podcast about 80s movies?”
Billie said, “Uh, no. I hate 80s movies.”
And the Silver Screen Sisters Podcast was born.
In truth, we just needed an education, as neither of us had watched many 80s movies. Who’s John Hughes? What are The Outsiders?
These are questions we ask. Because we have no clue.
And don’t even begin to ask us how to pronounce names.
We invite you to join us as we discover what makes the 80s such an iconic time for cinema and why people come back to them again and again.

Episode 48 - Our First Time Watching Sophie's Choice
And yes, that's the title of the film, based on a book by William Styron. This wasn't a movie that Sophie picked for us to watch. Just to clarify. :)
Directed by Alan J. Pakula, it stars Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, and Peter MacNicol and could rival even Shakespeare's most tragic of plays. The story centers around the story of a Holocaust survivor, a Polish Catholic woman, and her Jewish American boyfriend. A young writer named Stingo bears witness to their spiral into darkness, even going so far as calling them friends.
Needless to say, Sophie and I had a lot to talk about, especially the choices everybody made.
***Trigger warning: This episode includes discussed around mental illness, suicide, and the Holocaust. If you need someone to talk to, please reach out and call the national hotline 988. We're happy you're here.
