This week on CinemaJaw we hit defrost as we unthaw some Ancient Relics in Film. These are the famous MacGuffins that our heroes chase, find, loose, unleash, what-have-you. Often they carry some special power, positive or negative, that drives the plot forward. We’re doing this delve into the recesses of the freezer in honor of our review of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.

Reviewed: Damsel, Love Lies Bleeding Guest: Landis Wiedner – What The EF Podcast Top 3 Gritty Love Stories in Film Trivia: Kristen Stewart/Ed Harris movie Trivia Celebrating This Month: Dan Aykroyd

This week on CinemaJaw we take a look at Gritty Love Stories in honor of our review of the latest from A24, Love Lies Bleeding… which is, you guessed it, a pretty gritty romance. We also take a look at the latest Millie Bobby Brown/Netflix vehicle which sees one Robin Wright make a return to a royal gown in the fantasy genre, Damsel.

Joining us is a guest who is both gritty and fantastic! Landis Wiedner is the creator and host of What the EF podcast, a place for people to share, laugh, and cry about their epilepsy what-the-ef moments. Landis is a writer, whose work has been published in NBCThink, The Independent, and Wired. She’s currently working on her funny memoir, My Brain Tumor’s Boyfriend.

1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="576">

Her cause is one near and dear to the hearts of us at CinemaJaw, and statistically many JawHeads too. Not to mention she is funny AF! If you or someone you know is epileptic (or even if not) we highly recommend listening to What The EF. It’s a podcast that chats and chuckles at the ridiculous, poignant, heartbreaking, and funny moments that happen with epilepsy. By adding laughter to the conversation, people can connect, lower their guards, and open themselves to vulnerable discussions. Her podcast tackles the day-to-day not talked about in the doctor’s office, like dating, careers, school, and stigma. Landis Wiedner brings in experts, celebs, and regular folks to shed light on taboo topics in the seizure sphere.

Enjoy!
