The Film Hobbyist
Join your host Lydia in her garret room and enjoy a cozy collection of essays about movies and ideas.
Movies have been Lydia’s hobby since she began pouring over the film pullout section of the Friday paper as a 10-year-old. She’s kept up with weekly releases and reviews ever since, building up an encyclopedic knowledge of film trivia and a reputation for reliable recommendations to friends and family. With a background in creative writing and experience in performing, Lydia is delighted to share her passion for film.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s: The Limits of Escapism
Grab a cup of coffee and sit with Lydia as she discusses a truly iconic movie poster film, one that she finds to be both a valuable character study and a movie she doesn’t particularly like.
