Description

Actress and comedian Alana Johnston (Self Esteem Party) joins to discuss the 1995 coming-of-age drama NOW AND THEN starring Christina Ricci, Thora Birch, Gaby Hoffmann and Ashleigh Aston Moore. Director Lesli Linka Glatter helmed this period piece about four adolescent friends growing up in a small Indiana town in 1970, bookended by scenes of the same quartet in adulthood played by Rosie O'Donnell, Melanie Griffith, Demi Moore, and Rita Wilson. NOW AND THEN came and went upon release in 1995, but decades worth of slumber party viewings had bolstered the film's cult reputation as a rare cinematic bildungsroman to focus on female characters. With the always-hilarious Johnston, we delve into this '90s staple along with diversions into Casper, Canadian television, Euphoria, Romeo + Juliet and much, much more!
