A Man And A Woman
Join Lia and Special Guest Lexi as we do a dive deep into the 2016 South Korean film, "A Man and a Woman". Directed by Lee Yoon-ki (Love Talk, One Day), this spare and affecting story follows two individuals, both struggling with their personal lives, who find solace and unexpected love in each other. Starring Jeon Do-yeon and Gong Yoo, the film explores the complexities of human emotions, Gong Yoo's butt (sorry but let's be real... many people have checked out the movie for this reason), and Lia can't resist doing "Am I The A**hole" pondering on at least one character. Also this is a love story NOT a romance, I repeat...love story > romance.

Afternoona Uncensored: Why Cliffhangers Keep Us Coming Back For More
On this month's Uncensored episode, Megan and Lia touch on cliffhangers--a tried-and-true narrative technique that writers use to keep their audience on the hook. It's all about creating suspense and leaving the story unresolved at a pivotal moment, making readers itching to know what happens next. Writers employ cliffhangers strategically, often at the end of chapters, episodes, or installments, to maintain audience interest in continuing on.
Cliffhangers come in many forms, from surprising plot twists to life-changing decisions, and they can be found across various storytelling mediums, including books, TV shows, and even serialized podcasts. They've been a staple of storytelling for centuries, dating back to the serialized novels of the Victorian era, and continue to be a popular technique in contemporary literature and entertainment. So, the next time you find yourself cursing a Drama writer for leaving you hanging, just remember: it's all part of the grand tradition of storytelling.
And let's be real, we wouldn't have it any other way.
