Tearjerker Films - Week 2

🎙 The Critic and the Cynic: My Girl vs. Seven Pounds Dave and Hilary continue their journey through cinematic tearjerkers in this emotional second episode of Season 2! 💧 This week, they revisit two films that tug at the heartstrings in very different ways: the coming-of-age classic My Girl (1991) and the deeply introspective drama Seven Pounds (2008). From childhood innocence and heartbreaking loss in My Girl to themes of guilt, sacrifice, and redemption in Seven Pounds, the hosts unpack why these films have left audiences reaching for tissues for years. 🔥 Highlights include: - Hilary’s teary-eyed reflections on My Girl and its unforgettable performances by Anna Chlumsky and Macaulay Culkin. - Dave’s defense of Seven Pounds as a layered, misunderstood masterpiece. - A spirited debate over Will Smith’s dramatic chops and Rosario Dawson’s impactful presence. - Musings on whether a sad ending makes or breaks a movie's emotional resonance. Laugh, cry, and reminisce as we dive deep into what makes a movie a tearjerker. Don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments—did these movies make your cry scale? 🎧 Listen now! #TheCriticAndTheCynic #MyGirl #SevenPounds #Tearjerkers #FilmDiscussion #PodcastLife
