Plus Kids Only Segment featuring Elizabeth Smith.Clip Finder:Parenting in the Digital Age: "The goal is not perfection. The goal is not to be bound up with some idea that if we don't get it right, our kids are going to be damaged forever."— Adam Holz [00:05:32 → 00:05:41]#ViralMovies: "It's actually a little bit shocking to go back and watch. I mean, you can just go down the list, 16 candles, Ghostbusters, and be like, oh, my, the Goonies."— Adam Holz [00:13:27 → 00:13:39]Viral Topic: Rediscovering Classic MoviesQuote: "I think that we will find it has more content than you remember."— Adam Holz [00:13:51 → 00:13:54]The Impact of Entertainment on Worldview: "Our goal is to give parents a little bit of hope here.
