Jen Yamato on 'Streets of Fire'

from Feeling Seen · host Jen Yamato, Jordan Crucchiola, Christian Dueñas, Marissa Flaxbart

Esteemed film critic and entertainment journalist Jen Yamato (LA Times, Washington Post, Asian Enough podcast) loves cinema, but hasn't often felt seen in the movies -- especially as a kid. But she found something to relate and aspire to in Ellen Aim, as played by a very young Diane Lane, in 1984's Streets of Fire. All about that film, plus karaoke joy, Little Giants, Terrifying Girls High School, and more, coming at you in this very fun conversation. Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the Gardena Cinema's new collaboration with Big Bad Film Fest.   Help support this show and unlock bonus content!
