Dan "The Movie Man" returns from his honeymoon to discuss the beloved 1991 film, My Girl. The film tells the story of a young Veda, the daughter of a mortician, as she navigates through themes of love, grief and death. On this episode, we discuss the reality of addressing such heavy topics with children, what age they can understand such tragedies, the mental health of grief and much more. This episode was recorded live on Twitch (twitch.tv/victimsandvillains) on September 20th, 2021. Special thank you to Kate Webster for her insight onto such subjects.
