I Can't Believe You Haven't Seen...
Ever had a conversation with someone about a movie you love that they haven't seen, causing you to say "I can't believe you haven't seen that!" Jess and Matt have...in fact, it's happened throughout their entire relationship!
Join them as they have conversations about what the new viewer thought about different aspects of each movie they watch, touching on everything from themes and cultural perspectives to the filmmaking and characters in front of the camera. They may even discover some new favourites...or question the sanity of the other person's choices.

I Can't Believe You Haven't Seen...
Episode #021 - Norma Rae
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Norma Rae is a pretty legendary movie with an iconic award-winning central performance that showed what a successful, crowd pleasing story in the "New Hollywood" era of the late 70s looked like. Somehow, despite LOVING this era, Matt had not ever seen it. Jess was shook. Mostly because Norma Rae Webster is pretty iconic to her. Also because standing on a table defying authority is her idea of a fun time on the weekends.
As Matt and Jess have roots growing up in industry towns, they have a lot to relate to in this story and a lot to discuss: the demographics of those who embrace change, the role of fear in oppression, the real life echoes of Harlan County USA, and what it means to be respected. One question they don't actually get around to answering: why do people in the South always seem to have three names?
