Time to share my video essay "Memories of It" again that deals with my childhood memories of that time.

On October 3, Aaron Samuels asked Cady Heron what day it was—some might answer, “It's German Unity Day!” and they'd be right, but it's also Mean Girls Day. And since few films deal with the unification of two countries, we're having a teen comedy for #FreakyFriday. Here's: EASY A (2010)! 1/10

It's time to embrace fall in all its hues—with a touch of drama, a dash of longing, and plenty of sepia tones in today's edition of #FreakyFriday. Plus, we're featuring a Hollywood Memories favorite that we haven't shown in quite a while. Here 's: A WALK IN THE CLOUDS (1995)! 1/10

This week, we remember Robert Redford—founder of the Sundance Institute, director, activist, and, of course, one of the actors who immediately springs to mind when you think of movie stars. That's why we have a Redford film for this #FreakyFriday: THE GREAT GATSBY (1974)! 1/12
