Rebecca and Tori ring in the New Year chatting about the 1982 movie, Diner, written and directed by Barry Levinson. We discuss gender dynamics and the transition into adulthood, while Tori waxes nostalgic about how the movie relates to her family. We get into some character development, the portrayal of women, and the cultural context of the 1950s.
