Movie Month: Movies that Stick

About this episode

The episode explores movies that leave a lasting impression and the storytelling elements that contribute to their impact.

Some movies fade as soon as the credits roll, but others linger, echoing in your mind days, weeks, even years later. In this episode, Greg and Nathan are joined by returning guest Nathan Bartlebaugh to dive into the films they just can’t shake. Each host brings movies that have stayed with them long after the first watch, unpacking what gives these stories their lasting power. Is it an unforgettable character? A haunting ending? A theme that hits a little too close to home? Along the way, they each highlight one scene from their picks that refuses to let go. But this isn’t just about great movies, it’s about great storytelling. The conversation turns toward what writers can learn from these films and how to craft stories that truly stick with an audience.
