Hello, movie friends. I'm Lily Percy, and I'll be your guide this week as I talk with writer Karen Corday about the movie that changed her life, Mike Lee's Career Girls. You probably 15 years old and going through my first breakup.

And this wasn't a romantic breakup.

It was my first best friend breakup.

My best friend at the time was going through some very

hard family things and was getting into drugs and a lot of crazy things that I just couldn't

follow her in. And the breakup was sad and messy and painful. And I carried all of that in me

when I went to see Career Girls.

But what the movie showed me was that friendship was more than just about the end result.

But it didn't matter if my best friend and I at the time would get back together

or that we would overcome all these obstacles that were keeping us apart.

Career Girls showed me that once you make that connection, it's for life.

Your love for them doesn't go away just because your friendship ends.

It's funny, but all these memories keep flooding back.

See, I hate looking back.

Yeah, but don't forget, I don't remember my childhood, you know,

and that's why remembering

so important to me.

Oh.

Who wants a crap memory, though?

You haven't really changed.

Do you want some more rice?

No, thanks.
