What Makes a City a City?

Jenna and Veronica are back at it – having long conversations that only barely have to do with movies! In this latest episode of Notes From the Back Row, they investigate what it is about cities that truly gives them character and the movies that best reflect that spark. Because this is Jenna and Veronica, they stick to the lakes they’re used to and focus mostly on San Francisco and New York City. Oh and literally spend the first 20 minutes just talking about weird commuting stories and the evils of Capitalism. But it comes back to movies! It all comes around! We promise.

• It Should Happen To You (1954)
