"Where are the people who know where the people are?"On today's episode, Tracie introduces Emily to the 1990 Barry Levinson film Avalon, the director's love letter to Baltimore and his own Jewish immigrant family. The movie follows the Krichinskys from 1914 through to the 1960s as the large, tight-knit, extended family moves, changes, assimilates, and fractures. As a lifelong Baltimorean and the great-great-granddaughter of a Jewish immigrant from Europe, Tracie feels seen by Levinson's story, and she recognizes the ways in which American culture, money, and changing technology have altered family dynamics and expectations in her own family history just like they do for the Krichinskys. Though Emily has never seen Avalon--which mystifies Tracie--she helps tease out some of the meaning behind the money psychology's role in difficult family dynamics in the film.Take a listen, but don't cut the turkey without Gabriel!Mentioned in this episode:Money Scriptshttps://www.yourmentalwealthadvisors.com/our-process/your-money-script/The Price of Whiteness: Jews, Race, and American Identityhttps://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691136318/the-price-of-whiteness?srsltid=AfmBOopiKo92X3Sx99xGBbAYpuZP-MZ2Fr5rRBqipGdja19_bRORET-qAmbivalent Embrace: Jewish Upward Mobility in Postwar America https://uncpress.org/book/9781469635439/ambivalent-embrace/This episode was edited by Resonate Recordings.Our theme music is "Professor Umlaut" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By AtPlease give us a review and/or a rating!
