Livi's Corner Presents:

Act Two: Women in Cinematic Transition

June Feature: Thelma

What if your fourth act wasn't about slowing down?

What if it was about taking your power back?

This month, we're talking about Thelma, a funny, tender, and surprisingly radical story about aging, independence, and refusing to let the world decide what you're capable of.

Because growing older isn't the end of the story.

Sometimes it's the moment you stop asking for permission.

Join me as we explore resilience, family, dignity, and the quiet rebellion of continuing to choose yourself.

Act Two: Women in Cinematic Transition June Episode: Thelma

PBS Hour returns with a double feature billing and first up is before prestige television became a streaming empire, PBS treated literature like sacred text.

From Austen and Dickens to the Brontës and modern revivals like The Count of Monte Cristo, Episode 8 of PBS Hour explores how public television turned books into living, breathing emotional experiences.

These weren’t rushed adaptations.

They lingered.

They trusted us to feel.

Corsets, class politics, longing, revenge, and women quietly dismantling entire systems with a single look across a ballroom.

PBS didn’t just adapt books. It opened the door to worlds many of us never thought belonged to us.

New episode of PBS Hour streaming now via Livi’s Corner.

And next in this double feature is Episode 9 as I dive into Independent Lens and POV the PBS documentary space.

From criminal justice and labor to immigration, caregiving, and survival, these films didn’t just document systems.

They documented what it feels like to live inside them.

Featuring:

▪️ Always in Season

▪️ We Are the Radical Monarchs

PBS Hour is a love letter to the stories that refused to disappear.

Well, this is what we've been waiting for. A box office so on fire that we were anticipating a huge year for our beloved and resilient movie industry.
