Watch With Jen - S7: E5 - Coming-of-Age Movies with Candice Frederick
Episode 5
Saturday, 11 April, 2026
Recently on the pod, I reunited with the gifted arts journalist Candice Frederick, one of my oldest friends from the early days of Film Twitter. Candice was one of the first guests I ever had on Watch With Jen, and we had a ball logging on to discuss some of the best and most under-discussed coming-of-age movies of the past 40+ years, including those we first saw as adults in our early 40s. While initially we were going to focus on RUNNING ON EMPTY, PARIAH, and JUNO, we wound up having a breezy, sunny, nostalgic, and introspective chat about a wide range of movies and cultural figures that defined our generation, including River Phoenix and John Hughes. It's ideal for Spring!Bio: Candice Frederick is a talented culture journalist for hire. She was formerly the Senior Culture Reporter at HuffPost. Other bylines include The Daily Beast, Time, History.com, New York Times, Bloomberg, ELLE, Harper's Bazaar, and many others.Originally Posted on Patreon (4/11/26) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/155361805Donate to the Pod via Ko-fi & PayPal Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless ShopTheme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive
