Part 8/11:
The discussion shifts to societal shifts affecting movie viewing habits. Many young viewers today haven't seen or are unfamiliar with the classics of Hollywood’s golden age. Some attribute this to modern parents' busyness, especially in single-parent households, which limits opportunities to introduce children to older films. Others share anecdotes about how their own parents, especially fathers, deliberately or casually exposed them to iconic movies like Aliens, Mad Max, and Star Trek.
For example, one speaker reminiscences being young and watching Mad Max with his dad, who was unafraid to show intense or mature scenes, even instructing him to look away during nudity or violence. These bonding moments often included humorous or awkward exchanges about classic films' mature content.
