Author, Old Films, Young Eyes: A Teenage Take On Hollywood's Golden Age
This week, Ira spoke with Simone O. Elias, author of Old Films, Young Eyes: A Teenage Take On Hollywood's Golden Age. In this episode of “Ira’s Everything Bagel,” Simone talks about how she got interested in classic films; why she discovered redeeming qualities about them; their modern relevance; themes that were consistent across all genres that reflected the times; films that made an impression on her; how she had a real life connection to these movies; TCM as the classic film community center; why the past is “incredibly important” to learn from; and how the teenage perspective is important.
Simone O. Elias started her career in podcasting: producing, and writing for “Teenage Golden Age,” a podcast about classic Hollywood from the teenage perspective. She focuses on classic films, screenwriting, and songwriting. Simone divides her time between Placerville and Berkeley, California.
