Filmmaker Lisa Downs, creator of the acclaimed Life After Movies documentary series, steps into Nostalgia Nation to talk about her newest projects, including Life After Goodfellas, Life After The Goonies, and Life After Grease.
We dig into why these films still matter, how she tracks down cast and crew decades later, the emotional weight of revisiting cherished classics, and what it’s like building a cinematic universe out of our childhood favorites.
If you grew up quoting Goodfellas, hunting for One-Eyed Willy’s treasure, or dancing through the halls like Danny and Sandy, this episode is pure Gen X & Millennial comfort food.
