Fried Green Tomatoes

Katie and Bridget tell the entire plot of this movie to a stranger at a nursing home as they re-watch the movie: Fried Green Tomatoes! Come along as meet Evelyn, a housewife who gets ignored constantly until she meets her new BFF Ninny! When she tells the tale of her alleged sister-in-law Idgie and her basically love story with a woman named Ruth, Evelyn learns to stand up for herself and develop multiple personality disorder #Towanda. Idgie and Ruth's story spans over decades and includes numerous train accidents/deaths, the plot to the song "Goodbye Earl", forbidden love, domestic abuse, racism, patriarchal bullshit, and cannibalism! This movie has us asking the deep questions such as: Should all children still be shown PSA videos about not playing on train tracks like Bridget and Katie experienced as kids? Is murdering your abusive/baby-snatching husband and then barbecuing him to be eaten by strangers sometimes the only way?? WAS NINNY REALLY IDGIE AND THIS WAS HER CONFESSION!? All these and more in this emotional movie! Released in 1991, it stars Kathy Bates, Jessica Tandy, Mary Stuart Masterson, Mary-Louise Parker, Cicely Tyson, Chris O'Donnell, and Stan Shaw.
