Ali Clayton on 'Fried Green Tomatoes'

If you were alive when Fried Green Tomatoes (youtu.be/-Gf4_PC3lg4?si=rHSRueqSGT7TFbb2) came out -- first Fannie Flagg's book (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fried_Green_Tomatoes_at_…), then the movie -- you may recall it was a phenomenon. To a (very) young Ali Clayton, it was a bit of a personal phenomenon, its only-kinda-coded queerness calling out to her before she even knew why. But beyond that, it was a movie about Southern women in a South that Ali recognized -- one where bad things can happen, but good people are holding each other up through it all.
Then Jordan has one quick thing about last weekend's big win for cinemas & cinemagoing.
