I've reached this level in life where I haven't seen (in its totality) The Bodyguard. This was something I knew I wanted to do for a long time. Naturally I brought Charles on to talk this pure classic. I was swept up in the magic of Whitney Houston the entire time. We get into how we didn't hate Kevin Costner in this, the fashion, and our favorite song from the soundtrack.

off topic rants: pop stars reality shows of the 2000s, disaster movies, and how film scores replaced soundtracks

This is quite a surreal moment for me. I've been inspired by Valerie Phillips' work since I picked up a NYLON magazine in the early 00s. It was a dream to be able to talk with her about shooting during the peak of fashion magazine culture. We get into her start on music video sets, how she worked with some of the best during the start of NYLON, and how she self published her own work which led to international publisher and her latest book, Candy Cat Head (out soon).

This is my first interview on the Library side of the podcast. Since I've been documenting my collection I wanted to connect with other collectors to talk about our journey and how we came across certain titles.

I found Sofia on TikTok @curatedbysofia and I knew I had to get her on the line to chat about our love of photography and print media!

We get into her journey as a photographer, how it led to collecting, and how she managed to score a collection of over 1,000 magazines!
