Ed Boston Podcast

ReelWorks Studios and Fathom Events announce new, expanded release dates for WHEN WE LAST SPOKE, now in movie theaters nationwide October 27, 29, 30 and 31. WHEN WE LAST SPOKE is a heartwarming tale of family, friendship and forgiveness featuring Corbin Bernsen (“Psych,” “L.A. Law”), Melissa Gilbert (“Little House on the Prairie”), Darby Camp (“Big Little Lies,” THE CHRISTMAS CHRONICLES), Chandler Head (THE GLASS CASTLE) and Academy award-winning actress, Cloris Leachman (I CAN ONLY IMAGINE, THE LAST PICTURE SHOW).

In 1967, life for Juliet and Evangeline changes quickly after their father James departs to fight in the Vietnam War and their mother, who feels ill-equipped to raise two daughters alone, leaves them with their grandparents, Walt and Ruby, to pursue her own singing career. Together, the family learns how to overcome heartbreak and uncertainty by holding tight to the most important aspects of life – family, friends, love and forgiveness.

Inspired by the novel from Marci Henna, director Joanne Hock and screenplay writers Rick Eldridge and Jimmy Hager, WHEN WE LAST SPOKE will leave audiences grateful for the gift of family, the relief of laughter and with a newfound appreciation for the often kooky relationships with friends and family.
