When you want some Nostalgia and Whimsy…

Do yourself a favor and listen to this podcast!
I’ve learned things about movies I’ve been watching all my life and I even enjoy the episodes on movies I’ve never seen, because these guys know movies. They’re passionate about film while having the same fun you would have talking to a close friend or family member about all your fondest memories of watching movies together.
