Once Upon A Time, Mo and Christina met in the big apple. While neither became Princess of Genovia or found their long lost twin sister, they did bond over the movies that put those ideas into their heads. If you scour the city looking for your very own Austin Ames, or, like to dream about the days when you preferred Lip Smackers to Lip Kits, look no further. Sit back and relax, as Mo and Christina cover everything about formative movies, flip phones, and growing up on Movies That Raised Us.

simply iconic

this podcast is truly something special! i love the way that Mo and Christina talk about these films! They not only give amazing commentary and always find a way to take the thoughts out of my brain, but they also make sure to point out the downfalls of these films when it comes to race, inclusion, representation and all of the above! if you’re on the fence, hop off and get to listening!

Zappyappy ,

So good.

So good! Break down of “it follows” was amazing.
