Description
Enjoy film analysis with a dose of nonsensical, sassy commentary? Watch the film with us! Every month, hosts Lara and Cheryl deep dive into a film and chat about four topics related to the movie. We draw comparisons with other films we have watched and chat about how the film industry has and continues to develop. Listen in on our lighthearted conversations as we watch and reflect on different film genres, with small doses of silliness sprinkled throughout!
