Movies That Raised Us

Amazing podcast! Love the movie choices, the funny reviews and happy to have a huge back catalog to go through.

Mo and Christina are perfectly matched hosts with great banter and thoughtful analysis of both movies I consider childhood classics and even those I had admittedly half written off. I came to this podcast in a happenstance search of “just my luck” looking for any podcast to acknowledge that what LL’s character did to all those male dancers in the movie to try to get her luck back is a crime - they came through with the indictment of her predatory behaviour (and more!). Growing up, my mom encouraged big NLOG vibes so I thought movies like Ice Princess and Aquamarine were “beneath me” without even really looking into it. After listening to the corresponding ep of MtRu, I’ve decided to watch all those movies I had written off. Let me tell you… delightful. Some of these early 2000s movies were doing so much more to advance women’s storytelling than I gave them credit for. In a pretty jaded world, it’s so nice to hear Mo & Christina’s take on these super cute movies. Thanks!!

I’m obsessed with this podcast…. Its taken over my life, i can’t be in the car without it on. I listen to it everyday at work. They run through all the movies i watched RELIGIOUSLY as a kid. My favourite episodes are the movies that when i watch back now are SO bad. It’s so funny to listen to them talk about the bad ones because while i still have an appreciation for them…. They’re awful. It feels like I’m listening to friends talk about it. So fun to watch the movies back after listening too…. Need more of this pod.

Two besties talk about fun movies! Thank you for talking about all my favorite movies in such reverent tones! Xx
