I’m so glad I came across this podcast! It brings back so many memories of growing up with all these iconic movies that are being covered. This definitely makes me want to go back and rewatch them all again before listening to each of their episodes and see these movies in a new light as I watch them in my 20’s. Excited to see what other movies they cover! If you love late 90s - early 2000s movies, you’ll definitely enjoy this podcast!
