Welcome to Cool Takes, the only bad movie podcast where the bad movies are good, actually. Every week we mount a sincere and unironic defense of an unpopular movie, in the hopes of successfully gaslighting our audience into having bad taste. Hosted by film students Jackson and Adeline McMurray and non-colligiate film enthusiast Kezia Rhodes, assisted by a cavalcade of guest hosts. Published weekly on Mondays!
