Laughing at Ourselves

Join us each week as we discuss movies based on a monthly theme or topic. We are siblings who have bonded over films. Zach is a former high school teacher and Hayley is a communication scientist, which means we have no idea what we’re doing - but we love talking about movies we enjoy or that have had an impact on our lives. We post new episodes every Monday.

    Episode 30: 2020 Review

    2020 was a tough year. Having to stay indoors could make us all go stir crazy. So we are happy to leave this year behind. We wanted to do a “Top 10 Films of 2020” but because of COVID, we didn’t get to see too many voices that came out this year. So Hayley and I wanted to celebrate the media we did consume this year while we were stuck indoors.
