Oh, no! Another unnecessary but thoroughly enjoyable movie review podcast? Yep. Black and White Movie Night is hosted by Brendan (white) and Brittany (black). We choose a new theme each month and discuss (and often argue about) all the things we like, love, hate, and can't believe about the films we select. Do we have a film studies degree? Absolutely not. Do we work in the industry? If you count background acting and writing movie reviews for a local newspaper over 15 years ago...absolutely yes. Deep dives and spoilers always included. New episodes every Friday.
