Once Upon A Time, Mo and Christina met in the big apple. While neither became Princess of Genovia or found their long lost twin sister, they did bond over the movies that put those ideas into their heads.

Sit back and relax, as Mo and Christina cover everything about formative movies, flip phones, and growing up on Movies That Raised Us.

My favorite podcast!

I absolutely love listening to this podcast. I always get really excited when a new episode some out. Mo and Christina, listening to you guys talk on the podcast always makes me laugh, or smile. I always listen to this whenever I am going to sleep, doing something boring or if I just wanna have a laugh and have a fun time thank you so much for creating this podcast. I love it so much. But please, please, please do The Fault in Our Stars and Catching Fire( with Leaun Cooke!) Thank you so much!

I love Mitski and The Tortures Poets Department, and I also enjoy drawing and hanging out with my besties!!!

The best podcast

After a breakup, I started listening as it was always on my list. I started from the beginning and even though I’m still in 2022, I can positively say this podcast is amazing! Mo and Christina don’t know it but they helped me through tricky work days and hellish commutes. Were there when I was moving into a new place and figuring out my new life. Can’t wait to be caught up in 2024!
