Join two longtime friends on a journey of self-discovery through the art of film!
We grew up on opposite ends of the globe, but have both been shaped by the movies we’ve seen and loved over the years. In each episode, we’ll cover a filmmaker or important topic and list our personal related top 3 movies that made us into the people we are today. We hope you learn something about yourself as we go on this journey together, or at the very least get some new movies to check out or old favorites to revisit.

Customer Reviews
To be a fly on the wall
We all have that one film buff friend. But imagine being a fly on the wall when that friend gets to film geek-out with another film buff friend.
These guys are legit!
Alex & Karan are not only very knowledgeable cinephiles but they really help you realize how much movies have truly changed our lives, and it’s a really fun way to explore self development & self discovery
More depth and meaning
I really enjoy Karan and Alex’s perspectives on each movie they discuss and how it relates back to their personal lives. We all can relate to different aspects of movies but these guys do a wonderful job taking things further and allowing you to truly relate. I appreciate the vast variety of movies they highlight which allows me to discover movies that I never heard or and/or even thought to consider watching. Overall, great podcast that is relatable, entertaining and above all inspiring.
