Movies Live On!

What a treat! As an English teacher, I love hearing young people using their analytical skills to study what they love- well-verses in context and backed up with evidence, the first episode has undertone of passion with a friendly feel. As a fan of movies, I love hearing the new perspectives on old movies!

Love Movies!

It's great to see another generation of podcasters pop up. Can't wait to hear Carmen's thoughts about movies. It's impressive that a high school is so respectul towards classic films. Awesome work! Hurry up and post more episodes!
