Movies That Shaped Us Podcast

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 the related personal 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.
