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

Luna Didiza ,

Worth every minute of your time

The ladies always make sure to bring us a fun time,just laughs, some sweet sentimentalities and just relatable takeaways from our collective favourite movies. It’s like did I even do my week right if I didn’t listen to MTRU? I love these ladies and I love the pod.

Like a big hug from your best friend

I love your podcast so much. Listening to the two of you talk and laugh about all the movies I watched as a kid, and all the feelings and messy moments of girlhood and growing up, has really helped to get through the past few months of change when people and places have felt so far away. I loved scrolling through all the episodes and seeing movies I used to watch at sleepovers with my cousins and friends. There’s a bittersweetness to growing up and growing apart from who you once were, and being in my 20s feels so strange, but those memories will always remain.
