About Cheer Up, Buddy!

Each episode, Riddy and Tom watch a movie about a sad man then have free-flowing discussions in the hopes they can improve their own lives by learning from these fictional sad sacks. Do the discussions sometimes get personal? Yes. Do the hosts also go on off-topic rants? Also yes. Whatever you think this podcast is, it probably isn't. Hosted on Acast.
