Join us each week as we discuss movies based on a monthly theme or topic. We are siblings who have bonded over films. Zach is a former high school teacher and Hayley is a communication scientist, which means we have no idea what we’re doing - but we love talking about movies we enjoy or that have had an impact on our lives. We post new episodes every Monday.
No big deal, we are just talking about possibly the best film of the last 10 years. Today we are talking about Barry Jenkin’s Moonlight.
Topics of Discussion include: evil cats, all the movies, the craziest Oscars moment, behind the scenes documentaries, the swimming scene, teen tragedy, Mahershala Ali, that smoldering look, staring into the camera lens, and MAKE A FILM OF ANDRE HOLLAND COOKING YOU COWARDS
Please leave us a review., Let us know what you think and if there are any other movies we should check out.
