Welcome to Let's Press Play! A podcast where three best friends and the occasional special guest dive deep into a movie of our choice. We're talking highlights, moments we hated, actors we loved, and our favorite part of each episode - we cast ourselves in the film. We're happy you're here. Enjoy, and don't forget... be kind and rewind.
What more could a movie need than a dragon, suspense, and a wedding (or three)? Well... our hosts are spilling their hopes, dreams, and critiques of the Millie Bobby Brown-led Damsel to answer that very question. With Katie, our very own dragon-lover and Emilie, fantasy's biggest fan, and MacK... who frankly for this one was just happy to be here... this episode is sure to bring you some laughs, an escape into a faraway land, and reasons to love when women get to be more than a bride at the altar.
