About Movies That Matter

Welcome to Movies That Matter, where our personal connections matter more than the number of Academy Awards or Box-Office returns. Join host Chris Flaherty and guests as they discuss a wide variety of films both old and new, and share the impacts they’ve had on us not just as audience members, but as human beings. Critical and commercial success aren’t the gold standard here. What’s important is the personal connection we form with what’s on the silver screen.
