If you've ever wondered how those stinky teenagers nowadays actually feel about movies, well, you're in luck! Koby, Miles, and Olivia, three underqualified teenage film geeks, might just become your new best friends, or validation for your theories about the world coming to a crumbling end. In this weekly podcast, they tackle reviewing and discussing cinema, as well as modern-day issues in film and the industry. Join them as they navigate the tumultuous waters of film, movies, and general teenager-ness.
