Actor/writer/producer Josh Cooke teams up with his sister Jessi Cooke to gush over their favorite movies from childhood, go off on tangents about everything from behind the scenes Hollywood stories to how one might like to be eaten by a shark, and indulge in that special sibling tradition of yelling at each other over past, present and future nonsense. It’s a podcast about the experience of loving movies; how your favorites become part of your life, and in some cases, define relationships.
So yeah it’s about all that, but by way of a stream of conscious bonanza.
