Hello, this is the Twist The Reel Podcast where we put a "twist" on watching movies!
We are two friends who go back and forth recommending movies to one another and watching them under increasingly deranged circumstances. From the depths of an elevator to a (literally) freezing marina at sunset, we believe there's no where too strange to watch a movie...
—Savannah & Lauren

Despite this being Savannah's pick, Lauren both remembered and enjoyed the movie more. They discussed teen dystopia, problematic student/teacher dynamics, island jazz, the trials and tribulations of watching a movie in an elevator, and repetitive Hollywood acting circuits.
