Who needs to go to film school? Our hosts sure did not. “We Didn't Go to Film School” podcast differs from other movie podcasts in that the hosts shun relevancy as they intentionally focus their discussion on past films. The purpose of this podcast is to bring attention on older genre films, the classics, foreign films, and even the utter dumpster trash. Join Alexis and Sean along with occasional guest hosts as they share the films most important to them!
Did you miss us?!
