How Could You?!

Lauren Tocci; Ryan Toccipodcasters.spotify.com
We are two people who fell in love at a movie theater and never quite left. We started this podcast, because even as two devout movie obsessives, we had some SERIOUS gaps in our film knowledge. As time has gone on, we are still covering gaps, but now engaging in great cinematic debates, awards season prognosticating, and geeking out about our shared love of film. We always deep dive after we've seen a new movie or revisit and old favorite and we are now inviting you to sit in on the conversation.
