Movies That Raised Us

Once Upon A Time, Mo and Christina met in the big apple. While neither became Princess of Genovia or found their long lost twin sister, they did bond over the movies that put those ideas into their heads. If you scour the city looking for your very own Austin Ames, or, like to dream about the days when you preferred Lip Smackers to Lip Kits, look no further. Sit back and relax, as Mo and Christina cover everything about formative movies, flip phones, and growing up on Movies That Raised Us.
