Scene It with Bill and Jen

Jennifer Salerno and Bill Olinger•www.buzzsprout.com

Bill likes movies with bad dialogue and lots of explosions. Jen likes dark comedies and horror (as long as there are no dead kids involved). Fed up with constantly shooting down one another's movie suggestions, they decided to create a podcast where they force each other to watch movies the other hasn't seen. Join Bill and Jen on this journey as they dissect and rate a wide range of cinematic masterpieces and cult classics. This won’t be your typical movie review show. No, no. This will be a deep dive, return-to-the-past joyride that will either bring back fond memories of a particular movie or have you dying to see it for the first time.
