Hello there, dear listeners! Apologies once again for another unplanned hiatus! We are back with another new episode, this time all about the 2018 HBO original biopic Paterno, starring Al Pacino and directed by HBO biopic staple, Barry Levinson. This movie and its subsequent research was pretty grim for us, we're not gonna lie, but we're hoping that we put in the tough work to bring you a still enjoyable episode! So with that, we hope you enjoy!

Hello dear listeners, and happy (belated) new year! Very sorry once again for the unplanned hiatus, but here we are, back with an all new episode! This time, we're discussing the 2015 Simon Curtis film Woman In Gold, starring Ryan Reynolds, Helen Mirren, and Tatiana Maslany, in which the biopic trifecta of the Holocaust, the Supreme Court, and art/music history come together to create the ultimate biopic bingo winner! We hope you enjoy!

Hello again, dear listeners! This episode, in honor of American Independence Day, we bring you a cross-over episode with the podcast What Were We Watching? about the 2000 Roland Emmerich film The Patriot, starring Mel Gibson. Spoiler alert: it's not very historically accurate - shocker! We hope you enjoy, and check out What Were We Watching? for more discussions of the nostalgic movies and TV shows from our childhood and adolescence (AKA the 90s and early 2000s)!

Hello again, dear listeners! We're very sorry for the long wait between our last episode and this one! Life got in the way pretty hard for us at the end of 2018, but you know what they say, "New Year, Renewed Commitment To Your Podcast," so here we are, ready to come at you with some new episodes! This episode, we're discussing the 2017 film The Zookeeper's Wife, starring Jessica Chastain and directed by Niki Caro. It's...not exactly a fun romp, but it is a good film that made for an interesting chat, so we hope you enjoy it! And thanks to our listener Ariel for suggesting it to us!
