A First Attempt Filmcast is the baby we talked about forever but never had. But now, ladies and gentlemen, it is birthed! Our podcast is for movie lovers BY MOVIE LOVERS. Each week we will discuss a new film after having viewed it ourselves. Hopefully you watch it too and then proceed to listen in on our thoughts. Think of each episode as a conversation a few friends might have after exiting the movie theatre. Along with that, expect other miscellaneous conversation and laughter. May the journey continue. E.T., phone home. HARD CUT!

Luke, Mo and Jaden
