High & Low is a movie and film podcast that marries the upper crust with the leftover crumbs. Each episode, we discuss two movies connected by a theme of our choosing. One movie is "high brow" and the other is "low brow". The theme changes every week. It could be the same subject matter, director, writer, genre, politics, character name, on-site dentist, mother's maiden name or whatever it takes to make this  concept work. Are you curious about the intersection of trashy cinema with A-list film? Do you like bad impressions, half-cooked bits, and movie banter? Then this podcast is for you!
