We're Rori and Aaron Carmichael, siblings who share a love for movies, TV, music, and all-things pop culture. Though we grew up in the same household, we still have some pretty big differences. Each episode we give our perspectives on a film, show, or song, and try to find some common ground with one another. We also hope to make recommendations that you will like, as well. Oh, and don't worry...we will keep the bickering and rivalries to a minimum.

Rori Carmichael, Aaron Carmichael
