Yinz ever think about those movies from your childhood that maybe had a huge influence on your, or helped shape you into the person you are today? Well we kinda did, so we decided to make this a topic! We'r'e talking about the movies that we watched as kids that really stood out, the movies we watched as kids that we probably shouldn't have, and the movies that we never truly understood as kids, but then came back to as adults and either made sense of it, or just completely broke down, because some things just hit different when you're older. With newcomer Gabe DeRose and podcast favorite, Hank Fodor, the three of us dive into what our childhoods looked like, and also why we're all just so cool. So. There's that.
