Two theatre goofs with no experience in film attempt to critique and criticize all the while making each other laugh. But you can join the fun too! This podcast can be played along with the movie in the title so it is like these unexperienced goofs are in your home (or car or plane or... you get the point!) So sit back, relax, and... that's all I can really tell you what to do. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mondaymatinees/support
