Basically we all watch a movie together. It can be any movie. Something near and dear to us, something relevant to what's happening in the world around us, something particularly trashy and terrible. Whatever. Then we breakdown our thoughts on the movie. What we loved, what we hated, how did Nicolas Cage pass a sexy leading man for so long? Then we do our best to improve our improv chops by doing a little long form theater based on what we discussed. Our goal at the end of every episode is to prove that... Theater is, indeed, Greater Than Film. (Spoiler: We will fail EVERY time).
