Mind Your Movies
Mind Your Movies is a podcast for and by movie fans. In each episode, Ryan and Shane discuss in detail two films centered on a specific topic (spoilers and all!). Sometimes they’re movies we love, and sometimes they’re just movies that have to be discussed. After our conversation, we choose a random topic for the next episode. We choose the next films live so you can watch along with us! Join us for some fun (and informative) conversations about movies!
