You're tired of hearing it: "you've NEVER seen that?" and "you HAVE to listen to it!" Enough is enough! Time for us to educate ourselves on media considered 'classic' in pop culture. Join us on this journey as we go over our initial impressions, why we think it's made its way into the canon, and decide: is it worth the hype? Film bros beware - Lian and Julia are here with our honest, biased, opinions.
