Strangers on a Podcast

Strangers on a Podcast

Attention passengers. Ride along with perfect strangers as they criss cross movie land, stopping to explore cinema classics and not-so-classics. Can the strangers find common ground through film and form a friendship? Will their opinions vary as widely as the miles between them? Can they meet in the middle and connect over a movie and some laughs? Will they make some new friends along the way? Can they manage to stay on topic? They’re just average people from different parts of the U.S. that decided to prove the power of cinema. It’s a good time for all in the movie car as the strangers discuss trivia, history, impacts and influences of films you may or may not have heard of. All aboard! Hosted by: The Conductor and Grim Weed
