Moviestruck: A podcast about movies and the people who watch them Every week host Sophia Ricciardi is joined by a different guest to talk shop about a different movie. The catch? Every episode's movie is the guest's choice, and any movie is on the table. From Sky High to Ben-Hur, we explore the movies we love, and why we love to watch them.

Noir is back, just like the shark! We're talking direct-to-TV classic Ghost Shark (2013), which is weirdly a favorite of Sophia's. Apparently "I have a podcast" doesn't give you taste, but who cares! A shark eats a kid on a slip-n-slide!
