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.

Join the conversation to learn all about this zany, spooky, and at times absurd horror-comedy, and all the fun behind-the-scenes stories Nick has to share.
