  • I Love the Movie Friends

    Lovely people, great podcast. I thoroughly enjoy their completely different point of views. I’ve had the pleasure of appearing on their podcast a few times and it’s always fun & a safe space to give our opinions. As a fellow The OC fanatic, I relate to Michelle very much, but also love Seth’s fresh takes on a show I’m overly familiar with; I thoroughly enjoy hearing what he has to say about it as it’s often something I would never have thought of. Can’t wait for them to cover Season 4!
