Our second warm-up episode is all about the 1940s. Our idea for our warm-up season was to pick one movie from each decade, starting in the '40s, to give each other an idea of our tastes. Today, we cover Mildred Pierce, Fun and Fancy Free, and Out of the Past. You can find us at drewmcweeny.com and on your favorite podcasting apps!

Season One of The Hip Pocket opens with a warm-up episode. Aundria, Drew and Craig pick one Hip Pocket movie each, and this week, anything goes. We're discussing Fall, Five Corners, and Bringing Up Baby. It's a strange trio, but a great place to start! Please visit us at drewmcweeny.com or on your favorite podcasting apps!
