Weekly movie podcast where we climb the rungs of cinematic connections. Each week Brendan and Zach watch a movie that is somehow connected to the movie we watched the previous week. We discuss the movie, take listener feedback, discuss connections to previous movies and end the episode by picking our next movie based on suggestions sent in by the listeners and brought by your hosts.
