The Top Five PodcastOur Top Five Favorite Movies About COLLEGEOH YEAH!!!!! College Years!!!! Whether you loved it or hated it yourself, there are certainly some dramatic and hilarious representations of college life in the cinema. Since 1925, college life has been a popular theme in cinema. It's hard to believe that Harold Lloyd from "The Freshman" had some of the same experiences as some of the characters we are discussing in today's show, but you never know. Some of our favorites are entirely too real while others are entirely too ridiculous. Still, Annie and Doug, and I had a blast discussing these and we sure hope...2023-02-2841 min

The Top Five PodcastOur Top Five Favorite Indie Horror FilmsDid I mention that I LOVE doing this show with my sister? And if you'll allow me, I also REALLY love when I can do this episode with my sister AND one or more of her kids. So this week's convo features me, Annie, and Emily and we are breaking down our Top Five FAVORITE Indie Horror Films. If you think about it, most of the scariest and most disturbing horror films are those that come from independent studios. Because it was the indie studios who weren't necessarily afraid to take things to the next level. To scar...2022-11-2342 min
