It's very funny, it's sweet, it's sad, it's cringey, and it beautifully captures a period of life that everyone can relate to whether or not they are a movie lover. It's...

Marta DjordjevicWay back when the show relaunched in 2020, we had planned on covering Abbas Kiarostami's Palme d'Or winning Taste of Cherry but I was overruled by my then cohosts who, at the time, were not terribly taken with the film.

2025-01-0442 minThe Reel PineappleI Like Movies ReviewFun fact about me, I was supposed to work at a Blockbuster Video when I first moved to the West Coast, but the store closed down two weeks before I was supposed to start; still bums me out because I would've ruled working at a Blockbuster.
