The Conversation - A Nordic Film PodcastEpisode 001: Jason Bourne / Bad MomsThanks for downloading this new film podcast. We, Tryggvi Þór Kristjánsson from Iceland and Rune Koldborg Jensen from Denmark, will try to bring a different, Nordic perspective to the film discussion.
We became fathers three days apart and are now trying to motivate ourselves to watch movies despite having busy lives with 6 month old babies, full time jobs, and various other projects. The motivation lies in making this bi-weekly podcast, where we will talk about new and old movies and TV shows. We are not film critics, but we both enjoy movies and love to talk about them... So why...
