    Join me, The Popcorn Priest and my guests as we talk about why you should or shouldn't see what we just did. I used to be a projectionist at a movie theatre. While there, besides eating many many bags of free popcorn and just as much soda, I screened, talked about, and debated movies with other movie fans like myself. I am not there anymore, however the screening, talking and debating movies lives on in this podcast. We screen new and old movies, then talk about what we like and what we didn't like. It's laid back and most of the time informative but always an adventure.
