Talkie Talk Ep. 9: Favorite Films for Every Year

Published: March 28, 2017, 6 a.m.

The ninth episode of The Media By Us pan-media podcast, Talkie Talk. In this episode, we have Brent, Chris, TJ and David discuss their Watchlist/Playlist before going into the main topic: Happy Birthday TJ! In honor of TJ, and a Facebook request, we're coming up with our favorite movies for every year since TJ has been alive (1985-present). It is super fun, and we only reach consensus twice. The rest... is history. (Bonus fact: TJ and Brent have the best match in favorite films with 12 out of the 32 years... Just the two of us, making castles in the sand...) The direct podcast RSS feed is here. And please contact us through email, Facebook (movies, TV, games), and Twitter.
