Join us as we talk about all of the breaking news and updates from the NBA, NFL, and more!  Explicit The Midnight Cinema Screening Unkn  Welcome to The Midnight Cinema Screening.This is basically the place where we hang out after midnight and talk about movies and TV shows that stuck with us… the good, the bad, the weird, and the ones that probably shouldn’t exist but somehow do. I also talk about true crime. If you love horror, cult classics, creepy shows, and the occasional random deep dive into something strange, you’re in the right place. Nothing here is super scripted or overly serious. It’s more like sitting around with friends after a late-night movie, breaking down what worked, what didn’t, and the moments that made you pause the screen and go, “Wait… what just happened?”Some episodes we’ll be reviewing movies.Some we’ll be talking about TV episodes.And sometimes we’ll just go down a rabbit hole about the weird history behind something we watched.So if you like late-night movie talk, dark stories, and conversations that feel a little unfiltered Explicit Strangers on a Podcast Grim Weed & The Conductor Attention passengers. Ride along with two perfect strangers as they criss cross movie land, stopping to explore cinema classics and not-so-classics. Can the strangers find common ground through film and form a friendship? Will their opinions vary as widely as the miles between them or can they meet in the middle and connect over a movie and some laughs? Can they manage to stay on topic? They’re just two average Joe’s from different parts of the U.S. that decided to prove the power of cinema. It’s a good time for all in the movie car as the strangers discuss trivia, history, impacts and influences of films you may or may not have heard of. All aboard! Hosted by: The Conductor and Grim Weed Explicit
