ADHD-DVD
by Justin Morissette & Hayley Leier
Plenty of readers have countless books on their shelves that they've never even begun to read. What this podcast presupposes is, what if Movie people are the same? Justin and Hayley have a shared background working in retail in the late 2000s, during the prime era of the discount DVD bin. Now the radio hosts are finally getting around to the movies they own that have come to own them. That, plus getting side-tracked by current hyper-fixations and talking about all the other movies they've been seeing of late. Watching the movies we bought and forgot! It's ADHD-DVD.
