Hate Watch / Great Watch
by Hunter M. Bush and Allison C. Yakulis
Hello excellent humans! Hunter and Allison like to watch movies. Hunter and Allison’s friends like to watch movies, too. Each episode we watch a new film with a new special guest and talk about it - the good, the bad, the confusing, the behind-the-scenes tidbits, the movies it reminds us of, and the things we can laugh about. Coming from our very own yellow kitchen to your waiting ears, laugh, learn, and reminisce with us as we cover the movies we love and the movies we love to hate. Hate Watch / Great Watch: it’s like watching a movie with your friends, but better!
