Super Serious Podcasts

by Daniel Vaca

Home of the two podcasts: Super Serious Movie Men and Super Serious Podcast Man. In SSMM, two friends sit down and ramble about whether movies are good or not. Will they reach a consensus? Will they change each other's minds? Was it Colin Farrell or Colin Firth? They're asking the tough questions about movies. I also have guests on and we talk about their favorite movies and their own podcasts. In SSPM, I sit down with someone I know and interview them about their life, interests, hobbies, curiosities. It's a place for me to learn!
