The Armchair Cinephiles
by Doug Dear and Jeff DeVries
The passionate discussion at the next table distracts you from your coffee. As you surreptitiously listen in, you realize it’s an old guy and young guy talking, no not talking, debating with passion about the various movie universes, agreeing on some points, challenging one another on others. Next week it's another show. Always engaging, with unique viewpoints. Suddenly they aren’t there. Forlorned, the barista tells you they don’t come here anymore, a furtive glance she reaches into her pocket and pulls out a simple white card with a QR code… Welcome to the podcast you didn't know you needed.
