This is the Pitts
by Michael Oberst and Chelsea Greenwood
This is the Pitts is a rewatch podcast where we watch every single one of Brad Pitt's movies, in chronological order, and are analyzing his career and life as viewed from the tabloids. Brad Pitt has a massive 30 year, 78 movie career, AND he is non-stop in the tabloids. In 2018 he is on the front page of tabloids for rumors about a relationship he was in 15 years ago. Why are we so obsessed with him? He's an icon, but is he actually talented? How does someone become Brad Pitt? Chelsea Greenwood and Michael Oberst set out to answer these questions week by week with This is the Pitts. Join us on this absurd and unnecessary journey!
