On this episode, we discuss the 1992 Kenny Ortega film NEWSIES! With Kristin being a life-long fan, and it being a great excuse for Megan to finally see it, now felt like a great time to dig into this one. Famously, the film had its fair share of production issues, but the music is fun and how can you not love Christian Bale?

On this episode, Shadan is joined by Jaylan Salah to discuss the great Guillermo del Toro and why his monsters are so memorable! Del Toro is clearly defined by his monsters and he's talked at great length as to why they mean so much to him, and that passion oozes off the screen when you watch his films. And we wanted to talk some time to talk about why they resonate with us too.
