Late To The Party

44 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 8 years ago - ★★★★ - 9 ratings

Meghan & Jose have somehow missed out on seeing a lot of important movies. In order to avoid further embarrassment and shame, they started a podcast to motivate themselves to watch more films. Every episode, they discuss a movie that at least one of them has never seen that was popular, beloved, and/or has a cult following. This is not necessarily a review show, more of a discussion of something that is likely ingrained into the zeitgeist.
