There's a particular kind of affection we reserve for the films that truly shape us, the ones we revisit like old friends. Dear Movies, I Love You captures that feeling perfectly, treating cinema with the giddy, enduring passion of a lifelong infatuation. Hosts Millie De Chirico and Casey O'Brien lead these conversations, not as distant critics, but as enthusiastic guides deeply embedded in movie culture. Their discussions are built on a foundation of genuine knowledge, weaving together film history, nuanced criticism, and pure joy in a way that feels both substantial and refreshingly accessible. This podcast doesn't draw a line between high art and popular entertainment; an episode might dive into the craft of a beloved blockbuster with as much care as it explores an overlooked art-house gem. What you'll hear is a celebration of all the ways movies matter, delivered with intelligence and without pretension. It's for anyone who has ever felt a real, personal connection to the stories on screen and wants to spend time with others who get it. Produced by Exactly Right and iHeartPodcasts, each episode is like joining a thoughtful, lively conversation between friends who remind you exactly why you fell for movies in the first place.
