Remember those afternoons spent in front of the TV, where a VHS tape felt like a portal? For Mo and Christina, a friendship forged in New York City was built on exactly those shared cinematic memories. Their Movies That Raised Us podcast digs into the films that genuinely shaped who they are-the ones that taught them about romance, friendship, and what lip gloss to wear. Each episode is a deep, funny, and often wonderfully tangential conversation about a specific movie from their youth. You’ll hear them dissect plot holes with affection, reminisce about the fashion disasters they tried to emulate, and debate whether those childhood idols still hold up. It’s less a formal review and more like eavesdropping on two friends who’ve known each other for years, unpacking why these stories stuck with them and how they echo into adulthood. The tone is warm, packed with inside jokes, and unapologetically nostalgic. If you ever quoted lines in the school cafeteria or crafted your entire personality around a character for a week, this podcast feels like coming home. Mo and Christina’s chemistry turns each chat into a celebration of the messy, formative power of pop culture, proving that the movies we loved at twelve often have the most to say.
