It’s February and romance is definitely in the air…well, at Movie Club it’s more of a Bromance. Jonathan (@berkreviews) and Corey (@coreyrstarr) decided that this year they’d focus on plutonic love and watch movies featuring two dudes becoming bros. There are some big movies that these two have missed that fall into this genre. Join them as they watch this month’s selections, share your thoughts, and listen to their reactions to these films featuring a budding friendship.
As far as the podcast goes, each episode features an in-depth review of the movie for the week. They begin with a spoiler-free review before diving in completely after the needed spoiler warning. However, before getting into the review of the week, Jonathan and Corey discuss what other movies they’ve seen since the last episode as well as anything else they feel like discussing. To help them decide which of the many films to watch each month they started creating themes for them all.
