Whatcha Watchin episode 2 is out now!

We’re baaaaack! My friend and fellow Denver film critic Kim Pierce and I just released the second episode of our Whatcha Watchin podcast. Kim attended press screenings for Cocaine Bear and Creed III, but I was sick at home, so I rewatched the YRF Spy Universe movies. We chatted about the Cocaine Bear’s cocaine cubs, Michael B Jordan’s directorial style, why Pathaan is a blast, my crushes on both Ranveer Singh and Rana Daggubati, and why people need to start embracing movies with subtitles.

Check out the episode on Trashwire here, listen on Apple Podcasts, or listen on Spotify.
