Welcome to Feelin' Film. Aaron and Patrick embark on a quest to change the tone of film criticism, one movie review at a time. Discussion is family friendly and centered around positive takeaways and emotional experience more than technical merit. We believe that all art is worthy of some praise and every movie makes us feel something. Tune in and join the conversation.
It's a ROM-COM recap like you've never heard before. Let's face it, we've all attempted to recreate pieces of romantic comedies into our own lives, sometimes unknowingly. They bring a sense of nostalgia, and you can't help but romanticize these boy meets girl scenarios...but we're about to bring you the good, the bad, and the ugly truth. Get in your comfy pants and grab your favorite cocktail with ROM-COMEDIANS Abbey Finch (@abbeyfinch) and Jenny Jennings (@_jennyjennings) for a new episode ...
Sarah and Dana are lifelong followers and fans of romance in any medium: Books, movies, TV and the occasional fanfiction. Join them for a hilarious deep-dive into what makes the genre so addicting including the unattainable heartthrobs, the inevitable fallouts and everyone’s favorite happy endings.
