MOTM Podcast Hosts

Rob Stennett, Andrew Harmon, and John Bolin have worked together on films, ad campaigns, and A LOT of stage productions.

We debate movies a lot.

We're taking the debate out of the backstage and onto the main stage. What makes a movie meaningful? Is there a least meaningful part of the movie?

Did we love it or hate it? You're invited into the journey.

It's February and we're doing another romantic film. La La Land is in the running for best movie about LA ever made, and the most devastating romance. Is this a musical for people who don't like musicals? Is there a deeper meaning beneath the surface?
