Blind Spots & Second Thoughts
Watching and rewatching movies with a fresh set of eyes
We're Dan & Heather, a couple of movie lovers (and a couple, too). Each episode, we're going to be looking at a movie that one of us hasn't seen (probably Heather): from some classics you'd be astonished that someone hasn't seen (again, probably Heather), to some of our more obscure favorites. We'll be talking about what we know, or at least, what we *think* we know about the movie. Then after watching it, we'll recap the movie, discuss what we thought, find out if the movie has withstood the test of time, and hopefully have a few laughs along the way.
