The Movie Test of Time

Film History, TV & Film

The Movie Test of Time is a podcast about two friends who have come together to ask the big questions about movies from our youth. Then mostly fail to answer them. Though they have a great time along the way! Join our two transatlantic weirdos, Beth (USA) and Andy(Ireland) as they have fun chatting about friendship, movies and anything else that crosses their minds. And we mean ANYTHING.
