The sixth episode in a series that looks back on my attempt to watch 365 movies in 2019.

In this episode, I have a conversation with my friend and fellow movie lover Chris Love about all the movies I should have watched as a “movie guy” but somehow missed. It only took me two years to get this video done so I hope someone watches it, LOL.

The fifth episode in a series that looks back on my attempt to watch 365 movies in 2019. In this episode, I shine the spotlight on documentaries.

Instead of just reviewing documentaries I talk to two documentarians: Shawn Kelley and Marissa Aroy. Easily one of my favorite experiences afforded to me thanks to the movie-a-day challenge.

Please check out Shawn’s documentary at https://www.myfathersbrothers.com/.
