Join us, a group of close friends, while we discuss a different film each week to help us get through one of the toughest periods in our lives. Each week a different member of our group selects a film for us all to watch and we get to then see each other over Zoom while discussing it. Please excuse some poor audio as we are by no means professionals and are just trying to have a good time...
