Totally Pretentious

Totally Pretentious is a movie discussion podcast hosted by two movie dorks who would rather spend their weekends watching and talking about movies than taking out the garbage or just about any other mundane task. Of course, dorks though we may be, we’re still of the mindset that there are far too many great films that never get the awards recognition they deserve. Each episode, we discuss one feature film, exploring its historical context, themes, legacy, and/or its artsy-ness. Totally Pretentious is part of The Skiffy and Fanty Show podcast network.
