Welcome to our new podcast, Old Movies Club. We love movies, but there are a lot of movies we haven't seen and some we'd like to see again. So every two weeks we're going to watch a movie and talk about it, and we'd love for you to join us. We'll announce the movie in advance so you can watch it for yourself, and you can send your insight, thoughts, questions and feedback to [email protected] and follow us on Twitter @oldmoviesclub.
