Hello to fans of Don’t Make Me Watch That, our movie themed podcast hosted by Andrew Young and Leslie Hudson that comes out every two weeks.

If you checked in last week, you may have noticed that we didn’t have an episode for you. That’s because the show is taking a short hiatus for the time being. We’ve had a lot of fun making this show. Both Andrew and Leslie loved sharing the films they love with you. They each especially loved it because the other hated the film that was shared. It’s been a wild ride but we don’t have time at the moment to record new episodes right away. So we’re taking a much needed break.

Here’s a special holiday themed message from Andrew summing up that fact:

So there you have it folks. Check back with us in 2018 to find out the fate of Don’t Make Me Watch That. During this hiatus, why not take a listen to past episodes. The Amazing Spider-Man episode is one of Andrew’s personal favourites. Have a happy holiday and you’ll hear from us in 2018.

If you like what you hear, we’d love to hear from you! Send us an email at [email protected] and put “Don’t Make Me Watch That!” in the subject line. Let us know if you agree with Andrew or Leslie regarding this film or make suggestions on films you’d like to hear us talk about. We may even read your email in a future episode (but only if you want us to). And be sure to like the Don’t Make Me Watch That! Facebook Page for exclusive content you won’t find anywhere else.
