Random Access Memory or TWIG RAM is our shoot from the hip media agnostic discussion podcast. Join Birdman, Ken, David, and Adam as we discuss media we’ve consumed either off the cuff or with a specific vague topic in mind…as well as a few off topic tangents that might pop into our heads along the way.

This time, Birdman, Ken, and David talk about where our movie love began and where we discovered movies on our TV screens. If it was on the many movie channels some of which don’t exist anymore or even the ones that many of you have found your own movie treasures.

Jack into our Random access memories here on TWIG!
