The hosts of the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, know that feeling all too well.

It was flat out just a movie the two of them wanted to watch, and it just so happens to be turning 30 year old this year. Hear our guys gush about seeing green and remembering good memories.
