Do you ever watch a movie from your childhood & wonder: "Why did I love this so much when I was a kid?" or "Why didn't I notice THAT when I was a kid?" or "WTF did I just watch??" These are the questions that intrepid podcast hosts & brothers Jeff & Matt dive into every week, as they attempt to make sense of their youthful cinematic obsessions, investigate the changing cultural landscape, and hopefully not completely ruin their childhoods in the process.
Welcome to Does it Hold Up?
