Find Your People (Web Series)
This week we give an update on what we watched last week (it’s a funky mix), dive into the creation and wonder that is web series from the mid 2000s, and then look at the newest movies added to all streaming services. The web series we chat about are The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo, Quarterlife, Broad City, Awkward Black Girl.
Next week, we’re going to be talking about Licorice Pizza. It’s in theaters now if you want to see it (we recommend the theater experience for this one if you’re comfortable doing so right now). If not, it isn’t a very spoil-able movie and we have a lot of thoughts either way.
