Date Night at the Movies or How I Spent My Babysitter Money

We are Jordan and Jessica Bennett. We are spouses who work in the Film Industry, and go see movies on our date nights. Now, we record our conversations and get them to listeners like YOU! Prepare yourselves for insights into current releases, the occasional interview from another Industry Pro, and the constant sounds of our dogs making noises in the background while we try to stay on track. And unless Jordan messes it up, each week there's a Drink of the Episode for those who want to join us!
