Moviestruck: A podcast about movies and the people who watch them Every week host Sophia Ricciardi is joined by a different guest to talk shop about a different movie. The catch? Every episode's movie is the guest's choice, and any movie is on the table. From Sky High to Ben-Hur, we explore the movies we love, and why we love to watch them.

Happy Father's Day from Moviestruck! Once more Sophia's real Dad joins the podcast to help shed some light on why she is the way she is. This year we journey into the world of Kung Fu with Ip Man (2008), and if nothing else, we hope it inspires you to take to the street with your friends and practice your moves.
