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.

Content Warning: Mention of Sexual Assault, Violence

Wait, who is the guest? In a twist on the formula recurring guest Brendan Connors takes to the host chair to watch the pick of our usual fearless leader. Spared from writing the summary, what will Sophia pick? Surely something cinematic and deep.

Nope! It's Mafia Mamma (2023)!

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
