What a Picture
What a Picture is a movie podcast where Hannah and Bryan Loomis cover the best in non-franchise films and discuss what makes a great film great. Hannah and Bryan love original filmmaking across all genres. Are you an obsessive Oscar nominated movie watcher? Are you always looking forward to the next A24 or Neon release? Then we’ll probably get along! Movies covered include any new releases we’re interested in, as well as the historic winners of the Academy Award for Best Picture. New episodes generally release on Saturdays, twice monthly.
