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.
