About

Emily and Amanda are here to chat about all things books, movies, and TV shows.  You’ll hear our Top 3 books and movies from January. The theme of this episode is war. Emily watched a lot of movies set during wartime and Amanda read books set during WWII and war in space. In our Mentionables segment we talk about everything that didn’t make our top 3 lists. Older movies like Almost Famous show why they are still classics while newer movies like The King won’t be remembered. We’d love to hear what you think about what we discussed. You can now find us on Instagram at @SRSWpodcast!
