n this episode, Zach and Ted discuss movies they like and why they find certain aspects of film apealing. It is fun to listen in on the discussion. #am #ffm #gutcheckpress

I had been listening to The Happy Rant and loving it. As a result I knew I'd enjoy this podcast and I was completely overjoyed! I love listening to men who do not take themselves so serious and enjoy having meandering conversations. I enjoy listening to the discussions and love when they bring their families into the mix..
