The How Dare You Podcast

The How Dare You Awards celebrate the biggest wastes of valuable production dollars in Hollywood each year. The How Dare You Podcast celebrates those movies in full with hosts Michael Shantz and Michelle Chu. Each episode they will take on a new terrible movie and discuss each movie fully including which awards it was or could have been nominated for from our awards show. In addition, Lady Chu will often upset Shantz due to the lack of movies she has seen and they will have an occasional How Dare You Teachable Moment in which they declare how dare you Chu not seen this great movie. Join us to see what happens when the unstoppable force of a movie fanatic meets the immovable object that is a movie novice as they dissect what Hollywood has to offer.
