THANK GOD IT’S (ONCE AGAIN, AT LONG LAST)…FRIDAAAAAY!

Welcome to SEASON TWO of A Couple of Old Fashioneds: Becca and Joe’s Double Feature Date Night at the Movies!

On this inaugural episode of our grand return to your eyeballs and earholes, the Theme is, for self-evident reasons, “Making a Comeback”, and the movies are:

THE NATURAL & REVENGE!

Join Becca and Joe as they once again discuss their different interpretations of what it means to Make a Comeback and the nature of Comeback Movies. Will a 1980s baseball drama and a 2010s body horror make for a delightful flavor combination or leave a sour taste? And who picked which? Watch the episode to find out if you guessed right, and stay tuned to the end to find out what the theme will be next week!

Don’t forget now the show is its own broadcast to subscribe to its YouTube and Podcast channels and stay up to date on latest episodes! Follow it on Instagram and Letterboxd to follow the complete movie lists and let Becca and Joe know whether you agree with their picks, and what you would’ve chosen yourself.

After all, the greatest gift a movie lover can give another is a great title they have yet to discover. That’s what movies are all about - they’re the only kind of marathon worth participating in and they’re what Date Nights are made for.

So settle in, grab your favorite old fashioned drink with your favorite old fashioned person (if that’s the pleasure of your own company then we completely feel you), and revel in a couple old fashioned conversations with Becca and Joe. They are, let’s face it, a pretty old fashioned kind of couple themselves.
