Watch With Jen & Friends: Episode 22 - Drew McWeeny

One of the leading early voices of online film criticism in the days of Ain't It Cool News and HitFix, the friendly and knowledgeable Drew McWeeny shares his insights on his liberating evolution of writing about cinema out of passion instead of publicity, which he does in his popular subscription newsletter Formerly Dangerous.

In an episode that's sure to delight movie lovers everywhere, he discusses the unparalleled thrill of talking about the movie you've just seen at the theater with your friends in the parking lot, his cult-favorite podcast '80s All Over and its upcoming companion book, and the joys of introducing great movies to his sons in order to foster thoughtful discussion.

Wrapping things up by serenading us with a terrific trio of Unjustifiably Unloved movies he would program at the New Beverly Cinema in a minute, this all-encompassing, entertaining episode flew right by when we recorded it and we know it will do the same for you when you press play.
