Comedians Mike Bobbitt and Allyson Bobbitt have an eleven year age gap between them. They both love entirely different kinds of movies. Each week one forced the other to watch a movie they love, but realize their partner may not. Allyson grew up with family friendly and endearing movies from the 80s and 90s, while Mike has a soft spot for questionable 80s and 90s horror/sci-fi and action. Mike is also a trivia nerd and dives deep into the background of each movie they discuss.
