Let's talk about every single Berenstain Bears book, shall we?
This is a podcast where a dad (Phil) and his adult child (Willow) talk about films and books and sometimes Guillermo del Toro.
Megan Sunday and Beau North discuss Frank Herbert's 'Dune' series, chapter-by-chapter.
We watch the first 10 minutes of movies we know nothing about, then predict what happens next.
