Episode 54: 1988 with Jen Johans
A podcast about the great movie years.
This week, we're talking about movies during the quiet time with the host of Watch with Jen and (relevant to our interests here) the co-host of Midnight Run-Through, Film Intuition's Jen Johans. She's joining us to discuss the formative year of 1988, when her frequent babysitting gigs were highlighted by stacks of such VHS favorites as Bull Durham and A Fish Called Wanda. Plus, BOGOSIAN!
