Join Bethany and Joel chatting about food, a weird topic for us both because of how we are both picky eaters but we also both really enjoy food movies! Nothing to bring folks together like a great meal and people obsessed with making it, as both our movies explore. Good times. Stay tuned as well for a small extra segment on the NYT Best Movies of the 21st Century and our picks for that.
