It’s our very first episode—so naturally, we’re rewinding all the way back to the first movies we ever loved. From Grease in a Middle Eastern movie theater to Blockbuster rentals and early crushes on Olivia Newton-John and Freddy Krueger (don’t ask), we unpack how those first cinematic experiences shaped us—and maybe warped us a little too.
Also: John Cena diplomacy, a surprise Priyanka Chopra performance, F1: The Movie (yes, that’s the title), and a controversial Three Amigos memory that may fracture the group.
🎬 Plus: What movie we’re rewatching for next week—and why Gerard thinks Magnolia might just complete Ahmer’s Scientology Cinematic Universe.
