Timeless TV Dinner Reviews
It started with the phrase, "You couldn't make that today"!
Film enthusiasts, industry professionals and long-time friends, Derrick, Steve, Amy and Kel, have been talking films together for years. They've discussed while on sets, in offices, on trucks, at poker games, and now on a podcast.
TTVDR is a conversationally witty, GenX exploration of the forgotten, underrated, and nostalgic 70s/80s films first enjoyed while eating a Salisbury steak TV tray dinner with the family or at a drive-in with that "it was never going to work" first date.
Before second-screen watching, there was only one screen, a couple channels and an admiration for the art of filmmaking, and the people behind the scenes.
Oh and, millennial, Producer Katie somehow converted one document to a .pdf and now joins to learn about movies she's never seen, while offering her perspective as the representative for the next generation.
