Welcome back to The Super Podcast and another Movie Swap episode with your hosts Super Marcey, Bede Jermyn and returning guest Buddy Watson! So what is a Movie Swap? Well the hosts and guest each picked a film to give to the other – Marcey picked for Buddy, Bede Picked for Marcey and Buddy picked for Bede. The idea is to pick a film that the person hasn’t seen before and discuss! The theme for this Movie Swap was ‘Foreign Films From The 00s’.
This episode, Marcey gave Buddy the film The Twilight Samurai (2002) to watch, Bede gave Marcey the film Yesterday (2004) to watch and Buddy gave Bede the film Confessions (2010) to watch! The films may be quite different, however there are some similarities and they are award winners and contenders!
