Seen on the Small Screen Podcast
Greetings and welcome to Seen on the Small Screen. In this podcast, hosts Becky and Jake talk about movies made for television cinema. Listen as they ramble aimlessly, attempting reviews of television movies, pilot episodes, direct-to-DVD releases, and streaming service movies. They'll watch video movies from any decade, both past and present. Nothing is safe so long as it's exclusive to your home or pants pocket viewer of choice. New episodes will be released during the first full week of the month.
