Film Yak is a weekly podcast featuring in-depth movie discussions. Each week one of our cohosts chooses a film for the three of us to watch, discuss, debate, angrily gripe about, and sometimes even praise. After the discussion, we play a nice round of Letterboxd roulette to see what film two of the cohosts will be saddled with watching and reporting on during the subsequent episode.Follow us on IG: @filmyakpodcastSubscribe to us and rate us on iTunes, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Thanks for listening.
