Description

Rachel is a daycare teacher and Brendan is a software developer. With their completely unrelated powers, combined, they bring you alternating episodes on movies and pop culture versus weighty humanist stuff where all their opinions are badly colored by tragic personal experience. It's a real roller-coaster, if you're into that kind of thing.
