We, Tryggvi Þór Kristjánsson from Iceland and Rune Koldborg Jensen from Denmark, will try to bring a different, Nordic perspective to the film discussion. We became fathers three days apart and are now trying to motivate ourselves to watch movies despite having busy lives with 6 month old babies, full time jobs, and various other projects. The motivation lies in making this bi-weekly podcast, where we will talk about new and old movies and TV shows. We are not film critics, but we both enjoy movies and love to talk about them... So why not try to record it as well. In this first (ever) episode, we will discuss Jason Bourne and Bad Moms as well as presenting our top 5 favorite movies. Schedule for this episode: 00:00 - Introduction 05:31 - Jason Bourne 23:42 - Bad Moms 40:22 - Top 5 59:35 - Outro Check out the full list of movies mentioned in this episode by visiting our list on letterboxd: http://bit.ly/TCP001 Legal Stuff: This episode contains soundclips from the trailer of Jason Bourne (2016) and Bad Moms (2016).
