Movies That Raised Us

by Mo & Christina

Once Upon A Time, Mo and Christina met in the big apple. While neither became Princess of Genovia or found their long lost twin sister, they did bond over the movies that put those ideas in their heads. If you long for the days of talking through movies with your best friends, analyzing every juicy detail, and making whatever film you just watched your entire personality- look no further. Sit back and relax, as Mo and Christina cover formative movies, flip phones, and growing up on Movies That Raised Us.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

i discovered this pod two years ago when i was looking for more content about my favorite DCOM (motocrossed) and after one episode i was hooked. i finished all the episodes of movies i had seen, but i wanted MORE!!! i used MTRU as inspiration to start working my way through my decades-long movie bucket list, revisit movies i hadn’t seen in years, and try some wild cards i hadn’t heard of before. at this point i watch movies just so i can listen to the corresponding episode afterward. it’s fun to hear mo & christina’s takes and pick up on details i may have missed. i love my little parasocial film club :) thank you girls! ⭐️ (i forgive you for your passport to paris episode. not everyone can appreciate real cinema.)

I’m a sucker for nostalgic podcasts, and I love that this one features such in-depth recaps of each film. It helps me relive the movies even when I don’t have time to rewatch them myself. Hilarious commentary as well!

deeprazz · Jul 2024

i forgot how i found this podcast but i’m so happy i did!!! mo and christina are so much fun and relatable!! do yourself a favor and listen to these queens talk about the most fun movies and more!

vaguayo · Jun 2024

After a breakup, I started listening as it was always on my list. I started from the beginning and even though I’m still in 2022, I can positively say this podcast is amazing! Mo and Christina don’t know it but they helped me through tricky work days and hellish commutes. Were there when I was moving into a new place and figuring out my new life. Can’t wait to be caught up in 2024!
