Two years ago, two young comedians went for a walk in West L.A. Like all other live performers, they were struggling with how to respond to the COVID shut-down, as one venue after another closed its doors.
Siena and Lianna had heard about a national iHeart contest to find “America’s Next Great Podcast’. Mostly, though, the two friends joked about how often they were confronted with filmbro diatribes on the ‘great classic films’ with which they, two theater majors, weren’t familiar.
“I know!”, one said, “Let’s launch a podcast where we’ll watch every one of the top 100 films of all time and talk about ‘em!”
So, they entered the contest;
and …
And so was born…
This month, 100 episodes later, @tossedpopcorn just completed its second iHeart season as the winner of the 2021 iHeart ‘Next Great American Podcast’.
Do yourself a favor — find a film, listen to an episode; laugh, learn, and laugh again. There’s a ‘starter kit’ for newbs… and so much more content …
So, cheers…
…to two wonderful comedic entrepreneurs who turned dark times light and bring so many of us so much laughter and joy.
