Retro Reviews | Nostalgic Movie Rewatch: Recent Episodes
Ray & Peter
Do the films you grew-up with still hold up? Well, Peter and Ray are here to answer that question in Retro Reviews. We revisit movies that are 10 years or older but we don’t go any further back than the year 1980. Listen, enjoy, repeat.
We are coming back but just not in this episode. This short clip of a show is just me (Ray) letting you know what's going on with the show. Peter and I are coming back in a couple of weeks with a brand new episode. Keep an eye on the feed because October is coming up and that means it's time for some horror! Stay tuned!
