Remember when you and your friends just finished seeing an awesome movie and your exit the theater and head into the lobby and gush about all of the moments you loved? "Oh my gosh when the semi flipped I was screaming!" "Dude, that moment when she was in the room and the killer was right there?!" "Holy crap that soundtrack!!!" "Oh my stomach hurts so bad, I've never laughed so hard in my life." "And when Mike Tyson shows up? That was freaking hilarious!" That's where Cinema Gush lives. Join Brendon and Nic as they adventure through their favorite movie experiences, bringing on guests from a wide range of backgrounds to talk about the movies that changed their lives.

I'm just gonna say what I'm feeling: If you've enjoyed any part of our podcast this year, you will love this episode. Today we are joined by all around renaissance man Tom Provost. Tom is a director, writer, producer, professor of film, and all around treasure trove of movie insights.
Today he joins us to talk about The China Syndrome. This 1979 journalism drama is about a fictionalized cover-up at a nuclear power plant. It's dynamite. I would say that is the topic of today's podcast but that would short change it. This is a cinematic deep dive and we can't wait for you to hear it.

It's a testament to your podcasting skills that you've convinced me to watch a movie with Jane Fonda (yuck) about a potentially politically charged issue (yuck). Definitely put this on the watch list!
