How Could You Podcast:  Lauren and Ryan Tocci, two devoted film obsessives, fell in love at a movie theater and never quite left.  The How Could You?! podcast started, because, as two serious cinephiles they had some pretty serious gaps in their film knowledge.  How could you have never seen “The Goonies?” is the question that started it, but the podcast has grown to cover all manner of great cinematic debates, films you just have to see, Oscar season, and most of all a lifetime shared obsession and deep abiding love of the movies.
