Recommend Station
We are Mark and Charlotte: married couple, friends, and parents of two babies called Ted (aka Shrimmy) and Mavi.
Separated by an age gap of 6 whole years, none of our childhood films are the same. We’re on a nostalgic journey of rediscovery and reappraisal as we share these films with each other…and you! (if you’re into it)
Are these films as good as we remember? Will they become childhood staples for our descendants? Or left to gather dust on the VHS shelf.
Let’s board the train for Recommend Station and find out!
