Rectangles Podcast
Film-loving partners Janackeh and Nick get together each week to riff on everything from cult classics and hidden-gem documentaries to current blockbusters and trending series. Their conversations blend sharp observations, easy humor, and the kind of back-and-forth you’d hear from friends arguing over the remote.

Ep.12 Genre Analysis #1: True Crime
