Movie Microscope

Nick Nunziata, Justin Waddell

Nick Nunziata and Justin Waddell have been podcasting about movies since 2005 on CHUD.com and now in this weekly show discuss the little moments that make or break in the movies we all love and hate. Don’t be expecting cutting edge film criticism, just a whole lot of zooms as well as the various businesses, sequels, tattoos, and other assorted minutiae the boys would like to create for each film. Each episode ends with a different track from one of Nick's many bands.
