Creator and Host

Tim Williams was born in the 1970's and fell in love with movies at a young age. Whether he saw an 80's flick in the movie theater, on HBO, on VHS or even edited for television during a network "Movie of the Week", each one made an impression (good or bad) and developed his appreciation for cinema.
Tim is happily married with one daughter and when he's not podcasting, you can find him working his administrative day job, traveling with his family, or volunteering at the local community theater.
Some of his favorite 80's flicks are "Back to the Future", "Batman", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", "Fletch", and "The Goonies".
