We're Amber and Mike Tresca: a married couple who decided to celebrate our 50th birthdays by watching some old movies.
A LOT of old movies.
Join us as we watch 50 movies on our date nights and have fun dissecting them.
Each episode is accompanied by an original character Mike created and designed for use in tabletop roleplaying games.
50 Date Night Screams contains mature themes and is intended for adult audiences, so take care when listening.
We’re glad you’re here! Have a seat, grab a glass of your favorite beverage, and get ready to scream along with us!
