Make the Case
A podcast to help you fall in love with movies all over again. Each week, Conrad Rothbaum and his co-host ShwinnyPooh come on to "Make the Case" -- that is, to put forth a hot take, argument or simply a new perspective -- about a movie they love. For questions or comments please email us at [email protected] and we might read your email on the air! You can also call us and leave us a voicemail at (818) 538-4966 -- we want to hear from you, and may play your voicemail on the podcast! Follow the show on Twitter at @makethecaseshow. Co-hosts Conrad and Shwin are also on Twitter as @csroth and @shwinnypooh respectively, but if you follow them, be prepared for many, many tweets about the New York Knicks on your feed.
