Hey, I'm Aisha Harris.

Now a few weeks ago you might have heard our pal and culturedest reporter Andrew Limbong

talking about the film Babylon here on Pop Culture Half-hour.

While Andrew wasn't only seeing the movie for our show, he was pulling double duty,

also working on an episode of LifeKit and PR's How-To Advice Show to Help People Navigate

Life.

The show offers non-judgmental tips to help people with being human, and in this episode

Andrew gets advice on how to be a better movie watcher, how to pick a film, get outside

of your comfort zone, and deepen your enjoyment of a movie.

latest in indie art house.

Like as I'd kind of annoying, but I miss that person sometimes.

Lately, I've just been passively watching the latest Marvel thing or stuff I've got to

watch for work, but I've been really interested in going back to high school and being intentional

about broadening my movie watching habits.

I'm Bob Mandela, I'm the movie critic for All Things Considered.

Needless to say, he watches a lot of movies.
