Cozy Quilt Cinema

PeaPod Productions

Cozy Quilt Cinema is a warm, emotionally-driven movie podcast hosted by Beth and Michelle, a couple who explore films through personal vibes, feminist frameworks, and heartfelt conversation. From horror classics to indie gems, we stitch together cinematic stories with wit, warmth, and real talk. We often apply the Castellini Test, a tongue-in-cheek feminist film metric created by Bri Castellini, to examine how movies measure up in terms of representation, agency, and nuance.
