London to Brooklyn

Ilona Calatayud

Two friends who know a lot about everything and a little about nothing go in depth into pop culture. Barely qualified but very excited to be here, they’ll get to the bottom of all things movies, television, books, and music. Well, not all things. Only the stuff they really like; with some occasional travel tips and politics chats. Meeting in London and now living in Brooklyn, Elle and Ilo are here to make you laugh, groan, and on occasion, think about the world.
