About

It was the end of CONvergence 2012. Tim, Melissa, and Jena were sitting around at CoF2E2, nerding out about various things, and someone referenced a movie (probably Melissa). Jena didn’t get the reference. No one was surprised.

Jena’s lack of ability to communicate in anything movie was discussed, and the idea of a movie podcast kicked around. It wasn’t the first time Tim and Jena had discussed this possibility. But, no really. This time, they were going to make this happen.

They then promptly put the whole thing on a shelf for 6 months while Tim and Jena launched a theater company. Lazy-asses.

Almost a year later, A Reel Education launched. It’s been a long time coming.
