Hi there! Debs here, and welcome to my podcast "Debs' Watchlist," where I share all the movies and shows on my watchlist. Sometimes this show is a solo-cast, and other times, it's conversations with special guests or friends. Regardless, if you like to nerd out over films and TV or if you need recommendations on what to watch, then check out this podcast!

(FYI, this podcast was also formerly known as "Movies with Debs.")
