About this listen

Do You See What I Mean is a conversational film and culture podcast where hosts Mia and Joe unpack movies, performances, relationships, and the unspoken dynamics underneath them. Each episode blends sharp cultural analysis, lived experience, and humor to explore how we tell stories about love, work, art, and identity—and where those stories fall short or rise to the challenge.

From classic films and prestige indies, to modern remakes and pop-culture moments, Mia and Joe aren’t interested in hot takes for shock value. They’re interested in clarity: what works, what doesn’t, and why it lands the way it does. Expect thoughtful disagreement, deep dives into character and performance, and the kind of conversations you keep having after the movie ends.

If you’ve ever said, “Do you see what I mean?”—this show is for you.
