Jaret Goes to the Movies is a weekly podcast created by Jaret Reddick and Rich Coleman. The first episode, about Back to the Future, was released on October 23, 2015. Jaret Goes To The Movies was really the idea of co-creator Rich Coleman. Rich met Jaret Reddick at a get together and decided that Jaret needed to do a podcast. So he presented the idea of doing a movie podcast together. Fast forward to 4 years and over 190 episodes later, Jaret is now joined on the show by his trivia loving friend Eric Dillow, and of course, his lovely wife Casey, and Producer Sean! The dynamic of the show has never been better and new features are popping up all the time! The show features round-table discussions on favorite movies from the one or more of the hosts' past and the podcast maintains its tagline, "This is movie commentary with no movie knowledge". In 2016, Jaret Goes to the Movies was nominated for People's Choice Podcast Awards in the TV/Film category.
