It’s good to be back from winter break!
Our theme for this week isn’t any genre or director or actor… this week, our theme is alphabet soup. We picked a movie starting with each letter of the alphabet and played one song from each movie. 26 songs from 26 movies that stand for each of the 26 letters of the alphabet. Enjoy, and don’t forget to bring a sweater.
