How We Seeez It is a review podcast all about how we see it. Steve and Noah talk movies, TV shows, and pair each episode with original cocktails inspired by the topic of the week. We mostly cover film and television, but we are always open to diving into whatever else catches our interest.
Steve is more of the film guy, while Noah leans more toward action, which makes for fun conversations and different takes on what we watch. Come listen as we break things down, share our opinions, and see where we agree, where we don’t, and what makes each movie or show worth talking about.

How We Seeez It! Episode 339, The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
“I’m just one stomach flu away from my goal weight.” - Emily Charlton
Director David Frankel’s stylish and endlessly rewatchable(?) look into ambition, identity, and the compromises we make along the way. With Meryl Streep’s iconic Miranda Priestly, Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs, Stanley Tucci’s scene-stealing Nigel, and Emily Blunt’s unforgettable Emily, The Devil Wears Prada still has plenty to talk about 20 years later. Join us as we discuss the film’s lasting appeal, Andy’s choices, the great Nate debate, Miranda’s power, and whether the ending wraps things up a little too neatly. Do Steve and Noah see eye to eye, or are they walking different runways? And of course, don’t forget about the cocktails for this episode. Apparently, high fashion pairs well with caffeine.
As always, mix a drink, have a listen, and let us know what you think. If there is something you watched that we might enjoy, or a can’t-miss series we should check out, send it our way. Also, please rate and review the show on all your favorite podcast apps.
