We rip off the layers of Coralie Fargeat's The Substance. We talk about ageism, white girl skinny culture, and how the film takes the violently unrealistic expectations placed on women and explodes them. Ultimately we engage with the movie's subtle question to the viewer: Would you take the substance?

Hey dolls! It's the episode you've all been waiting for, the one where we get into the absolute mania that was the cinema this summer. In this episode, we talk about all the different releases of movies in theaters, the receptions, streaming vs cinematic experiences, and overall discussions of our reviews for each film. We explore across genres, from horror to comedy to drama. The movies we get into this episode are Talk to Me, The Little Mermaid, Haunted Mansion, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Past Lives, Into the Spider-verse, Hard Feelings, and finally Oppenheimer.

Hi Barbies! Kens, Allans, and Mothers thanks so much for joining us for this special episode of A to Z where we get into Barbie (2023) directed by the wonderful Greta Gerwig with our amazing guest, Alissa (ig: ahleesax). We get into our reviews of the movie, feminist themes, the reception, and the fan-favorite topic, capitalism. Tune in for our next episode on Girlhood!

Welcome horror virgins and veterans alike this is a very special spooky episode where we get into two different horror films. One is horror movie cult classic Scream (1996) and the other is psychological thriller, Last night in Soho (2021) and its NOT spoiler free (you've been warned). We also discuss some typical horror conventions, commentary these films make on misogyny and some fun recommendations for shows and movies to get into the spooky spirit.

Welcome to this special episode of A to Z where we get into one of the movies of the summer (we loved you Barbenheimer) and instant queer cinematic classic Bottoms (2023). So grab a bev while we tipsily take you through the plot, the fine ass cast (seriously we had trouble knowing where to look half the time), the reception, and our opinions.

This is a special one.

Today we are diving into the sweetness of girlhood by honoring our relationships, reflecting on growth, and celebrating the decision to choose ourselves for the rest of our lives.

Welcome to our season finale! We thank you so much for listening and engaging with us and can wait to show yall what we got in store for season 2 of A to Z. In this episode, we get into so many topics and make so many references. We get into music, culture, film, aesthetics, new-age music-making, artistry, and the looming future of the industry in light of AI. This is an especially unique episode not only because of our wonderful guest star, Krithi (stream tangible love) but because this is our first podcast episode with a visual aspect to it. We've posted this episode on youtube! So you get to see our lovely faces as we discuss. We hope you enjoy it and thank you so much for streaming. Follow us! ig: @aurenzoe

It's that time again! For those unaware, it's that time me and Zo rant about rom-coms and the many implications of them for an hour and you all listen. Hope y'all are still 'in the mood for love' (please go watch that movie and have your brain rewired) because in this episode, we get into our least favorite rom-coms, tropes, and why Cameron Diaz should've gotten the FUCK away from that white man in 'My Best friend's wedding'. Also if there's anything to learn from this episode is that Shrek is the superior rom-com (and Aurelise forgot to mention "Something Borrowed" (2011) sucks). 

Welcome to episode one of our thoughts and feelings corner! a continuous series where we're just gonna be sitting and chatting about how something things make us feel, it'll be less academic in nature and more engaging with our senses and observations.  The intention of this episode was to discuss our feelings around the larger conversation of body dysmorphia and the role it plays in society. In this ep, we get into beauty standards, youth, and Ariana Grande for some reason a lil bit (we love you mother).
