FEATURED FILM: Hard Boiled (1992). OTHER FILMS DISCUSSED: Casablanca (1942), Star Trek III: Return of the Spock (1984), The Shining (1980).

Mixtape and special guest DENNIS jump through the window and slide across the table of memory lane in this hard boiled episode! They discuss popcorn; the evolution of film watching and why we're never happy with where we're sitting; John Woo's movie motivations; and what makes Casablanca so special anyway.

Dennis is the host of the Graphic Novel Explorers Club podcast along with two other nerds known as Aubrey and Johnny, and can otherwise be found taking his wife and kids to the ultimate movie experience with every snack imaginable.

!ARTIST REVEAL! This episode is a wonderful journey into Jurassic World (2015) with the creator of the new Bring Your Own Popcorn logo: Milk Surface! This interview was recorded in March before the Slap heard 'round the world destroyed Hollywood (fingers crossed). Mixtape thought she would finish editing this episode before midnight on March 31st but she played herself for an April fool.

In this ep, Milk and Mixtape talk about friendship, love, respect, empathy, and identity crises -- all the things that you associate with dinosaurs. Non-stop hot pops!

Happy National Popcorn Day! We hope you've got a hot belly full of kernels on this fine winter evening as Chad "IMDB" Opitz takes us into the gateway of horror with Return to Oz (1985). From talking chickens to screaming British punk rockers with wheels for hands, Return to Oz has got something for everyone. Especially for the kids who love to sneak down the stairs to watch that one movie that Mom and Dad said was too scary... We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it -- almost as much as Chad enjoyed his childhood vacation to Hawaii! See you on the other side, kernels.

We're bringing the end of 2021 to a close with The NeverEnding Story, which feels like an aptly titled watch during the endless pandemic of 2019, am I right?! This episode features possibly the first mention of Mixtape's real name, and is being released on her birthday, so you can stalk her pretty good now. Heather's birthday is just two days after Mixtape's, so the Capricorn energy on this episode is off the charts, whatever that means. Something about goats, and popcorn. For sure. Heather and Mixtape talk about Titanic, Metropolis, what Nothing means, and is The NeverEnding Story a trans allegory? Listen to agree! And remember -- TERF wolves are not welcome here. 

(Part 2) This spooky season special features special interviews with spectacular guests talking about spooky movies that had a significant impact on them! In part 2, we've got comedian Melony Ford, filmmaker Dustin Harmon, and father Justin Shobe. Find Melony on social media @mol0gna, Dustin on YouTube as The Valiant Viking and on TikTok as @the.valiant.viking, and if you're ever in a video store in NorCal you just might run into Justin.

This special was a lot of fun to record! Everyone had great stories and experiences to share. Enjoy, and remember: Bring your own popcorn, because Laurie's aunt's cousin's best friend said they found a severed finger in their popcorn bag. But hey... Tis the season.

This episode is all about women in pre-Code Hollywood, and how a couple Catholic men and the Production Code Administration changed the course of the American film industry forever. What was the role of women in the early days of film? What about people of color? Was representation just as bad then? Who were some successful women in the early film industry? Listen to find out! I'm your host, Mixtape Majesty, inviting you to this solo mixtape as we dive into the early days of Hollywoodland.
