As we reach the end of 2022, the Dames take another look at some of their favorite films of the year, and some of the biggest surprises. We also discuss Avatar: The Way of Water, and have, once again, a brief chat about why art can't be measured objectively.

The Dames welcome the wonderful Jazz Tangcay back to the show for a Christmas movie draft! We discuss our fave Christmas and holiday films to come out with definitive lists that cannot possibly be debated. 

This week, the Dames are discussing Joe Dante's holiday classics Gremlins and Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Plus, we have some thoughts on Sight & Sound's Great Films of All Time list!

For this special minisode, the Dames discuss Todd Field's new film, TÁR, starring Cate Blanchett. We do talk about this film in detail, including spoilers. 

This week, the Dames close out Noirvember with Gene Tierney and her iconic film noir roles, including deep dives on the nature of perception and the femme fatale in Laura and Leave Her To Heaven. 

Plus, Karen talks Disney's Strange World and Lauren has feelings about Cate Blanchett in Tar. 

This week we're talking about noir star Richard Widmark, from his Academy Award-nominated debut, Kiss Of Death to his intense work in Night and the City, Panic in the Streets, and Pickup on South Street. Plus, his work in one of Sidney Poitier's earliest films, No Way Out.

We're also talking a bit about the (not?) death of Twitter and whether maybe it's in the best interest of everyone for it to go quickly - though not so gently - into that good night.

The Dames plunge into Noirvember with discussions of Detour, The Blue Dahlia, and Sweet Smell of Success. Plus, what the hell is happening on Twitter?

For this special mini-episode, the Dames discuss Zach Cregger's horror flick, Barbarian, which is now streaming on HBO Max.
