Hello! This week, we're talking about the latest (and weirdest?) round of Old Movie Naysayers and how ignoring old films means ignoring an important record of our cultural history.  Plus we discuss how you're missing out on the experience of Oscar Micheaux and other Black filmmakers and their incredible, vital art.

Our February bonus episode is here! Listen to two very white women talk about Shaka King's exceptional film, Judas and the Black Messiah.

The Dames spend this week talking about how Joss Whedon is even more of a Garbage Person than we originally imagined, how Britney Spears was done wrong by the media, and how Mae West threatened patriarchy so much, they had to make up an entire code of censorship to stop her.

This week, the Dames have a lot to discuss including:

• We say good bye to Cloris Leachman and Cicely Tyson

The Dames discuss the films they want to see in 2021, plus:

• That whole inauguration of a new president thing

This week, the Dames talk about all the best movies, performances, and directors of 2020. Enjoy!

The Dames spend some time discussing current events, including the insurrection at the Capitol, how analysis of film and media is not only important but necessary to understand the cultural zeitgeist, and whether or not Parasite is "odd."

The Dames close out the holiday season discussing our favorite holiday movies, with some lesser known ones suggested by our listeners! Plus:

• Why the ending of The Baby Yoda Show was (kinda) dumb

Happy Holidays everyone!

We have a bonus bonus this month! Even though Mank didn't win the poll, we decided to review it anyway and tell you allllll our thoughts about David Fincher's latest film. There WILL be spoilers, so you might want to watch the film first and then listen to what we have to say about it.
