Our Stalwart Stallions have enlisted the help of the hilarious Atlanta-based actor Irene Polk to decode this strange new direction of the Honey saga. What in the hell is this new textured, realistic tone and what new wrinkles does it add to Bille Woodruff: Auteur? Yes the screenwriter was white, but was she "went to Harvard and wrote three sequels to the Prince & Me" white? Weird colorism! The theatrical process! The worst love interest in the history of Honey Movies! It's all in here folks! 

The Boogeying Broncos take you inside one of the most feverish episodes they've ever recorded: the 2011 sequel to Honey, directed by returning auteur Bille Woodruff. How would our Horses fare if they competed on the daytime reality show "Dance Battle Zone?" What makes a "bad" movie likable or fun? Who let poor Seychelle Gabriel's accent happen-- was it Bille? We also discuss the possible reasons that immaculate twink Randy Wayne could have been cast as the romantic lead-- probably merit, mostly. This is the Honey 2 of episodes! 

"I said, I want HONEY." The horses take on their next film series- Honey (2003) directed by Bille Woodruff! After watching this heartwarming, vanilla dance flick, the gang discusses: their continued respect for Jessica Alba, the evolution of Bille's directorial career, winning performances by unreasonably hot people, corny/iconic moments, and what good dancing is. 

Our girl is back, and problematic as ever! The horses take on: a modern-day Bridget, a perplexing love triangle, anti-millennial "jokes" :) , Patrick Dempsey's inexplicable choices, and Italians.

Big Lawyer. Big Liar. Big Dilemma. The horses welcome their first ever guest-- Bridget Jones scholar Ellen Selby-- and remain extremely apologetic to their first ever guest-- Bridget Jones scholar Ellen Selby-- because they made her watch the film Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason again

Oh yes we fucking did. The Horses embark on a new series: a rare rom-com franchise, the uber-loved BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY. We discuss painful 2001isms, unnecessary constant humiliation of lovely female leads, the well acted and sometimes reprehensible male love interests, fat-shaming of thin women, and all the stuff that got that girl an OSCAR NOM.

The Horses face the for-now finale of Universal's misbegotten Mummy series, 2017's the Mummy!

It mostly sucks! 

HERE WE GO AGAIN! The Horses take on the truly depressing MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR, the final outing for the O'Connell family, and Brendan's last crack at the bat for the series. We discuss the unsettling absence of Rachel Weisz, the Chinese coproduction of this movie, the inability to recapture the charms of the first two... and whatever happened to Brendan Fraser. Content warning: sexual assault. Solidarity and love to survivors forever. We also talk about Yetis.

Your Favorite Funky Foals are desecrating an all new grave with 2001's THE MUMMY RETURNS! Stephen Sommers and darn-near the entire cast return to double-down on everything Becky loved (and everything Dixon hella didn't) about the original Mummy, as Brendan Fraser enters the era of the Middle Part-- and begins to get taken for granted as screen presence. The Horses talk about what it's like to adore a movie against all logic, whether or not the magic of the first movie can be recaptured, and the stylistic fingerprint (and limitations) of the mighty Alan Silvestri. God damn this episode is long. Follow us on instagram at @deadhorsepodcast okay??

HEY BENNY! This week, the Podcasting Ponies resurrect Universal's Mummy franchise for another hyper-earnest, ultra-forensic deep dive on Bisexual America's favorite imperialist adventure series, as well as the peculiar skillset/career of one unmistakable goober who captured the hearts of a generation: Brendan God Damn Fraser. The horses discuss nostalgia-for-nostalgia, orientalism, film music, and the absolute dang racket of physically obtaining a college degree. Brendan call me
