Depp Impact

Jenna is joined by the talented singer, actor, and Elm Street scholar Carlos Castillo (Instagram: @cemanuelcastillo)! They deep dive into the iconic Nightmare and (almost) all of the sequels, since Jenna has only seen the first two. A celebration of crop tops, Heather Langenkamp, and a bed full of blood. Johnny Depp's first film role. It's wild to see "Introducing... Johnny Depp" in the credits. There is a hiccup at the 52 minute mark, so apologizes in advance. I'm new in town.

Jenna is joined by college friend and resident Edward D. Wood Jr. fan Dane Eissler (www.daneeissler.com) to talk Ed Wood! They discuss the beautiful Bunny Beckinridge, Tim Burton's muses, and how earnest (and queer!) this black and (pretty decidedly) white, movie is.

Jenna is joined by Meg Williams to talk about Cry Baby! Meg gives credit where credit is due and agrees this movie was responsible for all sorts of naughty thoughts at the AMC Marlton 8. They celebrate Mink Stole, Jenna discusses the true murder that inspired the film, and they swoon over Johnny Depp's single tear and Traci Lords in all of her beautiful glory. 

In this time of civil revolution, I would be remiss to mention that this podcast does not stand for those who hate others. The world is changing and organizations working towards good need your time and/or money. Black lives matter.

Black Visions Collective

Broad Street Ministry

Women's Medical Fund

Jenna is joined by Donovan Lockett (www.donovanlockett.com) to talk to Edward Scissorhands! Jenna keeps saying Edward Scissorhands was made in 1999. It was not. It was made 1990.

10 minutes in, Jenna has an audio malfunction while Donovan is doing a plot description, but then Jenna fixes it and we're off. Jenna and Donovan celebrate Joyce, the neighbor, and the Frankenstein/Pinocchio allegories in a movie about a very pale man doing very pale things in a very white town. 

In this time of civil revolution, I would be remiss to mention that this podcast does not stand for those who hate others. The world is changing and organizations working towards equality and systematic reform need your time and/or money. Black lives matter.

Philadelphia Young Playwrights

Black Lives Matter Philly

Jenna is joined by Philadelphia actor, musician, Sondeheim fan, and friend (of the show) Alex Bechtel! (www.alexbechtel.com)

Alex and Jenna talk about how great Alan Rickman is and how much Sweeney Todd (the musical) ignited their love of the macabre and alternative musical theatre. They explore why everybody in this movie is whispering and have big pronunciation questions that make them apologize to their acting teachers. Jenna can't stop talking about the Pretty Women sequence because it's the best.

Jenna is joined by Katherine Perry (www.katherineperry.net), Philadelphia personality and friend, to talk about What's Eating Gilbert Grape?. They discuss Gilbert's changing hair color, the beauty and  tragedy of Momma, and Juliette Lewis' bucket hat.

Jenna is joined by the only other person she's spent a significant amount of time with in Quarantine, Dan Scully of Cinema76.com and the I Like to Movie Movie Podcast! One of their Quarantine projects was to watch all of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, which sounded like a chore at first, but was actual way more delightful than either of them anticipated! They discuss Dead Man's Chest and At World's End while drinking hard seltzers and beer.

New format! Jenna will be having guests on to talk about a Johnny Depp movie instead of talking to herself, unless she absolutely has to talk to herself because nobody remembers having watched The Astronaut's Wife!

Jenna talks about Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, and gives a very bad synopsis. Shares small snippets of dialogue from the POTC fan fic, "Steamy Sexy Caribbean Summer" written by "Me", whoever me is, because it isn't Jenna. A mini-solo episode. A test of sorts.
