Jen and Tim mildly disagree on a Sam Raimi film that didn't quite hit with audiences the first time around, the gender-swapped revenge tale The Quick and the Dead.

You can watch some deleted scenes from the film, including the love scene between Sharon Stone and Russell Crowe (or "liebesszene," as it's described here, because it's dubbed in German. A couple of the non-sexy scenes are missing audio, probably because those elements were lost after the theatrical edit was finalized.

Jen raised the notion that women are better shots than men, but there's no real consensus. This study indicates that men and women are equally good at sharpshooting, apart from a slight advantage displayed by men with pistols. Well there goes the whole premise of the movie!!

Yes, Sam Raimi did credit Joss Whedon with helping him on the ending of The Quick and the Dead, but we won't hold that against him.

Tim and Jen invite the world's greatest Garfield scholar, Bitter Karella, to chat about a TV special inspired by a comic that traumatized a generation, Garfield: His 9 Lives.

Read Misunderstanding Comics, the funniest comic Scott McCloud never wrote, written by Tim and illustrated by Bitter Karella! Make Tim get those copies out of storage!

Have You Seen This...Dirty Cartoon? In case you missed our hilarious riff of Eveready Harton, you can watch it here, since you're a patron!

See some pages from the story Tim enthused about, the 1984 G.I. Joe comic "Silent Interlude."

Jen and Tim swab the deck with a hygiene film straight from the U.S. Navy, The Story of D.E. 733: Ship of Shame. Actually, turns out it's pretty good, even with all the sores!

See the film in two parts (first reel and second reel) over at the Periscope Film YouTube channel, but be warned that it contains insert shots of male genitalia with symptoms of sexually transmitted infections. Wrap it before you tap it!

Jen says Mike Pence was governor of Iowa when she should have said Indiana. As she is a lifelong coastal elite, the states in the middle of the country just merge into a big blur when she looks at them. Anyway, the HIV outbreak started when Pence balked at funding needle exchanges for injection drug users.

See photos from the wartime U.S. Naval Photographic Services Depot, which produced The Story of D.E. 733.

The song the sailors are singing at the beginning of the film is "Bell Bottom Trousers," which was adapted from an extremely saucy folk ballad called "Rosemary Lane." Wikipedia has the original spicy lyrics.

Tim and Jen brave the crowdfunded sequel to Showgirls, a mindbogglingly lengthy auteur statement called Showgirls 2: Penny's From Heaven.

The entire thing is the work of bit-part Showgirls (the original) actress Rena Riffel, who wrote, directed, edited, and starred in...this.  Please don't be mad at us Rena we love you

See Rena's pivotal appearance in Tim's beloved Fishmasters, the low-budget but charming San Luis Obispo-area TV show mentioned in the episode.

Geeks of Doom had some hilariously wrong information about the film when the first trailer and crowdfunding appeal droppped:

We've seen it, and it's not that. Luna Guthrie at Collider treats the movie much more kindly than we do, if you want a different take.

Finally, please watch Jen's video mashing up R.O.T.O.R. with Midi, Maxi, and Efti, and follow us on YouTube if you're not sick of us already!

Jen and Tim contextualize the band that ruled Nixon's America, The Carpenters, for Todd Haynes's early dollhouse biopic, Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story.

Watch the film on the Internet Archive, but don't tell Richard Carpenter you did!

Entertainment Weekly took a look back at the film in the aftermath of the unstoppable cultural juggernaut that was the Barbie movie.

Friend of Todd Haynes and producer Christine Vachon spilled some info on the restoration of Superstar in 2023.
