This week on I'll Show You Mine we're getting musical as Elyse shows James "State Fair" from 1945. The only Rodgers & Hammerstein musical written specifically for the screen, it's a good old fashioned story about the Frake family and one memorable trip to the Iowa State Fair. Join us as we talk about the movie's catchy tunes and uniquely 1940s flair, and James focuses purely on the scenes featuring Blue Boy, the Frakes' massive boar.

Welcome to I'll Show You Mine! This week, Elyse shows James the 1990 film, The Witches, based on the book by Roald Dahl. A movie burned into the brains of many a 90s youth, it's the story of a young boy and his grandmother and their unexpected quest to destroy all the witches in England while on holiday at a seaside hotel, and stop their plan to turn all the children in the country into mice.

We talk about the visceral transformations in this movie, "Cronenberg mice," the terrible changed ending, and nerd out over sweet mouse stunts. Join us, won't you?

Welcome back to another episode of I'll Show You Mine!

This week, James shows Elyse Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, a video game for the N64 that was one part of a multimedia ancillary IP within the Star Wars extended universe, which featured a new villain named Prince Xizor and a familiar-yet-different roguish hero named Dash Rendar.

In this episode, James recalls sleepovers past, Elyse sees an opportunity to flex her film studies muscles and takes it, and we both say "wild" a lot, because this game is very bad.

This week on I'll Show You Mine, we delve into the world of animation as Elyse shows James Turner Feature Animation's last movie, Cats Don't Dance. Though it didn't make big waves at the box office, the film has become something of a cult favorite within animation, and Elyse explains why she loved it so much as a kid. Join us as we vibe to some good good Randy Newman tunes, discuss the "grotesquerie" of classic Warner Bros. animation vs Disney wholesomeness, and forget what year Pocahontas came out (it was '95, Hercules came out in 1997!)

Welcome to another episode of I'll Show You Mine! This week it's James' turn and he shows Elyse the NES version of the 80s arcade classic, Paperboy. It's... kind of a mess. But a nostalgic and silly mess, arguably the best kind. We'll discuss our first memories of gaming, when a game goes from good-difficult to bad-difficult, and then the Grim Reaper shows up. Join us, won't you?

This week on I'll Show You Mine... Elyse shows James the South Korean crime drama, Memories of Murder. Directed by Bong Joon-ho in 2003, the movie follows the true story of Korea's first recorded serial killer in 1986. The film stars Song Kang-ho as Inspector Park Doo-man and Kim Sang-kyung as Inspector Seo Tae-yoon, two detectives with completely opposing views on how best to catch the killer. We'll talk about how this movie differs from its Hollywood counterparts by doing the unexpected, and dig into the rich visual narrative director Bong lays out for the viewer.

P.S. Just a warning, we don't get very graphic in our discussion of the film but this is a story about a series of rapes and murders which may be upsetting.

Welcome back to another episode of I'll Show You Mine! This week, James is showing Elyse a truly formative game, Halo: Combat Evolved. How is it that Elyse has never played such an iconic game? Is it perhaps because she is so bad at shooters? We play through the whole dang campaign and talk about the history and narrative of Halo, its mechanics, and all the ways it changed the game for fans of sci-fi and action. Suit up, Marine!

Welcome to Season 2 of I'll Show You Mine! We're back folks, did you miss us? This week, Elyse kicks things off by showing James "Paris When It Sizzles", starring William Holden and Audrey Hepburn, from 1964. It's a funny and fun meta-journey through the creation of a film script, with a little romance thrown in for flavor.

In this episode, Elyse and James discuss why we love movies, what makes them work, point out some brilliant cameos, and Elyse delves into some of the behind-the-scenes drama involved in this film while waxing poetic about how sexy Holden and Hepburn are.

In Season 2 we've also changed our rating system, so how will James judge "Paris When It Sizzles"?? Take a listen and find out.

Welcome to the season finale of I'll Show You Mine! In this cursed episode, James shows Elyse Donkey Kong 64, a game notorious for a particular type of design and gameplay that developers Rare became somewhat infamous for. Will Elyse's nostalgia for other Rare games endear her to the tale of DK and his Krew of Kongs? Or is Donkey Kong 64 best left in 1999?

We're going to take a week off to prepare for season two, but we'll be back May 16th bigger and better than ever!
