Married to Movies

In 1994's Little Women, Desmond will take way too long to tell you why he's not a fan of Winona Ryder. And 1987's The Monster Squad leads your co-hosts down the rabbit hole of a strange conversation about The Wonder Years. We needed a whore! Listen! Or we're all going to diiiiiiieeeee! And you might win a prize! Send questions, comments, and requests to: [email protected] and 206.350.0057.

In an episode with films the other sex is supposed to enjoy there's no bickering, right? Wrong. This episode features reviews of Shane Black's masterpiece of a black comedy, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and the ultimate romantic comedy, Love Actually. Desmond hates movies. But he really loves Shane Black. Megan's favorite scene in an action movie she likes is an action scene? Megan says "hijinx" and then "weft." I don't know what that means! Desmond misuses the phrase "run the gauntlet," and do you think Megan lets him live it down? Oh noooo! Not even when she said "intercede" when she meant to say "intercept" three minutes earlier, and he said nothing. But he's not bitter or anything.

It's musicals and massacres this week as Desmond and Megan take on 2007's Hairspray and 2010's Centurion! Finally, a film finds a way to make John Travolta even worse! Desmond has the hots for Michelle Pfeiffer. Maryland totally isn't the South. Desmond has a hypothesis about Neil Marshall, Megan doesn't like the Ancient Romans and also she doesn't notice voiceovers. She also has something to say about subtitles, and you're going to listen to it! Centurion would have been better if you saw the warriors eat and sleep more. And Desmond has a problem with that, and he's elkist. Listen, if you're interested in gay. Send questions, comments, and requests to: [email protected] and 206.350.0057.

In this episode of Married to Movies, the films are contemplative, but the hosts are in fine form. Aguirre, The Wrath of God (1972) and Howard's End (1992) are under the microscope this week. Who's Facebook-friends with a dead man? Boat physics, incest, Barry White, and the British class system all in one episode? Monkeys swim and horses undergo trauma. Just how many times did Desmond fall asleep during one of the movies? All this, feedback, and more! Send questions, comments, and requests to: [email protected] and 206.350.0057.

The bits are on the table in this episode of Married to Movies as Megan and Desmond cover Planet Terror and Hard Candy. Ladies in red and testicular trauma abound in these films, but they have very little else in common except that Desmond likes them both. But what does Megan think? Listen to find out! Also, feedback abounds! Send questions, comments, and requests to: [email protected] and 206.350.0057.

In their 25th episode, Desmond and Megan celebrate the coming of October with a vampire-themed episode. First up, Desmond doesn't like Twilight but he twies really hard. It's not very good, but it's soooooo romantic! Also, what does Megan think of Blade? The answer might shock you! What are the racial implications of the comic book vampire movie, and which Twilight cast member would fare the worst in prison. The answers to all this and more in this sucky episode!

This episode finishes off the Sporty September with 1977's Slap Shot and 1992's A League of Their Own. Paul Newman is old. And not even dreamy old. And Slap Shot is, in a word, gratuitous. Megan does get a kick out of old timey hockey, but then makes us all cringe with her fear of under-boob trauma. How does the fated relationship between these two podcasting titans revolve around a hockey puck? And who knew that Geena Davis was so damned hot? Mutant Kangaroos?! Pointy bras? What in the hell is going on? Megan gets super-insulted. Desmond's a little too insistent about how hot Geena Davis is. General merriment abounds.

This week it's sports entertainment time! Megan picks 2009's Whip It! and Desmond counters with 2008's The Wrestler. Megan gets aggressive and Desmond gets hot. Does Desmond get racial? Maybe. Prefontaine. Prefontaine is the name he was thinking of. Megan talks bout lighting? What's happening here? Masculine tearjerker sounds wrong. But it's oh so right. Marisa Tomei is fantastic, and yes that's because she's naked the entire time. Megan's need for more of the story in The Wrestler forces Desmond to bust out his screenwriting chops. And Megan shocks Desmond with one of her review scores. Send questions, comments, and requests to: [email protected] and 206.350.0057.

This week, Bogart is a villain and Hepburn draws a third reviewer! First up Megan and Desmond discuss the home invasion film The Desperate Hours before they are joined by their youngest son, Davin for a discussion on Charade. Lots of singing, stinging barbs, and improvised bumpers are found within. Check it out! Every 100th customer gets heroin. Peppermint-flavored heroin!

This week, it's vacation time as Desmond and Megan are getting it on on The African Queen and going on a Roman Holiday. Uh, what? Who's this other Hepburn chick? Bogart is drunk and Canadian in this one, just like our hosts! Leeches? We don't need no stinkin' leeches! The hosts need medicinal leeches, because they went to Africa and got Hep K. Newsflash: Audrey Hepburn is beautiful. Gregory Peck is handsome! All this and more explored within! Send questions, comments, and requests to: [email protected] and 206.350.0057.
