Matinée with Maria & Julia

Sup, Matinerds! We've officially been putting out podcasts for ONE YEAR! To celebrate, we got some wine, we got some beer, and we answered your burning questions. Things get a little wacky, but it was a lot of fun.

Thanks so much for listening. We super appreciate it!!!

Listen up, humble peasants!

This episode, we're heading back to the 18th century (but also to 2006) to discuss the historical fiction affair Marie Antoinette.

We're joined by Marie Anne Demestihas, our Greek-French Correspondent (just made that up) to discuss the famous queen, and equally importantly:  giant wigs with boats on them, marrying your brother by proxy, and Sofia Coppola's whitewashed worlds.

It's part history lesson, part film critique, part gossip sesh.

This episode, we ask many big questions: If you could change the past, WOULD YOU? If you study psychology, do you need to have worms in your dorm room? Is it wrong to change somebody's future without their consent? ...and what does being a Scorpio Moon have to do with all this?

Travel through time and trauma with us  this week,  as we're joined by A Human Space's Malek Robbana (all the way from Tunisia!) to discuss the sci-fi memory thriller, The Butterfly Effect (2004).

Are we on glue? Or is every line in this film quotable?

This week, we're joined by Erin Lee to discuss the white feminist masterpiece Legally Blonde (2001). We chat about the dynamics of female frenemies, admire Elle's unwavering enthusiasm, and share our own experiences embracing our femininity in the workplace.

You may not have seen this movie, but you're gonna wanna listen to this convo!

This week, we're joined by academic & archivist Misty-Dawn MacMillan to discuss the Drew Barrymore mental-illness road trip romance Mad Love (1995). Misty talks us through what it's REALLY like to date while bipolar, the dark side of the manic pixie dream girl trope, and why staring at your crush through a telescope is just straight up uncool.

This week, we're joined by Matinée's newest pal, musician Naomi Froese, to talk about their love of the cartoon classic Balto (1995). We discuss the ways in which the film breaks down binaries, showcases the beauty of a chosen family, and poses the question WHY WOULD ANYBODY LIVE IN ALASKA? What a sweet ride this movie is!
