Media Morsels episodes

  • Army of Darkness (1992)
    Our Medieval March continues with Army of Darkness, a film that's truly a feast for ham-lovers everywhere. Our first Table-Turner episode, Mitch sits at the head of the table for this episode as we explore the wild, strange, and downright loopy turns of this movie. Beware: bad jokes and raunchy humor ahead!

  • Ever After (1998)

    Together with our guest-host Claire, we take our time savoring this delightfully gourmet version of Cinderella. We chat about what makes Ever After so superior to other Cinderella re-tellings, high-school History class movies, and verisimilitude in historical fiction. Drew Barrymore, Dougray Scott, and the incomparable Angelica Huston bring their considerable talents to bear here and humanize these timeless fairy-tale characters.

  • A Knight's Tale (2001)
    To kick off Medieval March, we'll be feasting at the jousting tournies as we watch A Knight's Tale (2001). Starring Heath Ledger, Mark Addy, Alan Tudyk, and a host of other great actors and actresses, this famously anachronistic film isn't like your other medieval historical dramas! Find out why, and maybe stick around to hear us discuss Alan Tudyk tiddy, the crackling-with-some-kind-of-tension rivalry between William and Count Adhemar, and how this movie could be easily converted into an absolutely baller shounen anime.

  • Warm Bodies (2013)
    Our final meal in the Month of Romance, Warm Bodies is a sweet (and... brainy?) dish to experience with loved ones. Light on the gore, heavy on the cute, refreshing in its optimism, we highly recommend pairing it with something body- and soul-warming like hot chocolate (or, if you're a zombie, maybe some fresh brains). Different from its "realistic" gritty and grimdark zombie-flick brethren, we delight in its big heartedness as we discuss style vs vibes, the value of community, and the advantages of leaving some things unexplained.

  • The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947)
    Join us for a seaside picnic as we talk about The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, our first Hays Code Era film and an unusual love story between a flesh-and-blood woman and the ghost that haunts her house. Come for the romance, stay for the dragging of Mr. Fairley and Realtor Mitch's loving description of the oh-so-charming Gull Cottage!

  • Dan in Real Life (2007)
    Our meal for this second week of our Valentine's Extravaganza is Dan in Real Life (2007), a heartwarming romantic dramedy about family, love, and second chances. Join us as we savor this excellent offering for its depiction of healthy masculinity and middle-aged romance, and stick around for our lively discussion about T-Shirt slogans and vigorous debate about whether Dan smashed-or-passed on Emily Blunt's character Ruthie.

  • Down With Love (2003)
    We start out this Valentine's Month with Down With Love (2003), a rom-com starring Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor that pays homage to the zany sex-comedies of the 60s. Join us (and the set pets) around the dinner table as we discuss sex a-la-carte, ham vs. camp, and the merits of using chocolate as a sex substitute.

  • Willow (1988)
    On this week's episode of Media Morsels, we sit down with special guest Claire to sink our teeth into the delectable morsel that is Willow (1988). We discuss such topics as lady-wizard fights, dreamy cottage-core vibes, and healthy masculinity. What can we say? We love to see wholesome dads on going on adventures and himbo scoundrels fighting in dresses!

  • Stargate (1994)
    This week, we sit down and make a meal of Stargate (1994), the movie predecessor to the hit TV shows Stargate SG:1 and Stargate: Atlantis. We talk about its ambitious aesthetics, attempt at historical linguistics, foundation in Ancient Aliens pseudoscience, and much more as we take our time savoring this forgotten award-winning blockbuster.

  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)

    On our inaugural episode of Media Morsels, we serve up our choicest observations about Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992), the movie that Joss Whedon hated so much he made a whole TV show to fix it.


    While Joss might have hated the movie, we LOVE it! Pull up a chair and join us at the table as we talk about the movie's meme supremacy, its funky (and fun!) acting choices, the 90s feminism inherent to this wonderfully campy creation, and so much more.
