Men Who Like Men Who Like Movies!

We decided to do a fun little bonus episode for the beginning of 2023 and go over our top 10 lists of TV, Horror, and Film! Keep in mind, this isn't exactly a "best of" list, just our personal favesies that we experienced! We also give our favorite Pop Culture Moment of 2022, AND give a little taste of what we are looking forward to the most in 2023! 

This week, we are joined by friend of the pod - Kendall Walton, broadcast journalist and LGBT+ activist - and together we cover a listener request, Fried Green Tomatoes from 1991! We talk about the iffy accent work (including one of our own) and Kendall schools us on the meaning of 'Church Biscuits' among heavier topics such as gender expression and identity and a possible trans reading on the story. We might go on an extended tangent about Weeds. We also all wish Kathy Bates was our best friend (she has full sized candy bars in her purse!) and don't worry, we do get into the people eating of it all along with THAT ending. Towanda! 

For Christmas this year, we watched the 1995 rom-com Christmas classic for the ages - While You Were Sleeping! And we have writer, podcaster, and all around great guy Ari Drew to help us dissect what makes this one so special! We discuss Sandra Bullock's pitch perfect performance, imagine the casting that almost was, and even compare this film to Get Out (you'll have to listen to find out why)! Bill Pullman could get it in this movie in his tighty-whities. We somehow talk about Drop Dead Gorgeous? Twice? Basically, if this podcast episode were mashed potatoes -- it would be so creamy. 

This week we watched HENRY SELICK'S The Nightmare Before Christmas along with friend of the Pod Kristin Fugate! We get pretty into it. We have very serious discussions on the other doors, Sally's characterization and...uh...relationship with her creator, and tangents on 4K, Coraline, and even The Ten Commandments if you can believe it (young Brenner and Heston could GET IT!)

This week we traveled to Scotland for a movie full of singing, dancing...and zombies...at Christmas? Basically we watched the brilliant Anna and the Apocalypse from 2017. We also have returning guest Sean from Review it Yourself! Spoiler alert - we all really loved this! We go on tangents about physical media, kink culture...in Walmart...and even play a little game involving Beyonce, Rihanna, and Miley... It's fun and has a lot of heart - just like the movie! If you haven't seen this one, you're seriously missing out! It's a Christmas staple! So grab your giant metal candy cane and get ready to sing your way through the end of the world and hit play! 

This week Shawn and Clayton revisited the absolutely chilling Black Christmas - 1974 version - with a little help from Gayly Dreadful and Scarred for Life's own Terry Mesnard! We discuss how effective the film is, in all its parts, Clayton naturally brings up Chicago (the musical) and we all agree that (gasp) this movie is far better than Halloween and did it first.
