Roughly one year since his passing, the Maidens discuss legendary filmmaker David Lynch with their guest and Lynch fanatic, Roan. They talk about favourite Twin Peaks characters, underrated musical moments, most memorable Lynch screenings, and what everyday things seem Lynchian.  Beware, just like if you’re talking to Frank Booth, the Maidens use profanity this episode.

This week, the Maidens discuss Iron Lung and the films of the Coen Brothers (Joel and Ethan) in collaboration with Princess Cinemas, which is playing Iron Lung, Fargo, Blood Simple, & No Country for Old Men in the days/weeks to come. Each Maiden discusses their early days as Markiplier fans (or Markiplites, if ykyk) and their excitement for the content of the film. The film catalogue of the Coen’s is also discussed at length, as are the roles of Steve Buscemi and John Goodman. But be aware, there’s some explicit language, you ‘betcha!

After coming back to Laurier for their second semester this year, the Maidens reflect on the accuracy of the college/university experience, with the Pitch Perfect films and Community serving as primary references. Much like college & university students do, this episode also includes side tangents about why so many actors playing young people look old, and the plot of Riverdale. Remember, this isn’t high school anymore; this episode contains explicit language!  Get in touch with the maidens at [email protected]!

! In this episode, the final one before the Break, the Maidens induct the first correspondence member of their court as their fellow VFS veteran Dustin Zooms in all the way from Seattle. The Maidens dive into some of the work of the immortal Brian DePalma through the Phantom of the Paradise. Along the way expect some TIMELY Quentin Tarantino hate #weakestdirectorinDGA, a discussion of what exactly makes something “cinematic” and frequent humming of the absolute BANGER soundtrack. There’s also a bit of zoom sabotage, but hey baby, that’s show business for you. Some language in this episode, much like […]

What’s up pod!? This week the maidens welcome a new member to their court, Haley Richards! Together the four of them discuss screwball comedy, specifically the hit 1972 film, What’s up, Doc? They touch on Ryan O’Neal’s controversial life decisions, Misha Collins’ controversial queer baiting, and ideas for lucrative businesses! Beware, unlike traditional screwballs, this episode contains foul language!  Get in touch with the maidens at [email protected]!

Maiden, maiden on the wall, who is the most manipulative of them all? This episode, the maidens discuss “male manipulator” characters in movies (and TV), distinguishing the difference between manipulators and just bad guys. Some movies mentioned include High Fidelity, (500) Days of Summer, and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Be warned! Like the dark recesses of a manipulator’s mind, there is some shady (explicit) language in this episode! Get in touch with the maidens at [email protected]!

Hail and well met! This week the Maidens convene around their round table to discuss Excalibur (1981) alongside a few other films dealing with medieval times and/or the Arthurian legend. Crazy witches, suplex wrestling moves, and which role each Maiden would play in a medieval kingdom (in the style of the incredible The Sims Medieval) are amongst the wide array of topics discussed. Be warned, witches spells in the form of foul language are ever present within this episode. Get in touch with the maidens at [email protected]!

After a weekend of partying hard, the Maidens hunker down and discuss their favourite parties in film and television. From death loops set to Paramore to using a chainsaw to puncture a keg — these parties get pretty wild! Much like at a real party, this episode contains explicit language.  Get in touch with the maidens at [email protected]!

The final Halloween hangover episode is about Twilight! The Maidens discuss the first 2 movies, and briefly mention the 3rd. They discuss everything from Team Edward or Team Jacob, to the blue aesthetic of the first film, and the iconic baseball scene. This is part 1, as the finale to the franchise will be discussed in a later episode! Be warned: there’s more swearing in this episode than there are awkward pauses between Bella and Edward.  Get in touch with the maidens at [email protected]!

The penultimate Hangover Halloween episode, where the Maidens discuss horror B-movies! From the beloved Evil Dead series to the Hammer horror films, they explore the definition of B-movies, how they have changed over the years, and also discuss what the modern equivalent is. Be warned: just like the topic at hand, this episode is crass, shlocky, vulgar, and every other word that means fun! Get in touch with the maidens at [email protected]
