Movie Virgins

This week Leah introduces Lindsey to the 2006 horror flick The Descent. This movie has everything: a cast chock fulla women, death-defying cave stunts (accompanied by plenty of grunting and groaning), fucking MOLE PEOPLE, and an inexplicable pool of blood. Not to mention the twist ending that's - wait for it - no longer a twist. What the fucking fuck?!

Youts! We watched the 90s comedy My Cousin Vinny, and we had so much fun! Between Ralph Macchio's dirt lip, Joe Pesci's killer performance as the titular Vinny, and everything about Marisa Tomei (the hair! the clothes! the attitude!), how could we not? Join us as we break down our first times with this blast from the past.

We found the one asshole left on the planet who hadn't seen Titanic, and we popped his cherry! Mike is this week's movie virgin, and he talks us through why (WHY?!) he'd never seen the film, as well as his feelings for Leo (the love!). We also discuss whose sweaty hand is sliding down that steamy car window, Billy Zane's cartoonish portrayal of Cal, the (interesting…?) pairing of Kate and Leo, if Timothée Chalamet is the next Leo, and so much more.

Lindsey forced Leah to watch Terms of Endearment because she's a terrible person who delights in making her friends sob into their popcorn. And after all that trauma, Leah feels the only bright spots in this show are Shirley MacLaine and Jack Nicholson's flirtation and eventual hookup. Other than that, we discuss Debra Winger in that deathbed scene, the failed sequel (The Evening Star), and relationships. Relationships can be a real bitch, man.

Lindsey and Leah discuss their first times with this fantastical tale of a customs agent who can smell human emotions. Border is the story of a woman who is searching for the truth about herself and coming to grips with what that truth means. But also this movie has one of the most incredible and mind-blowing sex scenes EVER.

Welcome to another VERY SPECIAL EPISODE! And we're talking about…optics! That's because we watched The Invisible Man (2020) starring Elisabeth Moss. This movie left us with so many questions (can Aldis Hodge BE any hotter?), and we had some…interesting reactions to the film. We also dig into our quarantine watchlists, including long-lost loves Jackass and Supernatural. Join us!

Hey, people! Go check out The Memory Distillery Podcast with our friends John and Anthony. They invited us over to talk about Sixteen Candles and it. was. awesome! Lindsey, Anthony, and I had a great conversation about this John Hughes classic starring Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, and (swoon!) Michael Schoeffling as Jake Ryan. You can find them on Instagram and Twitter @TMDpod. Find them, listen, and subscribe! Do it!

It's our first time with a Bong Joon Ho film! And… we loved it! This episode gets a little weird because, well, Snowpiercer is kinda nuts. We're talking cannibalism, train obsessions, that moment with the fish, Tilda Swinton's fabulous turn as the creepy AF Mason, our love for Kang-ho Song's Nam, Chris Evans' performance, and on, and on, and on…. Like that damn post-apocalyptic train ride.

Pop quiz, hotshot! There's a bomb on a bus.... Lindsey and Leah discuss the 1994 action flick Speed. And they cover all your burning questions: Is that bus jump realistic? Is any of this movie believable? Has Keanu ever been hotter? Is Sandra Bullock a good actor? Where the heck is Pacoima? There are also a few detours into Speed 2 (barf), Showgirls (!), Hustlers, SNL's the Californians, and more.

It's gym-nasty! Lindsey and Leah share their thoughts and feelings on this raunchy comedy starring Melissa Rauch as a foul-mouthed ex-gymnast. And just when you think it can't get any more awkward, Lindsey dives deep into her love of gymnastics and her weirdly specific obsession with Sebastian Stan's diet and physical fitness. Obsession - it's the spice of life!
