December 10, 2020MRS. DOUBTFIRE (or, Dragpole Sitta)Tony and Nadia once again put on their fat suits and watch the legendary Robin Williams vehicle with, on paper, one of the most disturbing screenplays they’ve ever encountered. Both of them yell “it was a run-by fruiting!” Tony reveals his full range of character bits. Nadia researches the state of trans panic in 1993.

Today’s outro music is Aerosmith’s “Dude Looks Like a Lady” as covered by Juliana Strangelove....more1h 19minPlay
November 19, 2020THE NUTTY PROFESSOR (or, Klumping Toward Bethlehem)It’s a new season of Prolly Shoulda, and Nadia and Tony are dedicating this season exclusively to films that landed in the box office top 10 of their respective years. Unfortunately, they started with this Academy-Award-winning (!) piece of crap from 1996, starring Eddie Murphy six different times. Nadia takes us through the history of fatphobia. Tony comes up with a new t-shirt design for the eventual merch shop. Our theme music is “Hey Allison!” by Jeff Rosenstock, distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 license, and available at quoteunquoterecords.com.

September 03, 2020WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING (or, Codependence Day)Desperate for one pleasant viewing experience at the end of the season, Tony and Nadia try this lighthearted Sandra Bullock romcom, only to find weird family boundaries being crossed at every turn, continued racist depictions of Italian-Americans, and a scene where Bill Pullman plays poker with a man in a coma. The episode contains so many Chicago references that it is borderline unlistenable. Nadia explains how codependence works. Tony educates listeners on the 2011 Korean soap opera adaptation of the film. Our theme music is "The Beauty of Breathing" and today's outro music is "State Line", both by Jeff Rosenstock, distributed under a Creative Commons license, and available at quoteunquoterecords.com. We'll see you in Season 3....more1h 46minPlay
August 27, 2020THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY (or, The Ghost of Tom Load)[CONTENT WARNING: a pretty messed-up premise in this film that involves multiple people stalking and manipulating the same woman.] It was only a matter of time before Nadia and Tony watched one of the most successful romcoms of all time, a mesmerizing mix of horrifying genital injuries, NFL quarterback cameos, and Matt Dillon’s pencil mustache. Nadia pinpoints Mary as the origin of the “cool girl” trope. Tony does not like the film, but he respects it. Our theme music is “The Beauty of Breathing” by Jeff Rosenstock, distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 license, and available at quoteunquoterecords.com. Today’s outro music is Jonathan Richman’s “You Can’t Talk to the Dude” as covered by poopylungstuffing....more1h 28minPlay
August 20, 2020JOE ROGAN: TRIGGERED (or, Paradise by the Fashboard Light)Nadia and Tony watch a 2016 standup special by media giant Joe Rogan, who was technically a standup comedian before he had a massive radio show that Pete Buttigieg tried and failed to get on. Bunch of tangents in this one but they’re pretty funny - Nadia describes her experience touring the Sc*e*t*l*gy Celebrity Center, and Tony talks about S*nt* Cl*us for a while. Our theme music is “The Beauty of Breathing” by Jeff Rosenstock, distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 license, and available at quoteunquoterecords.com.

August 13, 2020I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK AND LARRY (or, Black and Yellowface)[CONTENT NOTE: just an unbelievably homophobic, transphobic, and racist film. Rob Schneider is in yellowface. It's really bad.] Nadia and Tony put their love of Adam Sandler to the test as they watch this 2007 satire on gay marriage, which is easily one of the worst films they’ve had to watch for the show. Nadia is thirsty for Adam Sandler. Tony investigates how the hell Alexander Payne ended up as a credited screenwriter on this film. Our theme music is “The Beauty of Breathing” by Jeff Rosenstock, distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 license, and available at quoteunquoterecords.com. Today’s outro music is Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" as covered by Ukes and Tunes....more1h 30minPlay
August 06, 2020ACE VENTURA: PET DETECTIVE (or, Planes Trans and Automobiles)[CONTENT WARNING: This is perhaps one of the most blatantly transphobic movies of its era.] Tony and Nadia watch the generationally great comedic actor Jim Carrey in his generationally unwatchable debut feature film, which in another world would have immediately ended his career. Tony lists all of the times he's cried in the past two years and reads an email from Louis CK. Nadia describes what watching this film felt like as a child. Our theme music is “The Beauty of Breathing” by Jeff Rosenstock, distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 license, and available at quoteunquoterecords.com. Today's outro music is Boyz II Men's "I'll Make Love To You" as covered by Ukulenny....more1h 23minPlay
July 30, 2020HITCH (or, To Simp A Butterfly)You probably saw Hitch when it came out, or you can turn on basic cable right now and watch it. If you remember it being a pretty conventional romcom, you're wrong, it's actually a bizarre and borderline-insane film. Nadia provides more actually good dating advice. Tony gives this week's Aishwarya Rai update. Our theme music is “The Beauty of Breathing” by Jeff Rosenstock, distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 license, and available at quoteunquoterecords.com. Today’s outro music is Usher’s “Love In This Club” as covered by Ashley Laderer....more1h 36minPlay
July 23, 2020THE INVENTION OF LYING (or, Incel Block Tango)Nadia and Tony endure the strangest film they have watched to date, Ricky Gervais' 2009 passion project which starts as an alternate-universe comedy of manners, takes a hard left turn into an atheism subreddit, and then eventually takes another hard left turn into an incel subreddit. Tony talks about his complicated relationship with Catholicism. Nadia also talks about Tony's complicated relationship with Catholicism. Our theme music is “The Beauty of Breathing” by Jeff Rosenstock, distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 license, and available at quoteunquoterecords.com.

July 16, 2020JUNO (or, The Womb of Requirement)Tony and Nadia watch Best Picture nominee JUNO, a film with a complicated legacy since it's pretty good but has been adopted as an anti-abortion manifesto by some of the worst people in the world. Tony finds the "Best Films of 2007" list from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Nadia discusses the awful treatment of Diablo Cody by the press and Commonsense Media Dot Org posters. Our theme music is “The Beauty of Breathing” by Jeff Rosenstock, distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 license, and available at quoteunquoterecords.com.
