Hello and welcome back to Raters of the Lost Arts! This week, Kay starts off the show by talking about what she thought about Dear Evan Hansen and Craig soft roasts her for not seeing a lot of famous horror films. Sorry, Craig. We ask the listeners— is Die Hard a Christmas movie? We don't really care too much, but decided to come up with our own examples of the Die Hard-Christmas genre. Do you agree that Gone Girl is a Valentine's Day movie and that Gremlins is a Christmas movie? (It is, BTW). Settle in and haul your opinions at us!

Kay's DEH review - https://letterboxd.com/keiraknightlgbt/film/dear-evan-hansen/

Hello and welcome back to Raters of the Lost Arts! Broadway is back and SO ARE WE! Craig fills us in on his (mis)adventures in dirty Nash (including his new car which we have named Vanessa CARlton for obvious reasons) while Kay talks about her time in Beantown and the new semester. To kick off the pod (after a long convo about Phoebe Bridgers' setlist), Kay does a dramatic reading of a review for the film-adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen. It's a movie now! Then, both Kay and Craig rate their top five stage musicals on Broadway of all time. Craig didn't know Kay was a Grobanite? WTF?! Enjoy, besties!

*Beetlejuice is returning to Broadway!

**Grey Gardens IS a musical!

Hello and welcome to Raters of the Lost Arts! In our first "season" finale, Craig and Kay break down their favorite TV shows, movies, and albums that they've enjoyed so far this year (regardless of when they actually were released). This is also the first episode that has been recorded via simultaneous Zoom call, so apologies for any audio wonkiness (Craig was on a rooftop in Nashville). We're so fortunate and grateful that you have joined us and listened to our podcast this year, whether you know us personally or not. We will see you in September! #GWAGM

Hello and welcome back to the last minisode of the season! Bella joined me (AKA Kay) in rejoicing in the excitement that is the official start to MCU Phase 4 as we discussed WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, and Black Widow. Are you joining us in our fight to gatekeep Florence Pugh from the weird fanboys and the campaign to get Squirrel Girl in the MCU (this is being spearheaded by Kay and Bella BTW, don't let anyone tell you otherwise). Also, it's cool to know that all of our fanfic is canon now because of the multiverse. LONG LIVE KANG THE CONQUEROR! (kidding...maybe?).

Hello and welcome back to Raters of the Lost Arts! Before delving into the topic at hand, Kay and Craig discuss Craig's pending move and his subsequent nostalgia for his coming-of-age on Long Island. Shed a tear, besties! They also discuss Britney Spear's public discussion of her conservatorship and feel DISGUSTED about how she and so many other women are being treated by the law. And then onto the subject of this episode, Mr. Bo Burnham! Kay goes into a bit of his professional history and she and Craig discuss his work and show reverence for what he has given us over the years.

Hi gay and welcome back to Raters of the Lost Arts! This episode, in honor of pride month, Kay and Craig have decided to rank their top 5 queer films, but not without first discussing Rachel Zegler, Lorde, and the history of queer cinema (thanks Craig!). Is a film a queer film because you're queer and you like it? We think so. Also, what does Craig have against Michelle Williams?

Hello and welcome back to Raters of the Lost Arts! This week, we're talking all about unsolved crimes in honor of Buzzfeed Unsolved entering its final seasons starting June 18th. While we'll miss our beloved ghoul boys, they are leaving a lot of good content in their wake. Kay recalls the famous disappearance of D.B. Cooper while Craig goes into the more unknown unsolved case of the Austin yogurt shop murders (CW for that portion starts at around 38 minutes and ends around the 1:10:30 mark!!). Is Loki Laufeyson actually behind those famous DB Cooper wrap-around sunglasses? Was the Austin police department covering up suspects or were they plain incompetent? These cases still remain...unsolved.

Shoutout to Ryan Bergara (@ryansbergara) and Shane Madej (@shanemadej) of Buzzfeed Unsolved and Watcher (@wearewatcher)!

In this episode, Kay and Craig catch the besties up on what they've been doing this May 2021 and Kay humbles film majors by dubbing them "movie majors". Then, into the meat and potatoes, Kay explores (albeit briefly) the history of the movie musical as well as the phenomenon (and gimmick) of the roadshow. For the main segment, Kay and Craig rank their top 5 favorite movie musicals and get heated discussing Willy Wonka and his choice for a successor.

Welcome back to Raters of the Lost Arts! In this rather-long minisode, Kay and Craig delve into the debut album of Ms. Swift Jr.-- that is, Olivia Rodrigo's "SOUR". Kay gets a little tipsy and has to deal with her buzzing microphone (we really need new ones) while Craig gets a little sentimental. What did you think of the album? Are you missing your teenage years like we are?

Pull up a chair, put on a blanket and your coziest PJs and grab a warm beverage and a snack because this week on Raters of the Lost Arts, we're talking comfort films. Comfort films are extremely subjective, so this week we aren't doing a ranking as much as we are an exploration of different kinds of films that bring us comfort (specific sequels, childhood favorites, animated films, etc.). Share your favorite comfort films with us on our Twitter and Instagram @ratersofthepod!!
