Happy Wednesday! Today we are bringing you our conversation about American Pie with Mary Margaret Scrimger, who is a writer and a performer with a focus in Circus Arts. We discuss such topics as sexual education (and the lack thereof), the pornifiation of the script, sexual vocabulary, women's role as gatekeepers, the ways that can make women reactionary rather than pro-active, and how damn important it is to listen to what women say they want.

Content Warning: Language gets hella EXPLICIT in this ep! This ep may not be suitable for sensitive ears.

Today we bring you our discussion of Fleabag Season 2, Episode 6, with special guest Kayla Wiebe! Our discussion spans A LOT and includes such topics as the beauty of solo shows, our frustration with the detached ways we often hear love described, our many feelings about the confessional scene from episode 4, our love of Nadia Bolz-Weber, getting kicked out of confirmation class, the concept of redemption, and what we think about the narrator's claim that this series is 'a love story.'

SPOILER ALERT: We sometimes speak freely about the series, so it's worth watching the full first season before listening to our discussion.

Today we bring you our discussion of Fleabag Season 2, Episode 5, which includes such topics as our love of dance, themes of faith, redemption, confessions, and scapegoats (in a hilariously naive and rudimentary way), and in which we ask: aren't we all really BOTH sinners and saints? Watch out because things get THEOLOGICAL up in here for a while. (In a fun way, obvs.)

Today we bring you our discussion of Ridley Scott's 1979 film Alien with special guest Jon Greenaway! We discuss SO MANY INTERESTING THINGS such as our nerdy love of Terry Eagleton, the horrors of capitalism, the material conditions underpinning the plot of the film, Ripley's savvy suspicion as a woman, the alien's subversion of the male/female binary, and the capacity of horror to address contemporary cultural anxieties.

By the end of this podcast, both Lisas are keen to explore more horror, which is a testament to the persuasive power of this incredible conversation.

The essay we discuss is from "On Film" by Stephen Mulhall: https://philpapers.org/rec/MULOF
