Shut Up I Love It

Writer/actor/poster model for THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE Chase McCowan joins Sasha and Steven in expressing his passion for MOMMIE DEAREST (1981), the legendary hagsploitation starring Faye Dunaway - and therefore only barely featuring Diana Scarwid, Mara Hobel, Rutanya Alda and Steve Forrest.

Is there anything more to the character of Christopher than inexplicably wearing a harness? Does Chase own MOMMIE DEAREST on every video format known to mankind? Is he a walking encyclopedia of all things Joan Crawford/Faye Dunaway/Bette Davis? Listen to find out.

Also, Sasha and Steven recommend Hal Ashby's 1975 masterpiece SHAMPOO starring Warren Beatty, Julie Christie and Goldie Hawn - as well as Jeremy Saulnier's 2018 thriller HOLD THE DARK with Jeffrey Wright and Alexander Skarsgård.

In this Thanksgiving episode, writer Shawn Tina Willis sits down with Sasha and Steven to defend BECAUSE I SAID SO (2007), a sweet Caucasian fantasy starring Diane Keaton, Mandy Moore, Lauren Graham and Tom Everett Scott.

Is Gabriel Macht, who portrays the sensitive-tender-musician-artist-magician, a goddamn foreigner? Does he have a boner for Diane Keaton (and who doesn't)? And does Shawn agree with Sasha's hypothetical choice of "Johnny in the streets, Jason in the sheets"? Listen to find out.

Later, Sasha and Steven recommend two films: the Buster Keaton 1928 vehicle STEAMBOAT BILL, JR. and Andrew Haworth's directorial debut PARTY CREW.

Writer/Renaissance man Aaron Fentress drops by the studio to record his song of love (just a metaphor, he never actually sings) dedicated to the British stand-up STEWART LEE, a master of high-art comedy and a frequent collaborator with Armando Iannucci.

How many bios did Aaron bring with him? Which comedy giants can be found in Stewart Lee's "Plagiarists' Corner"? And, on a semi-related note, should we (as a society) cancel Larry King? Listen to find out.

Also, Sasha and Steven recommend a British comedy series PULLING starring Sharon Horgan and every movie nerd’s favorite film "Hans Zimmer: Live In Prague."

In this most graphic episode thus far, actress/comedian/pop culture curator Chris Farah sits down with Sasha and Steven to caress her memories of STEALING BEAUTY, a 1996 coming-of-age-sexual-awakening-slash-mystery movie starring Liv Tyler, Joseph Fiennes, Jeremy Irons and Rachel Weisz.

What disease does the character of Alex have? Can you find out who's your biological dad by reading a vague poem about him? Most importantly, is that Liv Tyler's vadge? Listen to find out.

Plus, everyone tells stories: Chris about losing her virginity, Sasha about being aroused as a teenager by a 1984 miniseries THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII, and Steven about almost being molested while watching the film "Blue is The Warmest Color."

Finally, Sasha and Steven recommend a board game "Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective" and a classic dog-training book "Don't Shoot The Dog" by Karen Pryor.

Actor/improv legend Will McLaughlin (SUPERSTORE, WRECKED, UCB) drops by the studio to express his love for another legend, Aaron Sorkin (as a body of work).

How often does Will watch THE (entire) WEST WING? Does Steven have the acting chops to read a whole Sorkin "monulogue"? And what's Will's most impressive credit to date that's not listed above (we’ll just say it now: he’s the former coach of the hosts’ improv team Direct To Video)? Listen to find out.

Also, Sasha and Steven recommend TRIAL AND ERROR (formerly on NBC) and the supercut of Sam Waterson's clips from NEWSROOM that may or may not exist.

In this Halloween episode, Zeb Wells (SUPERMANSION, ROBOT CHICKEN, MARVEL COMICS) scares the living hell out of Sasha and Steven as he aggressively defends ICP's infamous song "Miracles."

How do you become a juggalo? Does Zeb also have tender feelings for Larry The Cable Guy? And what would philosopher Martin Buber think of ICP? Listen to find out.

Also, Sasha and Steven recommend HOW THE UNIVERSE WORKS on Discovery Channel and a very energizing beverage (and no, it's not Faygo).

Fadl Saadi, PhD is a comedian/luminary/admirer of all things Vin Diesel, and he joins Sasha and Steven to celebrate xXx: RETURN OF XANDER CAGE (2017), also starring Donnie Yen, Kris Wu and Deepika Padukone.

Why do Fadl, Steven and Sasha keep on profusely apologizing to Michael Bisping? Can motorcycles turn into waterskis? And what's this "Hollywood dirt" that Sasha supposedly has on Vin? Listen to find out.

Also, Sasha and Steven recommend CASTLE ROCK and HIGH FLYING BIRD, a TV show and a film both starring arguably the sexiest man alive (spoiler alert: it's André Holland).

In this special family episode, Steven's sister Lauren Cohen and her husband Rudi Greenberg sit down with Steven and Sasha to defend THE BOLD TYPE, a TV show on Freeform that is definitely trying to be SEX IN THE CITY for Millennials.

Why would a grown cis male like Rudi watch this show? Does Steven know what a "slice of life" means? And what the hell is "diet woke"? Listen to find out.

Musician/filmmaker Andrew Haworth (theme music for SHUT UP I LOVE IT) practically forces Steven and Sasha to put on their film critic hats as they dive deep to discuss the strange/creepy/funny Taiwanese film THE HOLE (1998), directed by the auteur Tsai Ming-liang.

Should the title of the film have been Big Trouble In Little China? How many times has Andrew seen it (hint: it's more than once and less than three times)? How often does Steven bring that up during the recording? Listen to find out.

Check out Andrew's music on Spotify! And his film Party Crew on Amazon, Vimeo and YouTube! And his music video "I'm Only Pretty When I Cry": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0767809liQM

TV writer Howie Kremer (LET'S GET PHYSICAL, FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY) and actress/comedian Tracy Meyer (THE REAL O’NEALS, COMMUNITY) sit down with Sasha and Steven to discuss STRIKE BACK, a British/American TV show airing on Cinemax and its archetypal hero, "a p***y hound with the heart of gold."

Do Tracy and Howie have a special dance for the show's theme song? Does Sasha approve of STRIKE BACK's Russian accents? And how do they shoot all those graphic sex scenes (think tapes and pillows)?

Also, the hosts and the guests recommend Matt Berry's TV show TOAST OF LONDON, films PEPPERMINT and THE VILLAINESS and a very special brand of chips.
