Spite Club

Strap on your football helmet and buckle your denim, this week we're on a collision course with boredom as Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda take to the road in Easy Rider. How can a drug-fueled adventure yield such little entertainment value? Zoe and Margie are on the case! Far more entertaining than watching the actual movie, this episode is sponsored by Mardi Gras and red spandex tights.

We've made you a podcast you can't refuse. This week, we watched Francis Ford Coppola's Mario Puzo's The Godfather and Margie didn't understand any of it. Luckily, Zoe read the book and also understood what was happening in the movie. If you're ready to hear us make a lot of film nerds very unhappy, then gather a flamboyance of your best frenemies and learn what it means when someone sends you a fish.

We have our good friend and local Shia LaBeouf expert Kortney Morrow on to talk about Micheal Bay's 2007 blockbuster, Transformers. Tune in for robot noises, indie darling John Turturro, Zoe's favorite scene, opinions about Megan Fox, and even more robot noises. Call in and tell us whether you prefer Nymphomaniac Part One or Two.

BELUUUUUSHHHIIIIIIIII

Margie watched this movie on DVD! It's RoboCop, Paul Verhoeven's famous and clever 1987 satire of American society. We don't discuss the difference between robots and cyborgs, probably because we're too busy debating whether it's better to remember but not feel or feel but not remember. Zoe comes up with a good name for a poem, Margie explains what it means to drop trou, and we speculate on RoboCopulation.

Brush up on your primary colors for this week's episode where we watch Quentin Tarantino's debut film, Reservoir Dogs. With some gentle guidance from an article from the esteemed website Bitch Flicks, we discover all the secret, subversive feminism hiding under the pop culture references and racial slurs. Plus, Margie discusses a pivotal part of her origin story, Zoe talks about talking about Madonna, and our friendship ends.

In this episode of Spite Club, we watch Harold Ramis' "perennial favorite" sports comedy, Caddyshack. Is it as funny as every man we've ever talked to says it is? Is Chevy Chase handsome? Why can't Margie tell that Sarah Holcomb is faking an Irish accent? Has Zoe ever played Crack an Egg? You've gotta listen to this *yummy* episode to find out.

In the inaugural episode of Spite Club, we look at Fight Club, David Fincher's 1999 oppressed white man cri de coeur. We also go over the first few rules of Spite Club, Zoe debunks Peter Travers, and Margie makes incorrect assumptions about the Lorena Bobbitt case. Slide!
