  • S2 E9: Temp to Perm
    “Lucy, have you ever heard of surplus value?” This episode, we investigate movies about work, ponder hyper-specific job representation on film, and pitch a movie about an accidental grifter that’s sure to rate high on the dice-o-meter.
    1 hr 23 min
  • S2 E8: Watchlist Shopping
    We scope out each other’s Letterboxd watchlists and assign films we feel warrant discussion immediately, pitch an absurdist family dramedy starring Youn Yuh-jung (who won an Oscar shortly after this recording!), and break down our recent streaming explorations. We also cover if Michael Fassbender and Tom Hiddleston are in fact different people (still up for debate).

    Pull up a chair, bb! We wrap up the year by sharing some cinematic “wild rides - from the interspecies romance of Max Mon Amour to obsession and stan-nabalism (?) in Der Fan.

  • S2 E6: Storybored Spooktacular
    We catch up on what we’ve watched since our last episode and chat about our recent deep cut horror finds and favorite spooky subgenres. We reappraise the often shunned world of horror sequels, discover an unlikely H.R. Giger music video collaboration, and establish that Brits should never displace a henge.

  • S2 E5: Disco Magician
    It’s our fashion and style episode! While we discuss which films “give good still”, we weigh in on botanical thrillers, disco magicians, and how young Jean Reno is an out-and-out snack. We pitch the fashion horror movie of our dreams and puzzle over the one Schrader film that still has us scratching our heads.

  • S2 E4: Loose Dudes
    We greet the new year with by grading our own homework on our 2019 moodboards, review some fresh finds from directors whose films we’ve never seen, and throw a wrench in the works with a sh*t pitch from hell!
    1 hr 6 min
  • S2 E3: But Should We Have Come?
    We close out the 2010s with just shy of 20 selections from the past decade that we may have overlooked. Hope you like sci-fi and mysteries, because we’ve got plenty of ‘em! And we craft an original pitch brimming with polyglot hotties (polyglotties?) to guide you into the 2020s.

  • S1 E17: Donald Pleasence Does the Admin

    We discuss that old stalwart: movies about movies! We chat about Kate Bush’s own personal Xanadu, Udo Kier’s blue eyes, and our fave Steve Buscemi lewk. In our first fanfic-themed pitch, we develop a 1970s horror film so good you’ll be almost inconsolable over the realization that it doesn’t exist. But there are so many Juzo Itami films available to stream right now that we’ll all make it through!

  • S2 E2: Scams Are The New Cults
    Just in time for the holidays, we delve into movies with familial themes. We discuss a few of the movie elements we love and hate [mostly hate!] Our original movie pitch is glorified ‘90s fanfic, starring Laurs’ all-time hairstyle crush! And in our Radar section, we quite possibly uncover our new “Ratboy”!
