Sword & Podcast

Friend of the show (and sometimes editor) Lucas Brown of the Math of You podcast is here to talk about “The Warrior and the Sorceress,” a grimy grindhouse sword and sorcery movie from 1984, in which David Carradine plays a grim swordsman on an apocalyptic planet who does a full Yojimbo on some local warlords with the help of a topless Argentinian model with magical powers. All this and puppets too.

We’re back! And we’ve got Stella Cheeks, of the podcasts X-Treks and Not Your Demographic, here to talk about the 1981 Sword and Sorcery classic, Clash of the Titans! This episodic Greek mythology mash-up stars Ray Harryhausen’s puppets, Maggie Smith as a goddess you’ve never heard of, and Harry Hamlin’s himbo energy.

Writer and gay historian Brett White is here to talk about an almost-forgotten classic of mythology and male bodies on display: Hercules. Directed by Pietro Francisci and starring American bodybuilder Steve Reeves, this movie squeezes in a surprising amount of almost-accurate Greek mythology and even more male thighs.

Brett White, host of the Must Have Seen TV podcast, returns to INTO IT to discuss Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. A spoiler-filled discussion of why we both loved the movie, and what some viewers seem to have missed about it.

Happy Holidays! Crystal Clods cohost Katie Schenkel joins in for an in-depth episode about one of the best Christmas movies of all time, 1954's White Christmas. Danny Kaye's comedic genius, Vera-Ellen's unmatched dancing, everybody Rosemary Clooney's related to, plus Edith Head and Bob Fosse. And yes, we talk about whether or not Bing Crosby's hot.

In part two of two, Katie and Elle discuss "Back to the Kindergarten," "Sadie Killer," and "Kevin Party."

In the first of two editions of Crystal Clods covering the episodes of Steven Universe that just dropped on the Cartoon Network app, Elle and Katie discuss "Dewey Wins," "Gemcation," and "Raise the Barn."

It's Halloween! And that means JoJo Seames and Andrew Ihla are here once again, to talk about James Whale's 1933 classic The Invisible Man, based on the H.G. Wells novel and starring Claude Rains. There is a whole lot of running around naked in this movie, plus amazing special effects, comedic cops, and Una O'Connor.
