The Binge Movie Podcast

We dive into three movies that all made us even more anxious about the state of the world: Kathryn Bigelow's racial historic drama DETROIT, the regrettably named climate change doc AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL: TRUTH TO POWER, and the feel-good coming-of-age doc STEP.

We surrender to the awesome force of Charlize Theron in ATOMIC BLONDE, compare LANDLINE to our memories of the '90s, and rail against THE INCREDIBLE JESSICA JAMES for failing Jessica Williams.

Rebecca and Jason parse through the pluses and minuses of Christopher Nolan's war epic DUNKIRK, fall for the rowdy good time of GIRLS TRIP, and contemplate the nasty period noir of LADY MACBETH.

After counting down the best and worst movies of 2017 at the mid-year point, Rebecca and Jason praise the exhilarating freshness of SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING, the poignant poetry of A GHOST STORY, and the hilariously ribald raunch of THE LITTLE HOURS.

In which we praise the humor and heart of THE BIG SICK, contemplate the true genre identity of Sofia Coppola's THE BEGUILED, and prepare to be in the unimpressed minority about BABY DRIVER.

In which Rebecca barely survives her river of tears triggered by Bong Joon Ho's OKJA, then she and Jason break down the many problems with THE BAD BATCH (and its filmmaker) and try making sense of the Cate Blanchett art experiment MANIFESTO.

In which we celebrate the raunchy female hilarity of ROUGH NIGHT and the moderates triumphing over extremists in THE WOMEN'S BALCONY, then play another round of "Spoil That Sh*t!" with the catastrophic family drama/murder movie THE BOOK OF HENRY.

In this special Pride Month episode, we take a break from new releases to look back at the LGBTQ-themed movies that shaped us as queer film lovers growing up in the ‘90s. Films discussed include BOUND, THE OPPOSITE OF SEX, HIGH ART, BEAUTIFUL THING, ALL OVER ME, IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK 2, AND THE CELLULOID CLOSET.

In which we sift through the one-two punch of summer stinkers PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES and BAYWATCH, then break down the Bryan Cranston toxic masculinity drama WAKEFIELD.

In which we unpack the homoeroticism of dueling Michael Fassbenders in ALIEN: COVENANT, do our best to appraise the muted joys of EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING despite being 25 years past its target age demo, and revel in the deliciously dark humor of PREVENGE.
