Heat up some jambalaya and make yourself comfortable. Emily’s heading down to Cajun country for Lifetime’s 2013 Christmas In the Bayou. Will work-obsessed Hilarie Burton leave the glitz of her NYC life for the quainter pace of her hometown? Does her old high school boyfriend-turned-park-ranger stand a chance at winning back her heart? Is Ed Asner’s hermit ACTUALLY Santa Claus? These questions and more will be answered.

It continues. Hallmark’s 2017 The Sweetest Christmas, starring Lacey Chabert as an earnest baker who (CAN YOU BELIEVE IT) falls back in love with her ex-high school sweetheart. Shocking twists ensue.

It’s here! A whole season of terrible cozy cardigan Christmas movies torn apart in podcast form. First up is Firefly’s Summer Glau as an earnest elf who has to learn how to wear high heels and help a wealthy family discover the true meaning of the holidays (i.e., that work is way less important than your children, obviously). Hallmark’s Help For the Holidays, from 2012. There will be public domain holiday music. Oh yes.

Break out your cleanest OR scrubs and coolest choker for this very high school-centric episode. Christine and Emily take a stroll down memory lane, visiting 1998’s Rushmore and the 2002-set, 2017-made Lady Bird. Neither is spoiled. Some tears may flow. Come share your own teenage memories over on Twitter @femininepodcast or on our Facebook group. Also, go see Lady Bird. Seriously.

WE DID IT! It wasn’t easy and involved a lot of bloated pasty men screaming, but Christine and Emily survived all eight Saw movies and are here to tell you everything you need to know about Parts VI, VII, and VIII (aka The Healthcare One, The 3D One, and The New One). We go full spoilers on Parts VI & VII before breaking before delving deep into Jigsaw, so those who haven’t seen the newest offering will have fair warning before we go too far. It’s…a lot. Come tell us your own sawvival stories via Twitter @femininepodcast or on our Facebook group. We promise not to sawtrap you.

Strap yourself into a possible electrified seat next to an ex-New Kid on the Block noosed on a block of ice and get comfortable! We’re here to talk about Saw IV & V (plus a whole lot of other movies). Come share your thoughts on Twitter @femininepodcast or in our Facebook group where magic happens and no one will ever squish you in a wall.

It begins. Christine and Emily delve deep into the first three Saw films. It’s rusty. It’s shouty. It’s convoluted-y. While we do go into spoiler-y detail on these films, we don’t tread too deeply into the rest of the series. We’ve got two more episodes for that! Share your thoughts on our Facebook group or on Twitter via @femininepodcast. Just make sure you’re appreciating life and all that. Because otherwise you just might wake up in a reverse bear trap.

In celebration of John Lithgow’s perfectly timed Emmy win, Christine and Emily dig deep into some of his most bonkers performances with 1984’s The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension and 1992’s Raising Cain. We do go into extreme detail on the latter, so spoilers are aplenty. Have a listen and come share your thoughts on the episode over on Twitter @femininepodcast or via our Facebook group. And if you’re wondering, yes, Emily did discover John Lithgow’s children’s rock album, and yes, she used it to score the breaks, and yes, she’s been listening to it nonstop ever since. Send help. Thank you.

Make yourself comfortable folks: we’ve got a LOT to say. On this supersized edition, Christine and Emily go full in on George Romero’s Land of the Dead and even fully on Mick Garris’s 1994 miniseries adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand. M-O-O-N, that spells a very long episode. Come weigh in over on Twitter (@femininepodcast) or on The Feminine Critique Facebook page. Also, don’t forget: STAND.

Let us all gather in celebration and worship of the goddess that is Charlize Theron. After a lengthy summer break, Christine and Emily return to discuss her 2003 Oscar winning turn in Patty Jenkins’ Monster, followed by her slightly less successful run in Karyn Kusama’s Aeon Flux. Also, The Langoliers, because why wouldn’t it be Christine’s favorite thing in the world? ome share your thoughts on our thoughts over at the thoughtland that is our Facebook group or at @femininepodcast on Twitter.
