December 17, 2021 Episode 71: Oh, You Got Trouble...
For the month of December, we’re reading a script that’s about a winter concert… or is it? Two parents confront their child’s drama and chorus teacher about his lack of solo in the winter concert and an incident that occurred on last spring’s class trip to Cincinnati. Our writer, Donna Hoke, discusses her inspiration for this play, crossword puzzles, and “Finding Neal Patrick Harris.” Thanks for listening!
Detours: Dune (only in theaters), The Princess Switch 3: Romancing the Star (Netflix)

September 17, 2021 Episode 68: Duck Dynasty
We are officially BACK! Well, we never really left, but here is to our full time return to our old/new format. This week, we are reading Scout: Veteran of the Psychic War by Andrej Kukoljac. This one’s a doozy (and a ducky): a simple white feathered duck becomes a god, and annihilates all of humanity, leaving two young children as the sole survivors. We talk to Andrej about his inspiration for this story, his prior filmmaking experience, his semi-recent move to Croatia, and graffiti. Tune in, this is a good one!
Detours: Bojack Horseman (Netflix); As Above, So Below (Netflix)

September 10, 2021 Episode 67: My Milkshake Brings All the Boys to the Woods (Cabin in the Woods and Gunpowder Milkshake)
This week will sadly be our last episode in this format since our other show is coming back, but we brought you a couple really fun movies to end on! We’re talking about Cabin in the Woods and Netflix’s Gunpowder Milkshake: a satirical spooky (and sometimes slimy? Maybe? Lauren’s writing the description and didn’t see this one) film and a somewhat spoofy but certainly spunky action film! You can rent Cabin in the Woods on Apple TV (or a variety of other apps) and watch Gunpowder Milkshake on Netflix. Thanks for listening, and we’ll be back to writers and new works next week!

September 03, 2021 Episode 66: The Candyman Can Rot Your Teeth (Candyman and Tooth Fairy)
This week, we watched two films based on legendary beings (cryptids?): Tooth Fairy (2010) and Candyman (2021). The best parts of this episode are that it’s really easy to listen to while saying Candyman into a mirror five times AND that we’re talking about The Rock for the second week in a row. Thanks for listening!

August 27, 2021 Episode 65: Pirahnas and Pirouettes (Jungle Cruise and Next Level)
This week, we watched a brand new, long in the making film based on a beloved ride and a teen musical movie that not many people have seen (partly because it’s glitchy on Hulu). It’s Jungle Cruise starring Emily Blunt and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Next Level from the company that produced another Green Light featured film, No Escape Room. You can watch Jungle Cruise in theaters or on Disney+ with premiere access, and you can watch Next Level for free with Amazon Prime or on Hulu (if it lets you get past the first minute). Thanks for listening!

August 20, 2021 Episode 64: NPC: Nice Pentagram, Comrade
This week, we went back to our old format! We read the first act of Personal Hell, a pilot about Malchior, a demon under quota for sold souls, and Ted, a content computer programmer who doesn’t really feel like selling his. We talk to Nolan about his mockumentary projects, what it means to live in a corporate hell, and Ken Burns.
Detours: Free Guy (only in theaters), Freaky (HBO Max)

August 13, 2021 Episode 63: Baymax vs. Starro, Celebrity Death Match (Big Hero 6 and The Suicide Squad)
This week, we watched Disney’s Big Hero 6, the animated film that neither of your hosts saw before this week, and DC’s The Suicide Squad, a… remake? Sequel? Unclear? But, it’s at least a little related to the other Suicide Squad that didn’t have maybe as much critical success as the producers would’ve hoped a few years past. Hopefully this one's better... you know, since the world depends on it.
