Happy holidays, everyone! To finish up our Christmas series, we're talking about Tangerine, a film about Alexandra (Mya Taylor) and Sin-Dee (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez), two friends trying to navigate LA, sex work, and transphobia, and Razmik, an Armenian cab driver trying to escape his family. Oh, and it's all happening at Christmastime!

This is our last episode before we take a much-needed break. But feel free to contact us by email ([email protected]) if you need anything!

Happy holidays and thanks for listening. We appreciate you so much, and we look forward to putting out new episodes for you soon.

In this second week of TJB Christmas episodes, we're lightening up the mood a bit and bringing you a conversation about The Muppet Christmas Carol, starring Michael Caine as Scrooge and the Muppets as almost everyone else. We talk about capitalism, ghosts, Christmas (obviously), and we both try to say "Moycal Kaiyne" as best we can (listener, it's not great, but we try our best).

Well, it's that time of year again, when we get cozy and reflect on the love of family and friends. This Christmas time, we'd like to kick off the season right by talking about Violent Night, which features David Harbour as a very curmudgeonly Santa who happens to be great at making a candy cane into a shiv. We talk about violence, capitalism, and man buns, so we hope you enjoy this first instalment of our Christmas triptych!

Also, please rate, review, and subscribe to our show. Consider it an early Christmas present.

In this episode we discuss our first animated feature! Spirited Away is a beautiful film about a child who must save her greedy parents from the clutches of a witch who runs a spa for spirits. And really, who among us hasn't had to parent our parents?

In this second episode of our road trip series, we're talking about Thelma & Louise (Scott 1991), an uproarious comedy if the trailer has anything to say about it, but a drama to those of us who have watched it. This movie has been pivotal for many feminists, people who like watching protagonists who are not men, and those who enjoy a good mom jean (these are not mutually exclusive), and our conversation talks about all these things.

A word of warning: the movie depicts an attempted sexual assault, and we mention it (the movie's mostly about what happens after the assault is thwarted).

As always, we have a great conversation, and we'd love to hear your opinions, too! Feel free to email us at [email protected] to share an opinion or to request a transcript.

Also, please rate and review us on Apple Podcasts so that we can reach more people who want to hear us be silly (surely someone does)!

This episode marks the beginning of our latest theme: road movies! And, to kick off this new theme, we're talking about The Green Knight, a surreal take on the 14th-Century chivalric romance poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," which you probably read in an intro lit course (and if you didn't, you were robbed). It follows Gawain (Dev Patel) as he makes a series of bad choices while trying to become a knight in King Arthur's court (Camelot, the Round Table, the whole bit). Also, his mom helps him out in some very weird ways and possibly/probably oversteps, hence the title of this episode. It's a very strange, very aesthetically beautiful movie, and we can't recommend it highly enough.

This week, we're rounding out our series on "House" movies with House of Flying Daggers (Yimou 2004), a very sexy wuxia film that combines gorgeous aesthetics with sleeve agility and fighting in trees. It is at its core a period drama, starring Ziyi Zhang, Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Andy Lau, but it also involves love, deception, loyalty, and conflict, which we talk a lot about, obviously.

We still have an email address and also transcripts available! Get in touch or get a transcript at [email protected].

In this episode we get "cerebral" (whatever that means) and talk about Robert Eggers' The Lighthouse (2019), starring Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson. It's a complicated movie that has steered us toward a complicated (yet ridiculous) discussion. We talk about gender, the monstrous-feminine, the abject, and eco-criticism, as well as our crushes on Willem Dafoe and our delight in his character's dialogue. Oh, and Charlie can't let go of thinking this is a pirate movie. It isn't.

Also, big news: We have an email address AND transcripts! Feel free to get in touch and/or get a transcript at [email protected]. Also, we'd love for you to rate, review, and subscribe to our little show because we love attention.

And we're back! Welcome to season two of The Juiciest Bits, in which we endeavour to become more organized. This season, we've decided to group our movie selections by theme (and hopefully take some requests!), so expect* scholarly through-lines and hilarious callbacks.

Our first theme of the season is "house movies," and to kick things off, we're talking about Road House, that sexy Swayze movie from 1989. It has everything: mullets! inappropriate clothing! unbridled violence! a song written and performed by P. Sways himself!

This episode makes us feel like we never left (in a good way), and we hope you like it too. Thanks for joining us!

*Neither is guaranteed.

In this, our season one finale, we discuss millennial classic Bring it On (Reed, 2000) and come face to face with the hard reminder that the culture in which we went to high school was rough, especially for the queer, trans, disabled, and P.O.C. crowds. BUT we talk about all of this and the acrobatic miracle that is cheerleading and how cool Gabrielle Union is, so there's that.
