The Kidmanifesto

This week, the one-of-a-kind Jeffrey McCrann (@jeffreygmm) joins host Sam Herbst (@mrsamherbst) to discuss Dogville! Jeffrey (our first officially-labeled Suppressive Person) joins Sam to break down all nine chapters of Lars Von Trier's Americana nightmare and answers some burning questions: How much did Lauren Bacall's apartment at the Dakota sell for? Is this movie about Trump supporters? What is Nicole's email address? Hold onto your Hummels, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

This week, the dapper Casey Fetherston (@CaseyFetherston) joins host Sam Herbst (@mrsamherbst) to discuss Before I Go to Sleep! Twists and turns abound in this (mostly) not-bad thriller and, in true Kidmanifesto fashion, Casey has to explain almost the entire plot to Sam. Come for the memory loss, stay for the rants about LOST, Drag Race and countless 50 First Dates references!

This week, the honourable John Lambert Pearson (@julp) joins host Sam Herbst (@mrsamherbst) to discuss The Golden Compass! For our first in-person episode, we crack open the pinot grigio and celebrate the Kidman flick that inspired our rating scale and also inspired New Line Cinema to never make the sequels! Grab your alethiometer and watch out for Gobblers, this episode is one for the books (get it, because this movie was based on a book.)

This week, special guest Rob Watson (@r0bwatson) joins host Sam Herbst (@mrsamherbst) to discuss Trespass! Rob somehow saw this movie in theaters, so he's ready to help decipher what exactly the plot is and also recounts his worst double-feature decision. Sam invokes the good name of Melissa Leo... twice. Pro tip: if you're protecting diamonds, your password should not be "diamond."

Future episode guest (and now current KidMINI star) Danita Steinberg (@danitasteinberg) joins host Sam Herbst (@mrsamherbst) to discuss some breaking news: Nicole Kidman is on the TIME 100 and got a cover AND a Naomi Watts-penned tribute!

Danita gives a dramatic reading of Naomi's beautiful blurb which causes Sam to reevaluate everything we know about the Naomi Watts Scale, and together they decide who will write the eventual bios of the remaining Big Little Lies women. Run to your newsstands and buy this issue!

This week, Twitter darling and special guest Nolan Flaherty (@auntnolan) joins host Sam Herbst (@mrsamherbst) to discuss To Die For! Nolan comes to us live from his mother's home where we get a critical update on the puzzle she's working on, and Sam hides from the actual jackhammering in his apartment complex. Nicole gives perhaps her best comedic performance but even she gets overshadowed by Nolan's queen, Illeana Douglas!!! Tune in for the surprise delivery driver appearance!

This week, special guest Sonny Griffin (@whiskyboywonder) joins host Sam Herbst (@mrsamherbst) to discuss Australia! Sonny makes Kidmanifesto history by being the first person to say "jockstrap" on air, and together the boys talk about no less than ten different musicals. This is... a very gay episode.

This week, resident witchcraft expert Michael Varrati (@MichaelVarrati) joins host Sam Herbst (@mrsamherbst) to discuss Practical Magic! Michael explains to Sam what a phone tree is, and how the house in the film is actually backwards... the man knows everything about this movie. Sam does a deep dive of celebrities with two different eye colors and once again praises Dianne Wiest. Pour yourself a midnight margarita and hold onto your husbands, this episode's a witch.

This week, the fabulous Jordan Appugliesi (@JordanApps) joins host Sam Herbst (@mrsamherbst) to discuss Cold Mountain! Jordan lends his early 2000s expertise to discuss just how dated this movie might be, and flips the script to interview Sam for most of the episode. Sam gives his Southern accent another shot, and writes Renée Zellweger's "New Rules" for owning a ranch.

This week, special guest Russell Falcon (@RussellFalcon) joins host Sam Herbst (@mrsamherbst) to discuss Rabbit Hole! In a fun self-imposed challenge, Russell attempts to rebuke paternity as a concept and rewrite this movie as a slasher revenge flick, all before his melatonin kicks in. Sam has some things to say (mostly about the unnecessarily complicated dishes Nicole cooks) and wonders how she'd do on an episode of Chopped against Pamela Voorhees.
