Amity and Lemuel take a break to look back at their first year as podcasters. They pick their favorites – movies, television, and podcasting moments. It’s a spoiler to say that their favorites are actually anyone listening to the show (or reading this) but it’s not untrue. Listen in for some fun!

Coming into this week we were fully unexcited for a three-hour movie, but it turns out we were wrong. Discussing Baz Luhrman’s 2008 epic Australia, we address the fan service of Hugh Jackman’s abs, how anyone gets anywhere in westerns, Iago-like baddies and Amity says dick a whole bunch. Happy Thanksgiving!

Amity and Lemuel watched 1998’s The Siege – a twisty terrorism romp with a dash of martial law thrown in for flavor. Among the devastating explosions and Annette Benning’s several names and motivations, we find a pretty entertaining movie? It’s largely because Denzel is, in fact, the greatest actor of all time. Period.

Content Warning: Child Death. We watched A Cry in the Dark and then tried to stay light. We discuss media and the justice system and the condemnation this movie has of both. We both fear the outback and Lemuel vows to never go to Australia, while Amity is still open minded provided she can wear long socks with her shorts so as to combat all the sharp poisons.

We’re on the November side of Halloween, but there’s some horror left as we watch the dark side of rabbit life in 1978’s Watership Down. Amity is left aggravated by a lack of understanding of linguistics and ladies and Lemuel is just perplexed. Why is this the format? Why is there a music video in the middle? Am I supposed to care about them more or less because they’re rabbits? It’s so confusing. Listen as we try to sort it out.

We rewatched a classic and watched a cult classic and a modern sequel and we discuss those three films along with the other 8 in the franchise. We tackle the entirety of the original(?) slasher franchise in this episode - don’t worry, the episode isn’t 40 years long and we don’t go into spoiler territory for the new one. We do talk about the treatment of women, the treatment of Michael, and why sanitariums and doctors might be the real bad guys. Just kidding – it’s the guy with the knife.

CW: Sexual assault; mental health issues. We watched 2008’s Changeling and it combined with the current climate led to a perfect storm of discussion. This is a very good movie and the conversation is good – we try to keep it funny, but it’s not light. The plight of women in movies, on tv, and in society is discussed through the lens of this film. Do we solve it? Listen to find out.

Description: Differing opinions abound in this episode as we tackle Wes Anderson’s sophomore film, Rushmore. Amity wants to know how come all these adults want o be friends with a child so badly – it seems fishy. Lemuel wants to know why Amity doesn’t like whimsy or Bill Murray. Listen along!

Description: The original Bright and basis for television show, TV movies, novels and comics, we watched Alien Nation and had some questions about the timeline. Lemuel is unimpressed with the makeup and Amity is unimpressed with the callousness and racism. We also give a free warning against a current feature.

Two hours and forty minutes from the inexplicable opening, we get an inexplicable ending with no explication to be found. Amity and Lemuel watch the WWII epic Miracle at St. Anna. Amity wants to know why our hero is strapped at work and Lemuel wants to know how they expected to compress all of this information into a movie length – even an epic one. But really, why was that dude armed at work. And why did that lovely woman do something so unlovely? So many questions - listen along!
