  • Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle with Erik Anderson

    Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by Erik Anderson (AwardsWatch) to complete this female fantasy duology (we do not talk about 2019). Join us to discuss the supernatural powers of the Angels, living in a world free from failure, Drew Barrymore's affinity for roller derby (gay), Demi Moore as a delightfully campy bisexual temptress, and how the celebrity churn should really just leave women alone forever.

  • Silkwood with Laura Venning

    Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by film critic Laura Venning for this harrowing drama where the corruption – gasp – goes all the way to the top. We discuss shirtless Kurt Russell chopping wood (good), Meryl's mullet (good), Cher saying the word "dyke" in a Southern accent (GOOD), and our favorite pro-union films. Plus the messed up things that happen in blue-collar America and why Nora Ephron really is the best to ever do it!

Plus we discuss the nuances of adaptation for the screen, casting within the GNC community, Emily's incredible new book, and if we correctly predicted Best Picture. CONCLAVE HIVE RISE!

  • Pitch Perfect with Alison Sivitz (Bald Ann Dowd)

    Jordan and Brooke are joined by Alison Sivitz (aka Bald Ann Dowd), as we rocket agrressively back to 2012 and every piece of culture that comes with that. We discuss why this movie has aged like milk but still hits, questionable fashion choices (heeled...Converse...), Universal queerbaiting their audience, actual Peacock spinoff show "Bumper in Berlin," what Kenny Ortega is up to these days, what Hailee Steinfeld is also up to these days, Anna Kendrick's Oscar nom, and the fact that The Cup Song hit #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 – it did, it really did.

  • Romeo + Juliet with Joe Reid

    Jordan and Brooke are joined by Joe Reid (This Had Oscar Buzz) for Baz Luhrmann's 1997 sun-soaked adaptation that taught a whole generation how to be young and horny. We talk Leo's floppy lesbian haircut, the best and gayest Harold Perrineau performance you could ask for, why Juliet really needs her own squad, and how much we love swords as guns. The Bard, baby!

  • Rent

    Jordan and Brooke close out the year with Chris Columbus's unconventional holiday movie about the supposed power of collective action...or maybe just a toxic friend group! We go through which characters have been terrible people since the musical premiered, Jonathan Larson's catchy tunes and personal writing journey, the stereotypes of cheating bisexuals and tragic drag queens (eek), and our favorite questional "La Vie Bohème" lyrics.
