Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by Roxana Hadadi (Vulture) for Lorene Scafaria's 2019 masterpiece – yes, masterpiece! There is directorial style! There are great needle drops! There is JLo in an incredible fur coat! We discuss why this movie wasn't given the awards season treatment, the very legitimate Ramona x Destiny ship, recent "Netflix-ifciation" of A-list actors, ethics of scamming Wall Street finance bros, and some Juicy Couture archive pulls.

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by filmmaker, video essayist and actor Ben Chinapen for our fave fim of the year (so far). Luca Guadagnino goes god mode with under the court shots, intense homoeroticism as always, and a real, actual, proper love triangle. We talk the club-ready Reznor & Ross score, how sex is tennis and tennis is sex, films shot but not set in Boston, messy bisexual longing, and a whole lot of phallic shaped foods.

Jordan and Brooke are joined by Letterboxd senior editor Mitchell Beaupre (The Letterboxd Show) for Nicholas Ray's unconventional 1954 Western. We get to talk about icon/legend/notorious hater Joan Crawford, Nicholas Ray's frankly crazy life, an epic Southwest witch hunt, women in PANTS, and how this is definitely a film for the enbys.

Jordan and Brooke are joined by friend and producer Jose Cañas for 2003's midnight slasher. They inevitably get mired in this movie's insurmountable twist, praise director Alexandre Aja for the sheer craft on display, and debate what we should actually take away from the gory kills and final jump scare here. Plus, that weird string of mid-2000s horror remakes!

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by Phil Iscove (Podcast Like It's 1992) for 2022's absolute masterclass in filmmaking (and, surprisingly, memes?). We dig into Lydia's gender presentation in a male-dominated industry (is she actually...a girlboss?), the thrills and humor Todd Field manages to layer here, pretend pretension and why basically everyone can enjoy this movie, and Cate Blanchett's amazing U-Haul lesbian wardrobe!

Jordan and Brooke are joined by author & writer Phil Tice for 1993's sincere take on the Western epics. Phil goes deep and analyzes Doc and Wyatt's incredibly intimate conversations, Brooke laments the terribly underwritten women of this film, and Jordan marvels at the fact that two podcasters could get this excited about gunslinging.

Jordan and Brooke are joined by Ella Kemp (Letterboxd) for 2007's sock-hoppin' musical featuring - gasp - actual sets?! We talk some inspired (and some uninspired) casting choices, the legacy of John Waters, all things camp, drag, JAMES EFFING MARSDEN, and Zac Efron's one perfect curl.

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by Mia Lee Vicino (Letterboxd, Best in Show) for 1938's delightful romp, known as a box office flop and the "feral stepchild" of screwball comedies. We finally get to discuss David Canfield's amazing article on Cary Grant & Randolph Scott's life, thirst over noted badass Katharine Hepburn, marvel at how insane it is to combine these practical effects with such snappy writing, and express major fashion and gender envy over Cary Grant in a fluffy dressing gown.

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by writer & podcaster Cass Clarke (Horror Hangover) for 1976's iconic and powerful film, the prom royalty of teen horror. We talk bitch-ass high schoolers, Carrie being punished via a literal closet, historically sexy art of St. Sebastian, the abject horror of womanhood, how we really need to nominate more horror at the Oscars, and getting cathartic, bloody REVENGE!!
