The Ritter Podcast

In this week's episode, we discuss our favorite events from the Paris Summer Olympics, including unexpected love stories, biological mishaps, hazardous waste, and epic fails.

In Episode 15, we review the new dada thriller Longlegs and discuss apocalyptic movie theaters, Nicolas Cage, washed-up clowns, an obsession with faces, the perfect dinner party, and the haunting of the parasocial.

We discuss a book that's wet all the way through—Jessica Au's Cold Enough for Snow—and cover the agony of human eros and mountain eros, the weirdness of parents, family, the impossibility of knowing anyone fully, and, finally, Leah's conspiracy theory about the latest news.

In this episode of The Ritter, we share some recent, revealing dreams, cover Mormon and German news, do a deep-dive on our tattoo preferences, and play a little game called "What if I Did This." We also discuss Kristen Stewart's dream-come-true and her directorial debut, Come Swim.

In Episode 12, we bring you an important PSA on food safety and discuss the foxy boxers that populate Rita Bullwinkel's new novel HEADSHOT, plus nuns, enemies, girl mythology, the homosociality of female lineages, and why water is the strongest force. Happy Cancer Season!

We kick off Season 2 with our take on the sweatiest sports movie we've ever seen—Challengers—and discuss the rise of the Rodent Man, sexiness, relational clichés, Serena Williams' sick tennis burns, and what makes the perfect three.

In our season finale, we discuss the media trend of aesthetic lesbians gone wild, the soon-to-be cult classic Love Lies Bleeding, and Kristen Stewart, Katy O'Brian, and the dismantling of the lesser Franco....as well as box gyms, 80s workout gear, repetition and failure, The Ritter's hot hot summer plans, and extreme hair cutting as a sport.
