April 17, 2025 EMMA. (2020)
Period piece so strong they punctuated the title. Yapping about excellent costumes and Mia Goth's lovable face this week. Also Gayle King went to space and it's def a PR front conspiracy to take up news headlines to distract from the genocide... just saying. And formal apologies to any history nerds for my half ass explanation of what the regency era was all about... we all have our weaknesses.

April 10, 2025 Boogie Nights
In case you're like me and thought this movie was about disco... please be prepared to hear us talk about the adult film industry in the 70s, along with the topics that surround that such as sex, violnce, drug use, misogyny etc.
ALSO we give some praise to Marky Mark for his performance in this film, but be reminded that he is a bad guy who has done some pretty terrible, racist stuff.
That being said, this movie fckn rocks. Rest in peace Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Ya know what Mrs. Karenina? I'd ruin my own life for that mustache too. Been replaying AaronTaylorJohnsonWithMustacheLightingCigSexily.gif over and over in my mind since this move came out.

March 27, 2025 Muppets from Space

Also, I was pissed when the Atlantic article about the Yemen bombing text thread was behind a paywall (ew) so here is a link to a twitter thread that has all of it screenshotted because FUCK everything that's happening right now and access to information is KEY, not that it's super relevant to anything we spoke of but... leaving that here

Time to nut up or shut up and talk about the 2009 zombie apocalypse comedy film Zombieland.
Jesse Eisenberg uncomfortable interview (watching this back I def think they're doing a bit and this was staged, sorry for the mild character assassination Mr. Jesse)

February 20, 2025 Anastasia
If you have 2 minutes and 26 seconds to spare, might I suggest listening to the BANGER In the Dark of the Night from this week's film, 1997's Anastasia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ocm8QdNR_d8
Sources:
I got most of my Don Bluth intel from this article
And all historical Rasputin knowledge comes from the 4 part podcast series on him from Last Podcast on the Left, which I highly suggest if you're interested in learning more about Mr. Stinky Dick Magic

February 13, 2025 Never Let Me Go
Grab a box of tissues or maybe ten, and get those scene bangs pushed to the side babe, cuz we're traveling back to 2010 to link up with dystopian organ donors Andrew Garfield, Keira Knightly, and Carrie Mulligan.

You'll never shut down the real napster (but it's just me taking a nap). We let Jen pick the movies this month, and she served us up a platter of Mark Wahlberg nonsense. Happy 4 year anniversary to this podcast, and big thanks to all who've been with us along the way :)
