Trash & Treasures

There are eight zillion movies about the Hardship of Being Queer. How about a goofy genre romcom where two ladies fall in love, instead?

Featuring the best wingman ever, unexpectedly accurate Hannibal references, and a lot of coming out feels.

Six friends, with names that match their personality traits, take a trip to the middle of nowhere to stay with an adult they've never met before. It goes surprisingly well for them.

Also a disembodied pair of legs kicks a portrait of a cat until it spits blood water, because this movie laughs at your confusion.

Happy (early) Valentine's Day, everyone!

In order to honor this holiday with the respect it deserves, our hosts decided to watch a melodrama full of badly animated, terrible people that famously ends in a double homicide. It's the best comedy series of the season.

All that plus a one-up contest over who can name the weirdest visual novel, the ending to that crowbarred YA love triangle you've always wanted, and why pregnancy Does Not Work That Way.

CONTENT WARNING for discussion of sexual assault.

1980s New York: a perfect place to set Charles Dickens' story about a sad secretly high class boy (you can tell by how kind and goodlooking he is) is saved from being grouped with Those Dirty, Wicked Poors.

Really though, have you read Oliver Twist lately? That book is fucked up.

Chris introduces another of Disney's forgotten 80s films to a less than impressed audience, Vrai fights fiercely to talk about musicals instead, and Dorothy has feelings about Dickensian classism. And the alarming amount of dog murder in this movie (which is more than zero).

...Also it's possible we wound up talking about Evangelion for a while too. Somebody reset the counter.

Okay, so there are these vampires, right? And they all originated from this time a demon possessed a human, yeah? Well it turns out we're all connected by magic ethereal blood tentacles and....

Yeah, lemme get a drink before we get any further into this.

Some things are best experienced secondhand. Dorothy and Vrai are here to report these things to you, with the help of a little liquid courage.

Join us on our periodical journey through the bad, the weird, and the trashy lowlights of literature, starting with something we both love very, very much: The Vampire Chronicles.

Or, we did, before certain sequels turned the hero into an unrepentant rapist and brought in "science" that even L Ron Hubbard would call kind of far-fetched. Now we just can't look away. Join us, won't you?

Vrai reviews better VC books: https://vraikaiser.com/2016/05/06/interview-with-the-vampire-part-1/

CONTENT WARNING: This episode features discussion of sexual assault and intimate partner abuse.

Worry not, this isn't here to replace Trash & Treasures. But frankly, we weren't prepared to face 2017 sober just yet.

You can find other episode on Soundcloud, iTunes, and Stitcher. If you have a moment, please leave a rating or review! It helps new listeners find their way to us.

What better way to ring in the holidays than with the rise and fall and rerise of Robert Downey Jr.? How about a DOUBLE LENGTH EPISODE?

Join us for two movies set in Godless LA (tm), once as tragedy and once as comedy. We'll make insensitive coke angels, cry about RDJ's unintended method acting, and flail a lot about that movie like six people saw (and all of them really wanna tell you about it).

Good news! Now you can not only find us fortnightly on iTunes and Soundcloud, but on Stitcher too! If you can, drop by and leave us a rating and review - it helps new folks find us. And happy holidays!

This week, a flick somehow infinitely more sensitive and heartfelt than the thousands of other Manpain Revenge Movies that ripped it off.

Dorothy talks us through her baby goth years, Chris talks about mountains of cocaine, and Vrai is not coping well with these things you call "e-mosh-uns."

Also as a heads up, it turns out there's definitely no funny way to talk about the tragic death of Brandon Lee, so heads up for some heartbreak.

Some rascally kids spend two years locked in an attic and get up to good, wholesome fun.

Really though, we're talking about a VC Andrews story. So....heads up for discussion of sexual assault, child abuse, and incest.

Don't forget to subscribe on Soundcloud or iTunes, and if you can leave us a rating or review! Helps people find us, y'know?

Remember when Cars 2 came out, and everyone was like "PIXAR HAS HIT BOTTOM, WE NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD HAPPEN?" This is that but for Disney.

Chris has more dirty laundry from Disney's dark age and a list of baffling changes from the novels; Vrai wants their two dollars back, and Dorothy mounts a campaign against the cinematic misrepresentation of bards.

Remember the rabbits? You remember the rabbits, don't you?

In which we visit one of the most infamously scarring children's movies ever made -- Dorothy recounts all the ways the adaptation could've been even more horrifying, Vrai accidentally reveals themself to be kind of the worst, and Chris is more than a little broken from the experience.
