Racists HATE THEM! local siblings SOLVE RACISM with this ONE WEIRD TRICK

Writer/filmmaker/probably a wizard Ivana Brehas joins the podcast once more with another genius combination of films; the horror hit ‘Get Out’, and ‘Tyrel’, a lower-budget drama with some mixed critical reception.

There are some truly striking similarities between both movies, what with their Black protagonists being trapped in different micro-aggressing levels of bougie white HELL - so which will win, the huge horror movie that was nominated for Best Picture or the indie piece in which “nothing even happens?”

This episode is TURTLEY radical, tubular, and mondo!!! also cowabunga

We speak with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expert/film projectionist/good person Zach Karpinellison about his recent infatuation w the sewer-dwelling green freaks, and also revisit the 1990 TMNT film that brought the franchise to global attention.

But before that, Noah, Eliza and Zach check out the 1960s kaiju film 'Gamera, the Giant Monster'; another tale of mutant turtles, only this time it's authentically Japanese and the turtle is skyscraper-sized. Which turtle film beat the shell out of the other? Which practical effects 'turtle suit' is more effective and/or cuddly? and most importantly, what's the deal with Krang?

witness the Lee family legacy ...and TRAGEDY *sadly kicks a bad guy's head off*

for eons now, Noah has been obsesst with Bruce Lee and his distinct brand of badass. not just his movies, like 1973's 'Enter The Dragon', but also his tragic early demise, and the eerie on-set death of his son Brandon Lee while filming his breakout 'The Crow'.

LISTEN to the stunningly sad true story behind the deaths of both Lee family action stars!!!!! PONDER whether the movies are important and funky in their own right beyond the hypnotic celebrity deaths they're probably best known for!!! GAPE as Eliza admits that she was really into the recent Grinch TV musical!!!!

dam i wish i lived back in the olden times!! back when ppl could have super sexy and easy queer lives!!!! holidaying and havin sex in europe!!

This romantic, heartbreaking pair of recent queer romances came from the twisted musical mind of Anthony Carr, our podcast's own troubadour. And the gang has plenty of tears to shed over both movies, Luca Guadagnino's portrait of a sexy summer on fire 'Call Me By Your Name' and Celine Sciamma's 'Portrait Of A Lady On Fire', a tale of womens art and work and loss omg.

Both movies are basically unimPEACHable (hehe sorry) stories of finding oneself in a life-changing same-sex relationship, but only one can triumph!!! the other one will b thrown into a chemical fire! no it won't hehe dw friends

the two GREATEST and BLUEST romantic films of all time! and by bluest, i don't mean like 'erotic', they just literally look extremely blue

Meg, Noah, and Eliza compare Barry Jenkins' Best Picture-winning, revelatory and intimate portrait of black queer masculinity to uhhhhhh the YA vampire vs. werewolf franchise that is frequently derided as one of the worst love stories of all time. Does Catherine Hardwicke's 'Twilight' stand a chance against 'Moonlight'? Would 'Moonlight' be better if Chiron was a vampire??? so so many questions and very few answers. but lots of fun to make up for it.

The gang is BACK with the love and support of That's Not Canon Productions, making this podcast a truly sexy til-death-do-us-part romantic affair. Just like the ride-or-die romance in this week's films, the 1967 counterculture classic 'Bonnie and Clyde' and the recent remix of the Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker myth, 'Queen and Slim'.

How does the meaning of these sensual getaway stories change over time, and with the changing of the sexie lovers' race and social context? What do the siblings think of those brutal yet inevitable death scenes at the end of both movies? And how can YOU find ur own ride-or-die gangsters moll who is willing to go down in a blaze of glory with u? we don't know tbh

But listen in anyway, because both movies r DEVILISHLY stylish and tragique in their own unique way! and only one can win!

This week the Janssen siblings and Anthony take the BORED out of BOARD game, by looking at not only the witty ensemble comedy 'Clue' but also 'Knives Out', last year's whodunnit hit that acts as a loving homage of 'Clue' and other retro murder mysteries. Both movies feature a murderer's row (literally!!! lmao!!!) of acting talent, and are set in big ol shambling aristocratic family homes, but is the central murder mystery at the heart of each film satisfying, or just a big stinky pile of red herrings?

The gang puts on their lil deerstalker caps and comically oversized magnifying glasses to get to the bottom of both winding whodunnits, fully investigating Daniel Craig's so-so accent work and 'Clue''s most quotable Miss White moments. if ur Marta from 'Knives Out' be careful not to puke while listening cos this ep is SICKENING

It's our second Marty Scorsese episode and our first ever look into the filmography of Paul Schrader, both New Yorky New Hollywood movie bros who collaborated on 'Taxi Driver' and have here made their own attempts at telling stories of religious agony and ecstasy in historical Japan. The only problem? Both 2016's 'Silence' and 1985's 'Mishima: A Life In Four Chapters' are reeeeeally good n engaging n maybe made Noah have a spiritual moment, so where are we gonna land ???

We argue about the technical achievements of 'Mishima' versus 'Silence''s painful reckoning with religious integrity, as well as playing a stupid lil minigame that proves Anthony knows everything about music and that the rest of the team is WOEFULLY lacking in their knowledge of Aardman's 'Flushed Away'. absolutely shameful.
