We're continuing Fullmetal August with the second "season" of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. After a brief sidebar about Mario lore, we talk about the different factions being introduced and Edward's psychological arc. Plus: big boobs and vore. Plus PLUS: we're taking a break from FMAB next week because spending five episodes on this show was a ludicrous endeavor, a fool's errand, truly a Rickybrained decision.

Fullmetal August kicks off with a discussion of the first 13 episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. After a lengthy digression about the renaissance faire and Ricky's new couch (?), we get into the series' worldbuilding, the breakneck pacing, and the mechanics of the alchemy system. Strap in folks because we're doing this for five weeks. Go girl give us nothing, etc.

Jesse July comes to a bittersweet end with I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020) directed by Charlie Kaufman. After a digression surrounding Ricky's penchant with bulk fruit, we talk about this movie's not-quite-surreal, not-quite-horrific tone, fun psychological probing, and dense visual style. Plus: a little game.

Hostiles? More like no smiles >:( this week's Jesse July entry is Hostiles (2017) directed by Scott Cooper. We talk about this movie's dogshit performances, weird racism, and how our podcast needs to cover an original Western sometime. Plus: Ricky makes up an episode of the Twilight Zone.

Jesse July continues with this week's film, The Master (2012) directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. We get into the Welles/Brando of it all, the interesting psychosexual dynamic between the two leads, and, of course, Tom Cruise and Scientology. Plus: we discuss the Bugonia trailer and its prominent sweaty ponytail 🥵🥵 We also talk about Nosferatu a lot for some reason. Why is this episode so horny?

Maligned, misunderstood classic or a correctly discarded misfire? The first movie in our Jesse July miniseries is Observe and Report (2009) directed by Jody Hill, an underseen comedy with an outsized reputation. Join us for a discussion around this movie's attempted satire, Seth Rogen's screen persona, and the effortlessness with which Plemons assumes the energy of a character who works at a mall in 2009.

One HUNDRED movies! This week's wrap on our pride month miniseries includes The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant (1972) directed by Rainer Fassbinder and Love Lies Bleeding (2024) directed by Rose Glass. We get into fluffy robes, phone acting, toxic lesbian relationships, fisting, turning into your dad, testosterone (problematic?), fisting again, and, of course, a little game. Happy pride month!

Pride month continues with this week's two pride pics, Brokeback Mountain (2005) directed by Ang Lee and Theater Camp (2023) directed by Nick Lieberman and Molly Gordon. After an extended mishap of losing Ricky's audio while talking about Mario Kart World f0r 20 minutes, we summarize Theater Camp (literal nothing movie) and get into Brokeback for the majority of the runtime. Lane gets Heath Ledger now, Ricky talks about how one of us needs to die for us to have a good podcast, and Christopher confirmed heterosexual.

Continuing in our pride month miniseries, this week's pride pics are The Birdcage (1996) directed by Mike Nichols and All About My Mother (1999) directed by Pedro Almodóvar. After talking about dick humor and keys, we discuss Robin Williams' screen persona, whether All About My Mother is a serious movie, and the timelessness of these themes. Also, a really long tangent about Frankenstein.

Happy Pride Month watchers 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈‼️ We're starting a whole MONTH of LGBTQ-movies with two pride pics, The Boys in the Band (1970) directed by William Friedkin and Y Tu Mamá También (2001) directed by Alfonso Cuarón. One of us vastly prefers one of these movies more than the other, and one of us says "I liked it!" about both of them. Any guesses who is whom? We get into meanness culture, Pee-Wee Herman/Paul Reubens, and the smell of oral sex. Plus: a little game.
