Where Do I Know Them From?

Need a reason to dump your straight white boyfriend? Where Do I Know Them From brings you their episode on The Riot Club. This 2014 film starring Sam Claflin brings us the darker side of "just guys being dudes." Covering the annual debaucherous dinner of a fictional Oxford secret society, the film provokes Elizabeth and Alexandra to consider modern gender, ethnic, and class dynamics, the power of groupthink, and the evil stored within the old-money-floppy-boy haircut. This week we try and pick up the pieces after Sam Claflin proves to us that he can and will use his eyebrows for evil and leave us questioning our relationship with every man in our life.

This week we have a real treat-- Where Do I Know Them From's first horror episode! That's right this episode cover's Sam Claflin's 2014 movie The Quiet Ones. For all of you who saw Sam Claflin in On Stranger Tides and thought "what if this priest was a filmmaker and this mermaid was a possessed child," do we have a movie for you. We lament the audio production studio gods, question the consequences of corrupt morality of science and psychology in the horror genre, and as always pick apart the plot until nothing is left standing. This episode truly has it all-- cults, psychology, true crime, and the aesthetic of the 1970s! The perfect way to kick off your hot girl summer.

In perhaps our most anticipated episode yet, Alexandra and Elizabeth cover 3 of the 4 Hunger Games movies, Catching Fire, Mockingjay Part 1, and Mockingjay Part 2. We dive into the impact of these films on our culture and the psyches of an entire generation of youth, eventually coming to the conclusion that we could run a far more efficient corrupt government than Presidents Snow OR Coin. This episode boarders on oral history as we discuss one of the most impactful movie franchises of our lifetime. Want to know how can one film podcast episode manage to connect revolutionary morality, game design, and trauma to Vanderpump Rules? Want to know if Alexandra and Elizabeth were #TeamGale or #TeamPeeta? Tune in this week to find out!

In this episode of Where Do I Know Them From? Alexandra and Elizabeth tackle our first franchise, Snow White and the Huntsman and The Huntsman: Winter's War. These movies were a doozy, listeners, and like always we have some thoughts. Tag along with us as we bravely venture through a thicket of confusing action plot, goopy magic, and feminist imagery. Tune in this week to find out who would win in a fight-- Kristen Stewart or Charlize Theron, what happens when you put Jessica Chastain, Charlize Theron, and Emily Blunt all in a movie together, and if we will forgive Sam Claflin for making us watch a truly awful sequel only because he was in it for two minutes.

AVAST, ye podcast listeners, it's time we be setting sail for Season Two! ...too much? Yeah...

It's the first episode of Season Two and Alexandra and Elizabeth cover Sam Claflin's first feature film, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. We spend 50 minutes discussing the importance of accurately portraying mermaid anatomy, the influence of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies on society's perception of pirates, and Elizabeth gets to breakout Blackbeard fun facts previously only heard on her first dates. This episode is sure to make a splash in your weekly podcast lineup as we discuss your favorite swashbuckling pirates and our favorite mermaid evangelist.

In the beginning, there was Adam. Sound familiar? It's not the Bible, it's our podcast's origin story! Much like the book of Genesis this podcast originated with an Adam -- though a drastically different one. That's right, before there was Saoirse, Alexandra and Elizabeth watched all of Adam Driver's movies. Now, by popular demand, we have recorded an episode covering all the highlights of our first foray into watching entire filmographies (and also into friendship <3). Come along with us as we tell you some of our favorite movies, our favorite performances and, most importantly, our least favorite movies and performances.

"STOP IN THE NAME OF THE LAW!" It's the Where Do I Know Them From? Season One Finale!!! This week Elizabeth and Alexandra cover the movie that inspired the whole podcast, Saoirse Ronan's 2022 film See How They Run. This movie, inspired by Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap, has all the trimmings of a classic whodunit and so much more... but in like a cool meta way. Tune in this week to hear Elizabeth on the verge of tears over how much she loves this movie, and Alexandra admire Adrian Brody's snake-like movement. We laugh, we cry, we reminisce on how this season has gone, and most importantly we have some very exciting announcements about Season 2!!!!

Who asked, no one. Who answered, we did. It's another Wes Anderson episode for you guys. That's right for our penultimate episode of our first season we are covering the 2021 film The French Dispatch (of the Liberty Kansas Evening Sun). Is a movie really pretentious enough if it doesnt have a much longer superfluous version of it's name? This week we will find out as Elizabeth and Alexandra put on their thinking caps as they desperately try and figure out what the hell is going on in this movie. We navigate a thicket of Wes Anderson aesthetic to finally answer the question we have all been asking for years: "is it good, or was it just directed by Wes Anderson?" But of course this is not a Wes Anderson podcast, so this week we also humbly offer you analysis of Saoirse's five second role in this film, and our usual refusal to pronounce "Timothée Chalamet" correctly.

CW: death, Wes Anderson slander, Kansas.

We know what you are thinking, after 25 episodes of us saying "is this character queer coded?" we are finally getting an episode where Saoirse Ronan is playing an explicitly gay character! Elizabeth and Alexandra must be so excited, right? Guess again! Hop on board for another half hour of us talking about whether or not Kate Winslett is MILF material, the ethics of queering straight stories (especially since queer stories are so often straightened), and the effects of the male gaze on a story about two women in love.

CW: sex, cheating

"Christopher Columbus!" It's Where Do I Know Them From's Little Women episode! We take you through the 2019 Academy Award winning movie about all our favorite things: friendship, family, and having the littlest feet in the family. This episode is for the Jo March girlies and the besties who insist upon coordinating their color schemes based on their corresponding sins. Settle in for another episode full of begrudgingly praising Greta Gerwig, refusing to pronounce Timothée Chalamet's name correctly, and pointing out that Saoirse Ronan's characters are "not like other girls."
