Where Do I Know Them From?

On this week's episode, Alexandra and Elizabeth cover Saoirse Ronan's 2018 film, The Seagull, adapted from the play by Anton Chekov. You know what that means? That's right we're talking Chekov's guns! This week is full of speculation about the creation of art, the cost of fame, and the crucial role of drunk uncles (druncles) in keeping toxic families together. And as if that wasn't enough, Alexandra finds another way to reference Twilight.

In honor of National Women's Day this week we tackle two girl boss monarchs who ultimately fought themselves into oblivion to prove they were just as good as men. The moral? Men are a disease. And also Margot Robbie somehow makes smallpox look hot. Join us on this exciting journey through the internalized misogyny of the past.

On this week's episode of Where Do I Know Them From? Alexandra and Elizabeth discuss Saoirse Ronan's 2017 film On Chesil Beach, and try to pick up the pieces after this film left us in a deep emotional despair. Never did we think that the movie that would make us the most sad would also be our episode with the most sex jokes, but life is funny that way. This movie provoked many big feelings and big questions for us. Namely: Is Ian McEwan okay? Why are there so many feet in this movie? And, most importantly, is watching this movie more effective at promoting abstinence than abstinence-only education?

Calling all art hoes, this episode is for you guys! This week we cover Loving Vincent, Saoirse Ronan's 2017 film animated entirely through oil painting. Don't worry-- despite its visually stunning nature, we have our usual mountain of complaints and hard questions. Questions such as: why are animated characters obligated to only have one look? Is every mystery just a rip off of Nancy Drew? And why is the French postal service so broken it lost a letter for a whole year?

This one is truly something!

In this episode of Where Do I Know Them From? Elizabeth and Alexandra discuss Saoirse Ronan's 2015 film Weepah Way For Now.

If there's one thing we have learned, it's that Saoirse Ronan annihilates any role involving a deeply traumatic childhood. In this episode, Elizabeth and Alexandra unpack more fictionalized trauma and discuss Ronan's 2015 film, Stockholm, Pennsylvania. Following a young woman who has recently been discovered after being kidnapped 20 years ago, this movie is for all the true crime girlies out there. Listen to us barely cope with our shock over the thrilling ending of an otherwise mellow kidnapping movie.

On this episode of Where Do I Know Them From?, Alexandra and Elizabeth discuss Saoirse Ronan's 2015 film, Brooklyn. Finally, a movie devoid of color theory for us to analyze. We tackle the hard hitting questions such as "does film portray a universal immigrant experience" and "when does this movie actually take place?" Sit back, relax, and let us detail the benefits of having your younger brother ghostwrite your love letters. 

Sometimes when you watch an actor's entire filmography you come across a movie that said actor is only in for a matter of seconds, and luckily for us, that film for Saoirse Ronan is the 2014 masterpiece Muppets Most Wanted. This episode of Where Do I Know Them From? asks the tough questions that you always wondered about but were too afraid to ask. Questions like "does Kermit the Frog have a penis?" and "what are the implications of WWII occurring in the Muppets Universe?" We tackle it all with the help of our bestie and Muppets enthusiast, Stevie!

This week's episode covers Ryan Gosling's 2014 directorial debut, Lost River. How the river was lost, no clue, but we do know we lost 95 minutes of our lives watching it. The takeaways? Ryan Gosling loves purple, Matt Smith is exceptional at playing villains, and Saoirse Ronan looks great as a brunette. This story might be an allegory for a trip to the underworld or it might just be the worst movie we have watched this year... or both!
