Why Are We Like This?

It's another of Nomi's favorite movies, and this time we're chatting about Black Christmas (2006). She's got a lot to say about this one, considering she watches it at least once a day during the month of December. It's on a loop more than TNT replays A Christmas Story.
So grab your eggnog, cozy up by the fire, and sharpen that candy cane to an uncomfortably sharp point and we close this season of The Mr. & Mrs. Show with a Holiday favorite. See you next year gang and thanks for joining us!

It happened. It's been a long time coming, but Nomi finally convinced Robert to talk about one of her favorite movies, Showgirls. It's a deep dive into a film that many have considered to be a deep dud. But there's a lot taken for granted in this movie, despite the seemingly over-the-top performances, seedy storyline, and nudity galore.

I wouldn't say the movie has heart, but it definitely has soul. Maybe it's just too much of a mirror for most people to be able to face when watching it? Just sayin'. Happy Holiday's ya'll!

Robert and Nomi join  S. A. Bradley, (author of Screaming for Pleasure: How Horror Makes You Happy and Healthy and host of the Hellbent for Horror podcast) on a fun and energetic riff on one of our oldest and most beautiful storytelling forms: the horror genre. Bradley talks to us about how the genre is tailor-made for allegory and metaphor, and how it allows us to have a safe “handshake” with our shadow-selves. We also chat about our "first-kisses" with horror, how horror can sometimes be a safe space for LGBTQIA+ community and other "cultural outcasts", and why the genre deserves respect.

S.A. Bradley is the host of Hellbent For Horror, a popular 4- time Rondo Award-nominated podcast exploring all things horror across books, film, comics, and music that has been described by director Guillermo Del Toro as "well researched, articulate and entirely absorbing." Bradley, who has loved being scared by over 1,600 horror films, turned his passion into purpose by sharing his expansive knowledge on countless podcasts and in anthologies like Medium Chill and EvilSpeak magazine. He has lectured at Webster University and The College of Idaho, and alsoperformed his live show “My Horror Manifesto” in NYC and horror conventions like TusCon, FearCon, MileHi Con and more across the USA.

 Bradley’s first book, Screaming for Pleasure: How Horror Makes You Happy and Healthy, is a thrilling ride through the horror genre, its intense effect on every generation, and how you can be enriched by horror. The book was nominated for a Rondo Award for Best Book of 2018. Bradley has been featured in Dread Central, iHorror.com, Horrorhound, SyFy Wire and more for his work in the horror genre. 

 Prior to becoming a champion of horror, Bradley served in the U.S. Air Force and was a firefighter. He now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife and their dog, Fiona, where they can often be found meditating in a death metal mosh pit or dancing around a Northern Californian fire pit drum circle.

Are you hungry for more? No. really. It feels like Nomi and Robert are perpetually hungry, even when they just ate. There's always an opportunity for one more snack, one more dessert, and one more serving. Does it ever end? Do you ever feel the same?

With all of the recently released footage of our Girls filming the newest season, we wanted to revisit our chat from last year about And Just Like That...  and Sex and The City. What do you think will be in store for Season Two?

We'll have a new episode up next week, with another special guest!

Sex and the City is BACK, and Nomi has quite a bit to say. Actually, as a newer fan of the show, it seems like Robert has even MORE to say, including why Carrie, as such a Self-Destructive character, belongs with Burger. Not really, but join us as we discuss the ins and outs of why we enjoy the series and why we are so excited about this chapter in the Sex and the City story!

This week we have a very special guest; Dr. Disneyland himself Dr. Jeffrey A. Barnes!
Jeff Barnes is the best-selling author of two books based on the life of Walt Disney and the creation of Disney theme parks. Jeff attributes his passion for Disney to his love of history and Walt’s story of success. Jeff believes the parks teach us some of life’s greatest lessons.

Jeff is more than an expert on Walt Disney and a fan of the theme parks. When Jeff talks to audiences, he blends the history, nostalgia, and Disney experience that we all love with real-life applications.

Robert & Nomi chat with Jeffrey about our favorite rides, fun facts about Disney history, and what is it about Walt Disney and the parks is so special.

For workshop bookings, to purchase a copy of his books, or invite Dr. Disneyland to give you your very own personalized VIP tour of the Disney Parks, you can find out more at https://thewisdomofwalt.com/

This week Nomi was triggered by the most recent episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and she wanted to get a few things off her chest. We were then led to a discussion about some other things that have been grinding our gears lately. Seems like there's quite a bit of bullshittery going on recently, but is it fair to blame Mercury and its frequent retrograde?

Thank you all for listening along to all of our 50 EPISODES! It's been an amazing ride!

Nomi and Robert are talking about one of Nomi's favorite shows, Ryan Murphy's NIP/TUCK. We chat a bit about the show's characters, its influence on pop culture, what it's done for beauty culture, and why we love Ryan Murphy's work.

We also talk about how plastic surgery can sometimes go a little too far, leaving you with some frightening visual side effects. But when it comes to beauty, how far is too far?
