Z and Keith Watched A Movie episodes

  • Ep 4.25 - Heavenly Creatures

    Here we are wrapping on Pride month with this pretty lil bow on top. And crickey, what a wolloper!

    Screen debut of both pod fave, Ms Melanie Lynskey AND one madame Kate "draw me like one of your French girls" Winslet.
    (RIP the passengers and crew of the OceanGate Titan)
    Directed by ol Petey J himself*. And based on "real events"!

    You just gotta watch this one.
    Plus we give our reflections on our June picks.

    *Keith erroneously attributes the Evil Dead movies to Jackson. WRONG. That's Sam Raimi. Idiot.

  • Ep 4.24 - My Own Private Idaho

    Greetings, spudbuddies!
    We are here to unearth Gus Van Sant's wild potato, the very indie 90's My Own Private Idaho (1991).
    An impressionistic search for home with some Shakespearean-affected caricatures met along the way.
    Plus: we renew our vows to woke-pilled globalist hegemony.

  • Ep 4.23 - Desert Hearts

    Our queer asses were caught off guard by this movie!

    Apparently as essential to Sapphic culture as "The Dinah", neither of us had even heard of this film before scheduling it for this month.
    But with its disarming earnestness and bucking of tragegay™ tropes, it's easy to see why it's considered a classic.

  • Ep 4.22 - The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

    Crack open a Foster's cuz this year's Pride begins Down Under with the other well-known movie about three drag queens taking a road trip!

    But don't drink and drive.
    Not even through the Outback.

  • Ep 4.20 - The Silence of the Lambs [Z's bday May #3]

    Yo!
    Z's third bday pick is another movie which contains a nude crotch shot.
    And that overshadowed much of everything else the film has going for it.
    A film so deeply imbedded in the cultural zeitgeist that many folks to this day can't hear the words "lotion" "fava beans" or "Clarice" without compulsively quoting it.

  • Ep 4.19 - Léon: The Professional [Z's bday May #2]

    Gurl, here we go again!

    In this second installment Z's bday May, we bring you Luc "short-eyes" Besson's tale of a young girl and a grown-ass hitman tryna make their way in the world today.
    An extremely 90's indy film that Keith was unaware of before Z shared their 20+ year obsession with it.
    Here we are talking the original full length cut was not shown in US cinemas.
    Time to do some growing up....

  • Ep 4.18 - The Crying Game [Z's bday May #1]

    May Day, May Day - It's Z's birthday Month!

    And to kick it off we are bringing you the film you've been dying for us to talk about since at least March: The Crying Game.

    Neil Jordan's most infamous film (at least in the States) has a lot more going on than a genital surprise. In some ways, it's almost like a synthesis of Mona Lisa (1986) and The Long Good Friday (1981). Or at least, all three movies will heretofore always be conflated in Keith's brain...

    Happy outdoor f*cking!

  • Ep 4.17 - The First Power (with special guest Randall!)

    To close out Easter's Revenge, we welcome long time listener/first time guest Randall to talk The First Power (1990).
    We bond over our shared Kober-philia, magical seatbelts, our appreciation for the action and stunt work and our confusion over why it isn't in a different, better movie.
    Plus Z catches us up on Shawnee language and Picard!

    Easter is dead!
