Z and Keith Watched A Movie episodes

  • Ep 3.39 - 9 to 5 (three shewolves & a little pig)

    Howdy, y'all!  

    We wrap our month of workin' it w/Dolly with the 1980 classic 9 to 5. 

    One part revenge fantasy, one part slapstick comedy, a healthy dose of "women's lib"  and at least a few pinches of WTF, this mélange of mayhem only works as well as it does because of it's amazing cast.   


    Next stop--HOLLERWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!

  • [FREE EXTRA BONUS FOR THE PROLES] "Chicken Ranch" & "9to5: The Story of A Movement"

    Surprise!


    In this EXTRA FREE VALUE-ADDED episode we're talking about two documentaries related to our other viewing this month.

    We watched Chicken Ranch (1983) and Keith watched 9to5: The Story of A Movement (2020).
    The first goes inside a notorious legalized brothel in Nevada which claims a lineage with the house of the same name that was the basis for The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
    The other, as you probably guessed, is the true story that inspired Straight Talk.
    jk
    9to5 details the history of a movement of women organizing around discrimination is the workplace. Beginning with clerical workers at Harvard, it eventually became a nationwide organization. Along the way there were scandals, unions and even a Jane Fonda here and there.

  • Ep 3.38 - The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas

    No punny subtitle this week--this one speaks for itself!


    Based on the hit Broadway production, we're talking the celluloid adaptation of a story based on real events, 1982's Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
    Z breaks down some of the problems with FOSTA/SESTA and we relay some of our early encounters with pornography.

  • Ep 3.36 - Straight Talk (small town Shirlee ain't so shy in the Chi)

    Arkansasian bumpkin Shirlee Kenyan stumbles into the top of the talk radio charts with her homespun country wisdom. Along the way, the most undesirable man in the world berates her, digs into her past and then--you guessed it--falls for and wins her over.

    And there's a lot of car horns.   

    We had some recording foul-ups while making this episode (don't read into it!) so pardon our dust.

  • Ep 3.32 - Gods and Monsters [Fraser Fest ep1]

    In this very special episode, we both cry.  

    We're talking Gods and Monsters (1998). Based on the novel Father of Frankenstein by Christopher Bram which gives a speculative account of the last days of Frankenstein (1931) director James Whale.  

    Oddly enough--in talking about this movie about movies, images, bodies--we talk about impossible body standards in media, the abuse of bodies by The Industry and warmongers, the enforcement of heteronormativity... which inevitably leads to tears.  

    Welcome to Fraser Fest!

  • Ep 3.31 - C.H.U.D. [Keith bday pick #4]
    Salutations!
    To finish off July, we bring you the final installment of Keith's bday month curations: C.H.U.D. (1984).
    Something fishy is happening under the streets of Manhattan. The wife of the chief of the 9th precinct has gone missing, homeless folks are not showing up at their regular soup kitchen, the Nuclear Regulator Commission is leaving behind ankle boots. 
    This movie has a lot of familiar faces, and is entrenched in the pop culture zeitgeist, but how many people have actually watched it?
    Along the way, we discuss John Goodman and Z enters the matrix and talks about l'algorithm
    Thanks for tuning in!
