Four queers discuss movies on a bi-weekly basis...with a twist! Each episode, one of them must pick out a movie that is connected to the previous movie by either cast or crew.

The List So Far...

They're podcasters! Mooooooooooooovie podcasters!!! This week, Bri woke up and chose chaos, having the
rest of the girls watch 2001's Freddy Got Fingered; spearheaded by Tom Green, the film serves as a metaphor
for how film studios will unwittingly throw away millions of dollars on the hot new thing, without realizing
why exactly people like said hot new thing. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss the Schick
Hydrobot, Lego depictions of national tragedies, and the morality of shock humor.

Yo, homie, is that my podcast? On this episode, Jae is making the rest of the girls hop from one neo-noir
film to another as they discuss Michael Mann's Collateral. Although it was easily Mann's most successful
movie financially at the time, Collateral seemed to be an entry in his filmography stuck in the shadow
of giants; thankfully, this thrilling character study about a taxi driver unwillingly taking an assassin
from hit to hit over the course of a single night has cemented itself over the last two decades as a classic.
Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss jazz, nihilism (derogatory), and the atomizing impact
of cars on modern society.

God bless you, podcast listener! This October, the girls decided to celebrate the Halloween season
by talking about the scariest topic of all: America's War on Drugs. That's right, per EV's
connection, this episode they're discussing Bill Duke's underrated neo-noir film, Deep Cover, starring
Lawrence Fishburne and Dark Jeff Goldblum. Although it's a fascinating exploration of the futility of
those operations in the face of a deeply obfuscated and ever-evolving geopolitical landscape, this film
firstly manages to be a slick and enthralling thriller like no other. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as
they discuss barbecue jumbo shrimp, the ethics of boning down The Oncler, and double consciousness.


It took eleven episodes, but the girls have finally arrived in The Cage Zone. That's right, this time
around, Bridget selected the 2018 Nicolas Cage vehicle, Mandy, directed by Panos Cosmatos. An atmospheric,
hallucinogenic-addled revenge flick, Mandy juggles a variety of tones to craft an ethereal experience
difficult to capture in a short podcast blurb. Frankly, it's difficult to capture in an audio discussion
as well, but damnit are the girls gonna try! Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss chainsaw
fights, coping with severe emotional damage, and whether or not Nicolas Cage is an experienced smelter.


Is the podcast over? No, of course not, the girls have only been going at it for nine episodes and this
time around they'll be discussing Bri's new pick, The Triplets of Belleville. This French animated film
from the early 00s left quite the impression upon first release and the gang is on a quest to discover
whether this narrative about dedication has withstood the test of time, especially in a vastly different
animation landscape. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss casual fatphobia, the inevitability
of failure, and whether or not one must imagine Sisyphus happy.


The girls may love movies, but can they spot the wolves in this picture? Considering Jae assigned them
Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, they're gonna have their work cut out for them; a true crime
story centered around the conspiratorial series of murders targeting the Osage community, Killers hides
it's evils in all shapes and forms. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss complicity, moral
cowardice, and a listener's subconscious desire to marry Mike Meyers.


If it bleeds, the girls can make a podcast about it. This time around, EV had the group watch Prey (2022),
the prequel/soft-reboot of the Predator franchise. Little did they know, they were going to watch the best
video game movie ever made. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss Elden Ring builds, sucker-punching
bears, and the creative bankruptcy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.


The girls wanna go to dog heaven, but, unfortunately, Bridget had different plans for them. This episode,
the girls take a dive into what is widely considered one of the largest production disasters in the history
of Hollywood, 1996's The Island of Dr. Moreau; Sadly, the film itself is nowhere near as entertaining as
the the horror stories that have been told about working on its set. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as
they discuss Marlon Brando making the best creative decisions, the inherent biases baked into all art,
and the dubious worldviews of late 19th / early 20th century genre authors.


The girls may love Rocky Road, but do they love the illustrious career of Weird Al Yankovic? We're going
to find out this week, as Bri assigned the girls the 2022 parody music biopic, Weird: The Al Yankovic
Story; this Funny or Die / Roku co-production has the heavy task of expanding a single 3-minute sketch
into a feature-length film and the girls are stuck figuring out whether it manages to succeed in said
task. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss armchair joke-writing, the state of comedy in the
1980s, and the tragic loss of discovering movies on basic cable.


After fighting through the trials and tribulations of war, the girls start the cycle anew with some much
needed therapy. For this session, Jae has tasked the group with the 1997 film, Good Will Hunting; a
breakthrough hit for then up-and-coming actor/writer team, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, the crass Boston
Boys show our hosts just how wicked smaht they truly are. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss
maladaptive coping mechanisms, the legacy of Robin Williams, and also Kevin Smith, for some reason.


As the girls reach the end of their first loop through the queue, they learn that war is hell. This time,
they're tasked with watching Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan, which poses the question: "What if
war is just a bunch of meaningless death and chaos?" Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss
360-noscoping Hitler, throwing pies, and the catch-22 of trying to make an anti-war movie while also
valorizing the bodies of power participating in war.


Third time was absolutely not the charm with this one, folks. Directed by acclaimed anime director Rintaro
and co-written by a member of the renowned manga collective CLAMP, X: 1999 is a film that manages to be one
of the most boring and baffling films ever made - at least according to 3 out of 4 podcasters. Join Bri,
Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss the idea of median anime, the cosmic absurdity of ranking systems,
and cartoon squelch noises.


Through hell or high water, the girls made it to episode two! They celebrate this momentous occasion by
watching what is, somehow, the most George Miller-ass George Miller movie he's ever directed: Babe: Pig
in the City. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss becoming naturalists, the difference between
pelicans and storks, and Jim Cummings.


It's our inaugural episode! Which means that Brianna, Bridget, EV, and Jae are gonna start off on the right
foot by stumbling their way through David Lynch's magnum opus, Mulholland Drive. Join them for discussions
of boomers, lesbians, and the vicious nature of the mechanisms that keep Hollywood running.
