!ARTIST REVEAL! This episode is a wonderful journey into Jurassic World (2015) with the creator of the new Bring Your Own Popcorn logo: Milk Surface! This interview was recorded in March before the Slap heard 'round the world destroyed Hollywood (fingers crossed). Mixtape thought she would finish editing this episode before midnight on March 31st but she played herself for an April fool. In this ep, Milk and Mixtape talk about friendship, love, respect, empathy, and identity crises -- all the things that you associate with dinosaurs. Non-stop hot pops!

You probably already guessed it based on the episode title, but this one is about Solaris! The 2002 version. Featuring wonderful guest, LA-based esthetician Paige Fetter. Content Note: This is the episode about depression and it is depressing, smiley face! :) But as veterans of Team Depression, Paige and Mixtape still keep the laughter going as they discuss queer awakenings, not being a size 00 in the 90's, and what happens when a Manic Pixie Dream Girl develops self-awareness.

We're bringing the end of 2021 to a close with The NeverEnding Story, which feels like an aptly titled watch during the endless pandemic of 2019, am I right?! This episode features possibly the first mention of Mixtape's real name, and is being released on her birthday, so you can stalk her pretty good now. Heather's birthday is just two days after Mixtape's, so the Capricorn energy on this episode is off the charts, whatever that means. Something about goats, and popcorn. For sure. Heather and Mixtape talk about Titanic, Metropolis, what Nothing means, and is The NeverEnding Story a trans allegory? Listen to agree! And remember -- TERF wolves are not welcome here.  MUSIC: Adult Problems by Richard and the Julians Copyright Richard and the Julians 2015; Popcorn Frog by MC Chris Copyright mc chris llc 2013.

Greetings, creamy corn niblets! It is here: The annual droppings. A single episode. You know what, there just might be another one this year. Who knows what the future holds? No, seriously. Does anyone know? It might be good to know some of this shit in advance. I have a gift for you, dear cobs: this episode is 100 percent certified COVID-19 FREE. That's right. This was recorded before we knew what was happening, in the Before Times. Pre-Quar. In advance of the Great Isolation. This recorded discussion contains zero mentions of coronavirus, quarantine, or Tiger King. I could've added a little intro on it, but I didn't; I wanted to keep it pure for you. This is a safe space. Did we wash our hands carefully after we used Catbox Studios' screaming toilet? Sure, but it wasn't for fear of death, unlike now, and forever after. In this sweet, innocent little time capsule of an episode, Mixtape Majesty and bio-informatics scientist and educator, Hannah Lyman, lovingly tear apart the 1995 coming-of-age film, Now and Then. WHY? You'll have to listen. -- SPECIAL THANKS: Catbox Studios and Ovacord for manning the recording and support station! MUSIC: Adult Problems by Richard and the Julians Copyright Richard and the Julians 2015; Popcorn Frog by MC Chris Copyright mc chris llc 2013

Welcome to 2017! This episode with conversationalist, occasional wine-sipper, and movie-goer Joey Rodriguez was recorded December '16, but then Mixtape had to dodge the chaotic debris of holiday explosions reigning down everywhere and didn't get it edited until now. It's fun, you're fun, we're fun, Marvel's Dr. Strange, Howard the Duck, Monster Squad, Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love, audio charades; join us or die. Just kidding, 2016 is over. Enjoy!

And we're back! Just like cartoon dinosaurs! Today's guest, Bribbzababble Badonkadonk, otherwise know as Barbi Beegs, and I recorded this episode sans peen, without any manhelp, or help of any kind really. We're independent women and we wanna sing about it. We don't though. Other things happen, and we talk about like, at least fifteen different movies, and wrap up with some Audio CHARADES. You remember that old chestnut. This is a pretty goofy episode. Please enjoy and I'll see you next time, space cowboy.  Adult Problems by Richard and the Julians copyright Richard and the Julians 2015- Popcorn Frog by MC Chris Copyright mc chris llc 2013 - Baman Piderman copyright Mondo Media Alex Butera Lindsay Small 2009
