G and T with Greta and Taylor is a podcast from current friends and former co-workers Greta and Taylor! We like Gin and Tonics. We like movies. So we drink Gin and Tonics and talk about movies. Join us on our quest to find a double feature of movies that pair as well as Gin and Tonic!
Titanic (1997) and Sense and Sensiblity (1995) Apologies for Taylor's janky audio qualityon this one. It will be fixed in future episodes.

The Secret of Kells (2009) and Wolfwalkers (2020) We had a weird time at Poor Things, and decided to pivot from talking about Yorgos Lanthimos, as previously announced. We're glad we did, cause these Tomm Moore movie absolutely rule.

We're talking director Rian Johnson this week, possibly our favorite of the recent string of directors to make the leap from small, personal Indies to major studio IP.

Two movies that could literally not have LESS in common take center stage on this week's episode!

Join us next time for Withnail & I and Can You Ever Forgive Me. We are on both twitter and Instagram!
Who am I? Who are you? These are questions grappled with in movies about mistaken identity, I suppose. How do these two comedies compare? Is the fact that they're comedies enough to make it a great pairing? Greta and Taylor will debate the highs and lows of Bill Murrays career, and hold up their favorite Pythons. Join us next time for a Don Bluth double feature of An American Tail (1986) and Rock-A-Doodle (1991). Twitter! Instagram! These are both things!

We're back! After an unplanned late summer hiatus due to none of your damn business, G&T have returned with our long promised David Lynch episode. Greta has a take that Dennis Hopper is BAD in Blue Velvet. Taylor does a PITIFUL impression of Mulholland Dr.'s Cowboy character.

This week, things get Muppet-y without any official Muppet content to discuss. We're going deep on the craft, the spirit, and the fantasy weirdness of the gone-too-soon Jim Henson. We'll talk David Bowie, the modern dependence on CGI, and what classic work of literature we'd like to see the Muppets take on next. Join us next time for Basic Instinct (1992) and Casino (1995). Twitter and Instagram are things on which you can follow us.
Sometimes you just need to talk about other stuff. Yes, we're still on for Labyrinth & Dark Crystal. Next week. Twitter and Instagram are things!
This week, Greta opens the show by promising to be totally insufferable as we discuss two Kovach family favorites. Taylor gives her a run for her money in that department. We talk Adam Schlesinger, cultural appropriation, childhood caterpillars, and so much more on a particularly punchy episode. Join us next time for The Dark Crystal (1982) and Labyrinth (1986) We do instagram and twitter!
This week, we talk the handsome fellow that is Sidney Poitier. Taylor talks about a movie that concerns escaped convicts in the Deep South, compares it to the Odyssey, and somehow doesn't mention "O Brother Where Art Thou." He feels dumb for not thinking of it, but also proud of himself for not bringing it up because that movie is not good. Are THESE two Sidney Poitier movies good? Find out by listening! Join us in two weeks for "That Thing You Do!" (1996) & "The Commitments" (1991). We do instagram and twitter.
We're off to France with Agnes Varda. Does she embody the bad clichés of the French New Wave? Will Greta and Taylor argue of which of these two movies is better? Will their rhythms be slightly off this week for reasons neither of them can explain? All this AND MORE! Join us next time for In The Heat Of The Night (1967) and The Defiant Ones (1958) We do Instagram and Twitter join us
This week, we throw on our tap shoes, movement clothing, and break out the vocal exercises to talk musicals! Specifically, we're talking movie musicals that are remakes of movies that weren't musicals to begin with. Will Taylor be able to justify his dislike for Ellen Greene's performance in Little Shop of Horrors? Will Greta go with her head or her heart when it comes to which version of Hairspray she likes better? 60s pastiche, corny costumes, and stories about Taylor's 8th grade school musical and MORE! Join us next time for One Sings, The Other Doesn't (1977) and Vagabond (1985) We're on Instagram and Twitter, too.
The actor with the shortest filmography we've covered leaves us no shortage of things to talk about. Spoiler alert: we LOVE Mark Rylance. But the real question of this episode is: how much do we HATE gamer bros? Bonus question: will Taylor shout "Stoykiy muzhik" more times or less times than he sings "Midnight at the Oasis?" All this and MORE on this week's G&T! We're on Twitter! We're on Instagram! Join us next time for Hairspray (1989/2007) and Little Shop of Horrors (1959/1986)
