We're back with another episode of Adaptation Good or Adaptation Bad?! Hayley had suggested two different books to cover for Pride and we decided to cover both! In this episode, we also discuss out thoughts on Robert Downey Jr. as Dr. Doom, Hayley's thoughts after finally seeing Longlegs, weirdly, the Love, Victor tv show, and largely how our opinions on this book and movie had really diminished with time. It happens, but it made for a fun episode!

Back with another episode of the podcast for Pride! This week, I wanted to look at my favorite genre, horror, and examine how its existed through queering, with one example being explicitly queer and the other an example of queer-coding. Both movies are favorites of mine and while one is beginning to receive respect, the other deserves more!If you want to submit a movie recommendation, please fill out this Google Form!And for 3 dollars a month, you can support the podcast on Patreon!

Time for the second episode of Pride! Although both of these films are new, Rachel Sennott have made such an impression on me with two wildly different films, that they felt perfect to have featured on this newest episode of the podcast with Shiva Baby and Bottoms!

Welcome everyone to the first episode of Pride for 2024! While only one of these films is queer, both were made by queer directors, both are favorites of mine, and obviously, while this is a heavier episode than typical for the podcast, I do think it was important to cover both movies. Please enjoy this episode, and stay tuned for the rest of the Pride episodes of the podcast as we transition episodes to being weekly (if I can release them on time)!If you want to submit a movie recommendation, please fill out this Google Form!And for 3 dollars a month, you can support the podcast on Patreon!

At the beginning of May, I got the opportunity to attend the 25th Maryland Film Festival after the festival being gone last year and I got to see some really amazing films that previously played at Sundance, SXSW, and Fantastic Fest, and some of them have release scheduled planned, have distribution, and some need to find a home so you can all watch them! *Apologies for the audio issue that happened with the intro and outro, not sure what happened there until I was editing!*If you want to submit a movie recommendation, please fill out this Google Form!And for 3 dollars a month, you can support the podcast on Patreon!

Welcome everyone to easily my favorite episode of the podcast so far, as I talk about one of the most formative films of my younger years and a film that profoundly changed my life by helping me dive into the work of one of my favorite directors. It was impossible to cut any of the audio speaking about my love of The Muppets, Jim Henson, Twin Peaks, or David Lynch!

Hello everyone, thank you for joining me for a more somber episode as we examine the life and death of Lydia Tár and one of her proudest contributions to the world of film, creating the score for the Monster Hunter movie, and talk about her mediocre, Oscar-bait, fear-mongering biopic, Tár.

We are back with the second Listener's Pick episode of the podcast! Thankfully, I had seen both of these films and was able to revisit them both in time for the podcast, and if you have ever wanted to hear me openly wonder if a film was extremely feminist or falling victim to the male gaze, question if Jack Nicholson could pull Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfieffer all at once with them all being fine with it, accidentally spend my entire time critiquing a film I actually really enjoy, before shifting into one of the heaviest films I have spoken about on the podcast and then making Julianne Moore the most talked actress on the podcast, then we've got an episode for you!

By far the quickest an episode has gone from recording to being uploaded, this is the Oscars recap episode. I speak in this episode about how I made some of my predictions, the predictable nature of the Oscars, if that will continue, the musical performances, the atrocity that is Jimmy Kimmel's standup routine, The Boy and the Heron, The Zone of Interest, and Lily Gladstone's sad loss.If you want to submit a movie recommendation, please fill out this Google Form!And for 3 dollars a month, you can support the podcast on Patreon!

What better time to listen to a Valentine's Day episode of the podcast then *checks notes* two weeks late and in March! But seriously, thank you all of course for the flexibility in this episode, this was the second go-around recording due to tech issues the first time and it came out wonderful! And of course, thank you to Hayley for joining us this episode and you can expect Hayley as a regular feature on the podcast starting in June. It was really challenging picking our three favorites, but these are all excellent films and I'd love to know what people think of the format shift for this episode! There is also an announcement about a new partnership taking places for Oscars season that is happening soon and an announcement about the two movies covered for the Listener's Pick episode that'll be out in March. It was announced as the next episode, but due to timing, it may be following a special reaction to the Oscars episode that I want to come out ASAP after next week!If you want to submit a movie recommendation, please fill out this Google Form!And for 3 dollars a month, you can support the podcast on Patreon!

Two of my favorites and also for a long time, two films only available through 360p copies on Youtube. I also give some extended thoughts on my time at the Virtual Sundance Festival, some of my favorite films, technical issues that plagued my experience, and then jumped into these two really amazing and under seen queer films! There is a balance between these two movies, one is extremely calm and introspective, and the other is intense and much of the conflict is external, and they make a really fantastic pairing that I hope you enjoy hearing me speak about!If you want to submit a movie recommendation, please fill out this Google Form!And for 3 dollars a month, you can support the podcast on Patreon!

This episode started largely as a meme, but I had lots of fun with it! It's cool to pay tribute to an actor who has deserved a lot more credit in his career through two films that sit in similar themes and are both sports films. I had many more hot takes about High School Musical than I was expecting, especially about the performances and the music. I really hope you all love this episode, because I loved making it!

Welcome everyone to the first episode of the podcast for the year and for this episode, I wanted to talk about the great work of one of the companies that has supported me the most in the previous year, A24! Overall, I recommend many of these films and I think I do a great job of giving a little bit of an idea for each, as well as ones I may not recommend as highly. I do want to note, I keep saying in this episode "I have no idea how long this will be in the edit" and surprise, this is the shortest episode.

Deeply apologize for the delay everyone, I have a cat who just recently had surgery and is now recovering. Even if you don't celebrate Christmas and even though it is after the fact, Spencer and Tangerine are lovely films for any time of the year.

Welcome back everyone! I accidentally picked two A24 films this week that are some of the most emotionally devastating films I could have covered for the podcast today, whoops! Both of these films are some of my favorites of all time and they are also unique because of their focus on the perspectives of children, a viewpoint that's often trivialized in scriptwriting and one that is rarely the focal point, especially in films centered towards adults. As always, there are light spoilers and I kept them lighter than usual for an episode, these two films are just so special that I don't want to enjoy anyone's experience watching them.

Welcome back everyone, this is easily my favorite episode that I have ever done for the podcast! To talk about two more recent films, one an upcoming awards season contender, another a film that deserved so much more credit during the last awards season. Decision To Leave is one of my favorite films of all time and it is shocking a film from a legend like Park Chan-wook is so underwatched and as Anatomy of a Fall gets more credit this awards season and due to its Gotham Awards wins at time of upload, watch it before the clout of an Oscars win affects your thoughts on it! Also, the hot take today is centered around the state of the modern studio film, a fantastic hot take for a fantastic episode!If you want to submit a movie recommendation or a hot take, please fill out this Google Form!And for 3 dollars a month, you can support the podcast on Patreon!

Welcome to the second of our two horror-themed episodes for Halloween (it's November now, but shhhhhh)! It's weird to have found two kaiju films both centered around the existence of a poor and disorganized government, but I am glad Shin Godzilla and The Host are those two films. Also, weird this is the second podcast episode I have done about a film called The Host. There are only minor spoilers for each film, the most being shared is me describing in near detail the first 10 minutes or so of The Host without much detail The hot take for this episode is about an beloved cult-anime film directed by two of the most talented sisters in the film industry as well, please enjoy this episode!*No clue what happened to the audio for this one, I really apologize everyone! I think my laptop fan was running a little hard because this recorded on a hot day, I hope this doesn't get in the way of your enjoyment of the episode*If you want to submit a movie recommendation or a hot take, please fill out this Google Form!And for 3 dollars a month, you can support the podcast on Patreon!

Welcome to the first of our two horror-themed episodes for Halloween! Body horror is my favorite subgenre of horror, my favorite genre of film, and I weirdly picked two body horror films where our protagonists bond with machines, and that was a big accident! My appreciation for both of these films grew with this watch, and although I gave only minor spoilers for both film, the abstract nature of both makes it truly difficult to spoil as so much is up to interpretation of the viewer. Also, our hot take involves a very beloved 2017 Best Picture-nominated film that I enjoy but do not love as much as everyone else. This was a fun episode to make, so I hope you all enjoy!If you want to submit a movie recommendation or a hot take, please fill out this Google Form!And for 3 dollars a month, you can support the podcast on Patreon!

I am so glad to be publishing our first episode of the podcast where I did an episode based off of a suggestion of the listeners, so thank you to Ethan for suggesting End of Evangelion and thank you to "boop squig" for suggesting Bodies Bodies Bodies, two films I greatly love, one being an A24 slasher and the other being an incredibly thematically dense and philosophical film that is a retelling of the last two episodes of a television show... don't worry, viewing End of Evangelion or the television show, Neon Genesis Evangelion, are not necessary for this episode, but definitely check them out after this episode! Hoping to do another listener's pick post-strike so that way more films can be spoken about. Also, "boop squig" also submitted a really fantastic hot take about two recently beloved mystery films.

Hi ya'll, I appreciate everyone's support during my temporary delay! After spending more hours researching audio drift in podcasts, we now have working video for the podcast on Patreon! I also recognize that none of the films spoken about in today's episode are widely accessible or available, and they are still very worthy of being spoken about. Those films are Taste of Mango, Rotting in the Sun, Hummingbirds, Another Body, La Gravite, The Sweet East, Carpet Cowboys, Dogleg, and Somewhere Quiet. There was also an opportunity for me to listen to a Q&A with Sam Pollard, editor of many films from Spike Lee! Please take a chance on this episode and please enjoy! And oh man, I also reveal the films for the listener's pick episode next week and I am very excited!Also, please enjoy 30 days of MUBI free, in order to see Rotting in the Sun.

Hi ya'll, welcome back to the podcast! Apologize for the slight delay today, but I am extremely excited to be talking about my favorite director of all-time, Satoshi Kon, and his four wonderful films, Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers, and Paprika. The format for this episode is a bit different and there is less of a requirement to have seen these films beforehand, but obviously, see them, they are amazing.

Hi ya'll, welcome to the first episode of the podcast! Thank you for your patience as I had to navigate several delays. And of course, one that I wanted to be especially conscientious of was supporting those on the picket line during the SAG-AFTRA/WGA strikes. During this time, the podcast is not covering any struck films that have been made by any companies picketed at this time. For now, I am excited to speak about one of my favorite sub-genres, Suburban Satires, and speak about two of my favorite films of all-time, Serial Mom and Greener Grass.
