Tuesday After Next

But if they do make a third one, it can't be about basketball, right? Right? In addition to trying to figure that out, this episode is full of other hot goss about the newest installment in what is turning out to be a very complicated and problematic legacy. Space Jam: A New Legacy is on HBO Max until August 16th, but it'll definitely go back on there at some point after the theatrical run. Here's a freebie: since we talk Animaniacs in this episode, the 1999 film Wakko's Wish is currently streaming on Hulu. Ian remembers liking it when he was, like, four. Content Warning: We talk about Pepe Le Pew (AKA "Tune Skunk") and lack of consent. We also briefly discuss racism in early animation.

If you're confused as to why we appear to be breaking from tradition and covering a comedy special, don't worry; whether or not this is a movie is one of many deliciously post-modern questions we tackle! If you need any more convincing, maybe it'll help to know that in addition to being released on Netflix Inside is also getting a theatrical release for one night only on July 22nd. Special guest appearance this week from our dog Chief and his devastating farts. Content Warning: We briefly mention the topic of self-harm in this special and the specials of Maria Bamford. Inside covers topics ranging from self-harm and mental illness (specifically depression, derealization, and self-loathing) to systemic oppression and environmental degradation. While there is no violence or harmful language, many of the topics are quite heavy and potentially triggering.

Full of spoilers. It's episodes like this when all pretense is forfeit and it becomes clear that our sole desire is to yell about anime. #couplegoals This movie is streaming on Funimation both subbed and dubbed, though if you watch the latter I fear for your soul. Do NOT rent it on Vudu for $15 like we did initially, because Vudu has this fun feature where you can't change the audio language so you'll be forced to watch it dubbed into English. Content Warning: A lot of stylized anime violence, mostly due to swords and stabbing. There is a lot of blood, death, and some images of bloody corpses of a family. A character is shown at the point of cutting off their own head with a sword multiple times in order to escape a dream state.

There's, like, ten whole weddings in this rom-com. Between the two of us I'm not sure we even know that many people in relationships. Still, Maya Erskine and Jack Quaid make for goofy fun in this bougie millennial romp. Complete with graveyard sex. Stick around to hear Temperance's pitch for her highly trademarked new romance movie, which she has dubbed Margo + Kate. This movie is available on Hulu, btdubs.

Dogs, mayhem, and madcap fashion crimes! I lied, the dogs are are all CG. The mayhem and fashion crimes are aight though. Facebook taught us that this whole movie is about devil worship or something. You can tune in to our spiritual awakening in this week's episode, all about Cruella! Content Warning: Someone falls off a cliff and the camera follows them part way down. Someone is kidnapped and left in a burning building. Disney tries to convince you it does right by the queer community.

See the full content warning after the episode. We watched four movies, but the twist is that we only finished two of them. So this week we're discussing Black Narcissus and Mädchen in Uniform (which we finished) alongside Hyenas and Two Days, One Night (which we did not). Ian had a master plan for his picks and it ran into a few obstacles. Listen and all shall be explained. Black Narcissus (1947) is on HBO Max. Mädchen in Uniform (1931) is free on YouTube with good captions and okay-enough image quality. Hyenas (1992) is on Kanopy with certain subscriptions. We rented Two Days, One Night (2014) from Vudu for three bucks. Content Warning: Black Narcissus has white actors playing three of the four main South Asian roles, which is deplorable. Some racist viewpoints from the characters and mild violence, including one death by falling. Mädchen in Uniform has a scene where a character is going to attempt self-harm by jumping, which does not happen. The half of Hyenas that we saw deals with poverty, and discusses forced castration and murder.

See the full content warning after the episode description. DIAMONDS ON MY WRIST SO HE CALL ME ICE CREAM. Man, what a banger. This week we talk about Fighting Type movies, specifically Mortal Kombat, Dragonball Evolution, and Kung Fu Hustle. Punch punch kick. We rented all three of these from Reel Hollywood Video in McMinnville, Oregon! Kung Fu Hustle is on Netflix. All three are available for rental on Vudu for the same price as on Amazon. So, you know. Content Warning: I'm not going to lie, I was asleep for 60-70% of Mortal Kombat. General stylized violence throughout all three of these movies, of course. In Kung Fu Hustle there is some homophobia and fatphobia.

See the full content warning after the episode description. Full disclosure: this week kicked our butts and we debated not even recording an episode. The good news is that we did it and had a lot of fun with it. Thank you guys for continuing to listen in every week. Ian picked this week, and his theme for his three films was "sports movies I'd actually want to watch." We talk a lot about commodification of athletes, but also about how much we like Jonah Hill. There's truly something for everyone here. High Flying Bird is only available on Netflix. We rented Whip It and Moneyball from Reel Hollywood Video in McMinnville, OR. They're probably streaming somewhere, but rent them from a local shop if you can! Content Warning: Again, keeping track of content across three films is tough. I feel fairly confident saying that there aren't major triggers in High Flying Bird or Moneyball. Whip It has some violence, a little bit of blood here and there, and gaslighting.

See the full content warning after the episode description. Yeah, this one's a little late. We spent all our energy talking about sharks and then fell asleep, like how an eight year old might. Still, this Wednesday morning we are very excited to present Temperance's first triple pick: Deep Blue Sea x The Shallows x The Meg! Neither of us can stand the thought of sharks, but we very much like shark movies. And also LL Cool J and Blake Lively. Be sure to keep your eyes on our Insta for a chance to enter our latest giveaway and determine our fateful three films for the last Tuesday of March! We rented all three of these from Reel Hollywood Video! If you don't have an awesome video rental store in your neck of the woods, I think you can rent all three of these on Vudu for something like four bucks each. Content Warning: I'll be honest, I didn't think about having to do a content warning for three separate films. I recommend using the IMDb Parents' Guide to check each individual film. The general idea is that sharks eat a lot of people, and there is gratuitous blood and dismemberment. Also each one of these films features violence against animals, which we discuss during the episode because it's such a problematic element of the shark movie genre.

See the full content warning after the episode description. We haven’t gotten this meta since The Beaver Trilogy! For our last movie this month Ian picked the 1996 film The Watermelon Woman, which was written and directed by Cheryl Dunye (who also stars!). In this episode Ian goes off yet again about why you should watch De Cierta Manera and Temperance spills the tea on Boy Sleepovers. We got a seven day free trial for Showtime in order to watch this on Hulu. Hopefully we remember to cancel that before we get billed. It’s also available on Kanopy and Amazon. Also there are five Tuesdays in March, which means it's time for a giveaway! Content Warning: There’s nothing too heavy in this episode, but The Watermelon Woman is in part an exploration of the historical erasure of Black and Queer identities in film and we discuss that at length.

See the full content warning after the episode description. You can tell from the first ten minutes of this episode that even though we're all-in on Black History Month we still also want to talk about monster movies. Once we get it out of our system, though, we turn our nerdy gazes to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. We both loved rewatching this gorgeous movie so we could talk about it with y'all. We own this on Blu-ray, but it's also streaming from the usual suspects. It's available to rent on Vudu for three or four bucks. Content Warning: Some violence. Kingpin is seriously scary.

See the full content warning after the episode description. *clinkety-clink* What's that? It's Temperance's cocktail! *squeakety-squeak* And that? Ian's chair! What cute little touches that were definitely intentional and not just impossible to edit out. Ian went classic and spooky with Son of Ingagi, an early horror film featuring cryptic messages, hidden passages, ape-man, and the music of The Toppers. Unfortunately it was still slightly too spooky for Temperance. Oh nooooo! This is free on Amazon Prime with a subscription, but a couple of different users have uploaded the full thing to YouTube for free so just watch it there. It's like an hour and ten minutes so check it out and let us know what you think! Content Warning: Temperance talks about her scary dreams, where murder is an occasional occurrence. A few people do also get gently murdered in this movie, and a character is locked in the basement of a burning house. There are some racist undertones to the premise.

See the full content warning after the episode description. This month we are going to discuss how annoying it is that Black stories only get prioritized by streaming algorithms during February. Simultaneously we will be prioritizing Black stories during February. Contradictory? Maybe, but you knooooow we gonna dissect it. We kicked things off with Dope, which was Temperance's pick. Ian talks about Edgar Wright and musicality for a little bit, and Temperance points out how tropes like "getting the girl" can partially undo otherwise confident movies. Ian's cat, Leroi, guest stars by screaming in the background. This is on Amazon, but you can also get it from Vudu for the same price so just do that. Also, don't forget to check your local video rental store! Content Warning: There is some violence in this movie. A man is shot during a robbery, another guy accidentally shoots himself in the leg. There is a lot of imagery related to drug use. We talk about gun violence, and Temperance describes a movie scene where a child accidentally shoots themselves and another child is blamed for it.

See the full content warning after the episode description. Hey y'all. We rounded out this turbulent January with the documentary Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, which was Ian's final pick. It was and is SO GOOD. We talk about counterculture movements, sexuality, and Godzilla. We learn about Woodstock? More important than all of this, we came away from the past few weeks with a deeper understanding of what documentaries can do, as well as how they create a whole host of sociocultural tangles. Hopefully you guys dug it. Stay tuned for next month's theme/preoccupation! Crip Camp is streaming on Netflix, I think exclusively. Content Warning: There are a lot of ableist slurs in this documentary, which happens when you have a bunch of reporters covering disability rights activists. There's also a very difficult sequence showing the rampant abuses inside an institution known as Willowbrook where disabled individuals (including children) were imprisoned and all but left to rot.

See the full content warning after the episode description. Hi y'all. You may have noticed that it is WEDNESday, which is a little off-brand for us. Listen to this episode to hear why we're a day late posting our episode on Temperance's second documentary pick, Baraka. We also discuss whether or not its possible for something to be non-narrative and the complicated nature of a documentary that explores so so many different cultures. And we FINALLY talk about The Hobbit movies, which is possibly the most divisive subject that exists in our relationship. THIS IS FREE ON YOUTUBE. The quality doesn't look half bad, either. It's also free with Amazon Prime and you can get it on iTunes and stuff. There's a film on Kanopy called Baraka, but its unrelated. Content Warning: This is possibly the most content-warning heavy movie we've watched yet. While we don't discuss any of these things, this documentary features footage shot at a concentration camp, intensely unpleasant scenes of factory farming that border on violent, and a funeral cremation where human remains are prominently visible. Maybe check the Parents' Guide on IMDb because we may have missed something.

Ian spent all of two seconds on Google when it came to choosing A Normal Life: Chronicle of a Sumo Wrestler. Time well spent, as you might be able to gather from the convo that he and Temperance have about BLM, the intimacy of the filmic gaze, toxic masculinity, and gay sumo subculture. Temperance also gets revenge on Ian for calling out her Fruit Snack addiction last episode by hitting record while he was munching on a Klondike bar. It's time you know that we're very much into snacks. We could only find this one on Amazon. It's one of the rare cases when we both recommend renting it from Evil Corp because the doc is that interesting.

The one-act play that Temperance wrote and directed, A Poem Play, premieres online on January 8th! Temperance is part of a panel of directors participating in a live online Q+A before the event. You can find all the info by clicking HERE. I don’t know what was in the air this week, but there is some SALTY language in this episode. It sounds like Ian is holding onto a lot of repressed dragon betrayal. It’s our first week of documentaries and Temperance picked the 2016 film Life, Animated. If this episode is anything to judge by, you’re in for some good conversations and a wild ride this month. Special guest appearance by Seal Man. We watched this on Hulu with a basic subscription. It’s also freeeeee on Tubi and Vudu.

See the full content warning after the episode description. livianeutronbomb won the Jingle Jangle Jiveaway, and she chose the movie Strictly Ballroom! It gave us the opportunity to talk at length about dance movies, as well as the ways in which dance has touched our own lives. Temperance once tried tap dancing, and Ian took a couple of Bollywood aerobics classes at a gym. You'll want to write all this down for Trivia Night. We watched this on Amazon Prime like RUBES. Content Warning: Not much this episode. Basically, one character uses a homophobic word.

See full content warning after the episode description. The episode is a little late, but it's also Christmas week so all bet's are off! If either of us wear anything but pajamas before the 27th that'll be your yuletide miracle. Big stuff this episode. As you're doubtless aware, we're announcing the winner of the Jingle Jangle Jiveaway this week! Temperance springboards off Ian's pick (It's a Wonderful Life) in order to get to real juicy convos. Meanwhile Ian's over here trying to unmask the biggest heist of Jimmy Stewart's career. Next week we'll bring you the film selected by our winner, as well as an idea of what January will look like! Ian's dad owns this movie on Bluray, but you can rent it from basically anywhere. Content Warning: Part of the film addresses the protagonist's attempt at suicide by jumping off of a bridge. At one point a man hits a boy in the head, causing his ear to bleed. Also, Ian says "fruity" to mean "stuffy and pretentious" and it's cringey, so apologies for that.

See full the content warning after the description. THE JINGLE JANGLE JIVEAWAY IS ALMOST OVER. Y'all best be slapping that like button, canoodling with the comments, and seductively tagging all of your friends in our posts. You want that t-shirt, right? How 'bout the snack pack? How about the chance to hear our thoughts on a movie of your choosin'??? In the meantime enjoy our take on Temperance's pick, Tokyo Godfathers. Ian proclaims this the Christmasiest Christmas Movie of the season and Temperance talks more about her personal history with film. Certainly this is us in our thoughtful mode after last week's debauch. We checked out this movie from Reel Hollywood Video in McMinnville, Oregon. It's streaming from the rogues gallery of Amazon et al. Content Warning (Contains Spoilers): This movie has multiple emotional scenes dealing with loss, addiction, and violence. Some moments border on graphic. A houseless man is beaten by teenagers. A woman twice attempts to commit suicide by jumping from a high spot. A man is shot in the chest. Some blood throughout. There is also homophobic and transphobic language.

Jingle All the Way is as old as we are, but dare I say we've aged much better. This week Temperance and Ian dive headfirst into what it means to make a Christmas movie. We get both nittier and grittier than we did with our previous Jingle. If I recall correctly we also spend a lot of time on a hypothetical fight between Booster from this movie and Hugo Fitch from Dead of Night. You literally cannot get this exact content anywhere else. This episode is brought to you by Reel Hollywood Video. You can rent it from the usual places. It's on Sling and Hulu, both with premium subscriptions. In case you've been wondering, our intro and outro music is from the song Thursday, off of Takénobu's album Introduction. We highly recommend you give it a listen.

No content warning this episode! That being said, we do issue our first formal apology for previously using a term we did not realize had derogatory connotations. You can read more about the term and its harmful origins by clicking HERE. Hi all. Welcome to the holiday season. We'll be your cool Winter Formal chaperones, so don't drink the punch; it's spiked with hot takes. Temperance chose Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey for her first holiday pick, and our biggest takeaway from this movie is that you can market an evil child-soul-devouring robot to the world as long as it's cute. Stay tuned during this episode for the details of how to participate in our first big event as a podcast! Jingular Jangular was distributed by Netflix, so there you go. Also if there are any David Talbert fans out there let's talk about why he only makes Christmas movies.

See full content warning after the description. Heeeeeeey y'all. We wrapped up our month-long quest to define what makes a movie satisfying with the 2019 film The Personal History of David Copperfield. Temperance eats a lot of Tootsie Rolls this ep, and Ian tries to point out racism and ends up being somewhat racist in the process. All in all we wouldn't call it a win but it makes for funny listening. Also, we talk so much about Fast & Furious (2009) that you're basically getting a whole secret bonus episode folded into the dough. You're welcome. *blows kiss* This movie hasn't been released on DVD or Bluray yet in the U.S., but you can rent it on Vudu for six bucks. Stay tuned next month for a whole bunch of holiday festivities! Content Warning: Pretty tame this week. One character threatens self-harm in a way that is theatrical and not intended to be believed. Another character essentially commits suicide by drowning.

See full content warning after the episode; this CW contains spoilers. Temperance's last satisfying pick was The Darjeeling Limited (2007), which is both a beautiful and heartfelt movie about three brothers coming together while processing the dissolution of their family and also a wacky train movie featuring a man-eating tiger. Upon reflection, there's actually a lot of physical comedy in this movie. Does Wes Anderson make slapstick comedies??? This movie is available to rent digitally on Vudu and YouTube. It's always weird when you have to resort to watching a movie on YouTube, isn't it? Not that we're strangers to it; it's hard to find 700 Days of Battle: Us vs. the Police anywhere else in the U.S. Content Warning (Contains Spoilers): Ian and Temperance briefly discuss a play wherein a woman is sexually assaulted, though obviously we do not go into explicit detail. In the movie, a boy dies by drowning. One character also briefly mentions having attempted suicide, or at least serious self-harm. Also if parental abandonment dredges up anything for you, then heads up.

See full content warning for the episode after the description. In our search for movies that provide a sense of satisfaction, Ian journeyed through the foggy halls of his memory and dug up the 2013 movie Enough Said. He and Temperance got a hearty discussion out of it, despite it being somewhat out of character for Ian's taste. We also talk about formative moments from our pasts, like Temperance's elephant keychain and Ian's Entertainment Weekly addiction. Stay tuned for two more satisfactory picks this month! Streaming from the usual suspects (Amazon, Vudu, YouTube). Also, check your local video rental store! We got our copy from Reel Hollywood Video in McMinnville. Content Warning: Pretty chill this episode, but watch out for some misogynistic language used in the movie that we briefly discuss. Some fatphobia and body-shaming within the movie itself.

See full content warning after description. We recorded this episode in a blanket fort! It didn't make a difference, aurally, but we feel that it's an important production note. Temperance chose our first film this month, and the theme is satisfaction. What do we look for in a movie that leaves us feeling nourished? Intellectually, dare we say spiritually, satisfied? Apparently, an epic fart joke starring Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe meets Temperance's criteria. That's right, it's Swiss Army Man! This movie is available on Netflix, Kanopy, Prime, and Vudu. Content Warning: While there is little that could be described as violence in this film, the central "friendship with a corpse" conceit might be unpleasant for some. The film also contains imagery related to self-harm and suicide and ableist language.

See content warning for this episode after the description. WHOA IT'S OUR SHORTEST EPISODE. We hit forty-five minutes originally, but three of those minutes were lost to Ian chasing his cat away and the other two were made up of the usual weird mouth noises that we edit out every week. This time around we watched Blade, then spent half the episode talking about Ghost Rider anyway. Except for the first five minutes, when Temperance tried to rebrand us as a Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir fancast. Farewell Spooky Picks, and into the great unknown of our first November! Content Warning: Blade is a violent film, in the typical 1990s action style, so there's a lot of stabbing, shooting, torture, and actually very little blood. Except for the blood sprinklers at the beginning. Also, a vampire is lit on fire, and he later runs around while still severely burned. Some fatphobic content.

Disclaimer: The sound quality for this episode is butts. We're not 100% sure why; we're in the same room and using the same microphone as always and we weren't even jostling too much. We'll try to get a lock on it because it seems like we'll be doing this podcast thing for a while. We finally achieved relevance this week with Temperance's pick! In a long overdue move, we watched a new-release movie. The downside is that the movie was Hubie Halloween, the newest slimy nestling in Adam Sandler's marsupial film-pouch. Still, we shared some laughs and some strongly-worded criticisms. Also, Ian makes an eerily good - and completely unintentional - pitch for a sequel. Leroi, the Humpiest Cat in the World, guest stars.

See the full content warning for this episode after the description. We know, we know… it sounds like the microphone is being devoured by termites for this whole episode. We weren’t even shifting that much! Maybe it was the spookiness of Dead of Night, Ian’s first Halloween pick, that was making us quake in our boots. Whatever the case, we talk at length this week about cyclical story structures and why we both love them (Ian) and can’t stand them (Temperance). Oh, and a haunted ventriloquist dummy! Content Warning: This movie contains references to violent murders and suicide. There is also a frank depiction of suicide by drowning. During the discussion of spooky occurrences, Temperance and Ian also talk briefly about violence against goats.

See the full content warning for this film after the description. The only time we're not whispering in this episode is when we're making slurping noises at you. It was a late night of podcasting when we viewed Temperance's first Spooky Pick, James and the Giant Peach, so our sleepy mumbles are the price of delivering fresh and organic content to our nine listeners. Stay tuned next week for another Spooky Pick, this time from Ian! Jeff and the Giant Peach is available from Disney+, or you can rent it from the Bezos Dominion for four bucks. Content Warning: This films contains images related to child neglect and also makes references to child physical abuse.

In the 2018 film Sometimes Always Never, Bill Nighy plays a tailor who's super into Scrabble. Is really there anything else you need to know? Ian chose this 'un spur of the moment after his initial pick flopped, and both he and Temperance were pleasantly surprised. Take an hour and a half to go on a breezily loquacious jaunt through a crafty story about family relationships, loss, and nice clothes. The Wes Anderson vibes are just the cherry on top. Be sure to join us next week for our first of four Halloween-themed flicks! You can rent this movie from Amazon Prime or YouTube for a few bucks. Also remember to check your local video rental store!

Temperance's choice this week was the 1997 TV musical film Rodgers' and Hammerstein's Cinderella, starring Brandy. Aside from the fact that basically every good actor is in this movie, it's worth watching because Temperance uses it as a compelling case for the power of casting People of Color in roles often reserved for white actors. Ian will also happily tell you that the colorblind casting in Cinderella basically changed how he watches movies. Plus it's our first musical for the show. Whether you love or hate musicals, they make for good convos. A shameless plug here: given that we talk at length about the lack of diversity in classic art and fantasy period pieces, it's baffling that we forgot to mention the YouTube series Black Girl in a Big Dress. It's hilarious and we both love it. Go check it out and give her lots of money so she'll make more.

See content warning for this episode after the description. No, Ian wasn't high on semuta while recording this episode; he and Temperance just finished watching his pick - the 1984 film Dune - and it sapped the life out of him. Look to Temperance for all the wisecracks and clever insights as she claps back at the 99.9% white cast and muses on the nature of film adaptations generally. Her summaries of the movie honestly make it sound better than it is. Temperance and Ian can both agree, though, that heart plugs are the big takeaway here. Dune (1984) is streaming on Hulu with the HBO add-on, and is also available to rent from Prime Video, Vudu, and YouTube. Content Warning: The scene that introduces the Baron Harkonnen contains grotesque violence. Additionally, several characters appear mutilated. This scene also associates violent depravity with homosexuality, a theme drawn from the novel itself.

Can you, like, hear those crickets in the background? We had to edit each chirp in by hand for an extra-cozy effect. You're welcome. Temperance picked The Proud Family Movie this week, so set sail for a tropical island full of peanuts and ostentatiously well-animated dance sequences. Meanwhile, Ian kept going on about Filmore. It seems that Orlando Brown is the secret shadowy figure behind this podcast. No content warning this week. Check out The Proud Family Movie on Disney+ and Prime Video.

Starting this week, content warnings will be posted when necessary for each movie. Find the full content warning below. We will also be doing our best from here on out to include options for accessing the film in the description. The siren song of sad, weird indie films lured Ian in and he made good on his threat to choose the 2001ish film The Beaver Trilogy for this week's movie. We ended up talking about some pretty heavy stuff, but also McLovin', Xanadu, and How to Be a Latin Lover. Still, if you like debates about the responsibility of the film-maker to the subject then this is the episode for you. This movie is exclusively available for physical purchase from the director's website, www.echocave.net. Unless you know Ian, in which case he'll lend it to you. Content Warning: The Beaver Trilogy contains intense imagery related to self-harm and suicide, though no self-harm occurs in the film. There are also homophobic attitudes expressed by unsympathetic characters. We talk at length about the use of violent acts by film-makers and whether or not it's appropriate. In doing so we discuss self-harm and briefly mention sexual assault.

We're six episodes in, so it's time for some dramatic backstory. This week, Temperance picked the excellent 2012 film Wolf Children and it set off a deep dive into her weeb origins. Incidentally, Ian did a great job of not getting caught up on werewolf mechanics like he normally does. We're literally about to go camping so forgive the significant lack of editing; we know you've come to expect perfection.

Ian picked this week, and you can tell that he's having a hard time staying away from horror films. He chose the 1932 mad science extravaganza Doctor X because he thought it would be tame. Joke's on him: it's pre-code, so it features cannibalism, sadism, hearts in jars, moonbeams, more cannibalism, an elusive gay sextangle, and a plucky journalist who gets smoked out in a room full of skeletons. Something worked, because Temperance liked it. Also, we talk about Jeff Goldblum again.

The year is 2003; the movie is Eddie's Million Dollar Cook-Off. Ian had never seen a Disney Channel Original Movie in his life, so this is definitely Temperance's pick. Fun fact: this movie is actually about Bridget Simons, and if you're not comfortable with that you can jog on. We also get into gender roles, problematic armchair critiques, and Emeril Lagasse. BAM.

We be real sleepy in this particular episode, which is all about the 2002 silent ballet horror film Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary. It's Ian's first pick on the show. It gets the conversation flowing around such topics as women's bodily autonomy, xenophobia, and some real interesting bits where we talk about the complex relationship between stage productions and silent films. Also, we tease the wrong movie for next week's episode. Come get unclean with us you lusty vampire babes.

This, our first episode, was Temperance's pick! She chose The Ramen Girl, a 2008 film and a masterpiece of cultural appropriation. Neither of us knew a thing about it going in so you can't blame us too much. Listen as we reel from the late Brittany Murphy's culinary outing in a poor, unsuspecting, and utterly wasted Tokyo. Also, we were sleepy and there are fireworks going off in the background.

Get ready to slurp up your new favorite film podcast, starring Temperance and Ian. We'll be watching a different film each week in order to serve up a steaming scoop for our public. Before we can bring you any hot takes on classic and contemporary movies we have to bring you hot takes on ourselves. In this charming introductory episode you'll find names, dates, incriminating info, and our modus operandi going forward.
