Summer is coming to an end and we're headed back to school! “School of Rock” is a film that hardly needs an introduction – it's a wholesome story of a hard rock burnout played by Jack Black who impersonates his way into a substitute teaching gig and ends up teaching his students how to rock out, with some life lessons for both the students and teacher along the way. But you already know all of that! We'll be discussing the inspiration for the film, the writers of the tunes, and talking about the Broadway musical and Nickelodeon show as well.
Class is in session! This week on So Many Sequels, we're kicking off our Back to School series with Richard Linklater's 2003 comedy classic School of Rock. Jack Black's Dewey Finn might be a terrible substitute teacher, but he's a rock legend in the making, and the guys dive into why this role made him a leading man.We break down the movie's surprising box office success, its timeless soundtrack, and how casting real kids who could actually play their instruments elevated the story. Plus: the film's place in 2003 pop culture, Richard Linklater's career boost, and the heartwarming legacy of the cast 20 years later.Subscribe to So Many Sequels on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your favorite platform, and don't forget to leave us a rating and review.

Same stuff, different day, different episode. All that jazz and platitudes. Ahem...on this episode Chris and Neil go back to earlier this year finally reviewed A Minecraft Movie starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa. Also directed by Jared Hess(he directed Napoleon Dynamite). Then, after news, they talk The Naked Gun directed by The Lonely Island's Akiva Schaffer starring Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson and Paul Walter Hauser. Is A Minecraft Movie a game over for the future of the franchise? Did The Naked Gun makes them laugh their balls off? There is only one way to find out.

"Summer Surprise" continues with...what's this? Another witch movie?? That's right, but this one has a hell of a pedigree. A family dark-fantasy romp from Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, starring Jack Black and Cate Blanchett, and directed by...Eli Roth?? Huh. So how did the infamous filmmaker behind such extreme horror hits as Cabin Fever, Hostel, and Thanksgiving handle the opportunity to helm a more family-friendly adventure story based on the first book in a popular series of children's novels? Was this still an effective match for his twisted sensibilities, or a defective marriage of contrasting styles? Can Jack Black's unique charisma keep this clock ticking? How does it compare to the Goosebumps films of the same era, also starring Black? Is there such a thing as too many poop jokes? We discuss all this, and more!

This episode centers on a full fan and panelist breakdown of the Back to the Beginning tribute concert — the final show for Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne. The panel (Victor, Brad, and Jeremy) reviews performances, band lineups, vocal quality, setlists, and surprises from the event.Major topics covered:
Send us a textStepping into the pixelated world of Minecraft proves to be a blocky disaster as we break down everything wrong with Hollywood's latest video game adaptation. Jack Black brings his signature energy as Steve, but rather than feeling authentic, his performance comes across as a greatest hits compilation played in the wrong venue – a Jack Black impersonator rather than the real deal. Meanwhile, Jason Momoa provides some genuine comedic moments as a saving grace in an otherwise disjointed experience.The fundamental flaw of this film lies in its jarring visual approach – real actors placed against CGI backdrops create a constant disconnect that prevents full immersion. While the Minecraft world itself looks beautiful with its colorful blocks contrasting nicely against the deliberately sterile real world, the human characters never feel like they belong. This creative choice stands in stark contrast to fully animated successes like The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Wreck-It Ralph, which committed to consistent visual worlds with relatable characters.What's most frustrating is how the film fails to understand its own audience. The moments that generated the most excitement – faithful recreations of game elements like zombies, skeletons, and other creatures – take a backseat to conventional Hollywood storytelling tropes and bizarre romantic subplots. Critics have largely panned the film with ratings around 4.8/10, while audiences (particularly young fans) have embraced it with scores of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes. This disparity reveals the film's identity crisis – trying to please everyone while fully satisfying no one. Whether you're a Minecraft enthusiast or simply curious about video game adaptations, we'd love to hear your thoughts! What video game movies do you think succeeded where this one failed?

"What happens when Paul Rudd, Jack Black, and a giant snake collide on Christmas Day?"In this laugh-out-loud edition of The Ben and Skin Show, the crew dives into the absurdity of Hollywood's latest fever dream: a satirical Anaconda reboot starring the ever-lovable Paul Rudd and Jack Black—with a surprise appearance by the legendary Steve Zahn. Is it a parody? A midlife crisis movie? A Tropic Thunder-style jungle disaster? No one knows for sure, but one thing's clear: “It's gonna be a big f***ing snake, and it's gonna rip!”

Sony made a sequel to Jumanji, that sad Robin Williams movie from the ‘90s, 22 years later? And it made a billion dollars? And everyone liked it?? It's true. And as a result, every time a movie studio makes a questionable legacy sequel this is why. They're telling themselves: “It worked with Jumanji.” It's why Disney is putting out a Tron movie this year. Well, the thing is, the movie needs to be good! And Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle IS good. It's a very likable and winning comedy. It's just kind of a lackluster blockbuster. But what a fun cast! The Rock is once again able to have fun playing a guy who feels very awkward looking like The Rock. Kevin Hart is very funny, Karen Gillan kicks ass, and Jack Black gives maybe his best ever performance. Nick Jonas is also here. And this movie has us asking the big questions. What makes you you and me me? Are our personalities completely predetermined? Do NPCs have a right to privacy? If you're popular in high school, will you be popular for the rest of your life? And are dicks just the tits of the man? There's also an unexpected 10-minute Blade Runner digression. The Summer of Rock is our summer 2025 miniseries covering the movie career of Dwayne Johnson through nine movies, presented in chronological order. Starting with his attempt at crossing over from the world of wrestling, The Rock's career got off to a bumpy start before finally taking off in the 2010s. But it wasn't long before the bumps returned, and we'll be telling the story for you all summer long!

Strap on your goggles and hoist the sails, this week on Born to Watch, the crew dives into a post-apocalyptic puddle with their Waterworld (1995) Review, Kevin Costner's legendary aquatic epic that soaked Universal Studios in ambition, cash, and controversy. Whitey, G Man, and Damo reunite to wade through the waves of cinematic history, revisiting a film as infamous for its behind-the-scenes chaos as it is for its soggy storytelling.From the jump, the team questions Waterworld's place in pop culture infamy. Once touted as the most expensive movie ever made, this maritime Mad Max-on-water starred Costner at the peak of his fame, but was it his creative apex or the beginning of his soggy descent? The guys don't pull punches, balancing deep dives into production lore with their trademark irreverent humour.Whitey sets the tone by confronting the bloated ambition of the project: “Has any Hollywood star become so famous with a catalogue with so many peaks and troughs?” Cue a wide-ranging Costner retrospective, comparing the golden days of Field of Dreams and The Untouchables to the indulgent excesses of The Postman and yes, Waterworld. The verdict? Costner might've been drinking his own Kool-Aid, filtered through a urine distillation machine, of course.G Man leads the crew through the absurd plot, where the Earth is drowned, the polar caps are melted, and dry land is a mythic memory. Costner plays the Mariner, a grim, gilled loner with webbed feet and a personality drier than the lost continent he's searching for. The podcast doesn't shy away from the film's narrative flaws: characters with no backstory, Mad Max rip-offs, and a complete lack of chemistry between the leads, most notably between Costner and Jeannie Triplehorn, affectionately known as “Jeannie Triple Blurter” by the team.Speaking of performances, Dennis Hopper's turn as the Deacon is eviscerated with delight. Compared to his electric villain in Speed just a year prior, Hopper here is an oily cartoon, piloting a rust-bucket Exxon Valdez filled with chain-smoking goons. “It's a bad Beyond Thunderdome,” declares Whitey, and the panel doesn't disagree.The gang revels in the film's infamous production disasters: hurricanes, a constantly rewritten script, Costner's massive creative control, and his falling out with director Kevin Reynolds. G Man reminds us of the legendary quote about Costner directing himself: “Now he gets to work with his favourite actor and his favourite director.” Ouch.Despite the floundering script, there are moments that the Born to Watch crew appreciates. The practical effects, like the massive floating Atoll set and Costner's tricked-out trimaran, get nods of approval, even if the action sequences are undercut by choppy editing and goofy stunts. And the team can't help but laugh at the iconic “pee filtration scene,” the rope-assisted bungee jump climax, and the infamous underwater city reveal, which defies all logic and basic physics.One of the episode's standout sections is “Question Time,” where the trio tackles the film's most baffling plot points: How does the Mariner's boat outrun jet skis? How does dry land remain uninhabited? And why, oh why, would someone spend their life searching for paradise only to leave it five minutes after finding it?The boys also pay tribute to the lesser-known cast and crew: a young Jack Black in a blink-and-miss-it role, Tina Majorino (aka the Enola of Napoleon Dynamite fame), and the brilliant yet misfiring score from James Newton Howard. “He dialled it in harder than Dennis Hopper did,” quips Damo.By the end, the Born to Watch gang reaches a consensus: Waterworld is a cinematic curiosity, too ambitious to dismiss outright, too flawed to celebrate, and just insane enough to warrant a watch. Maybe once.So whether you're a fan of ‘90s action epics or just here to marvel at cinematic misfires, this Waterworld deep dive is a splash of nostalgic chaos you won't want to miss.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts!Join the conversation:Is Waterworld an underrated cult classic or a floating disaster?Would you survive in a world covered by the ocean? And seriously, how does that boat outrun jet skis?#BornToWatch #Waterworld #KevinCostner #MoviePodcast #90sMovies #PostApocalyptic #DennisHopper #JeanneTripplehorn #CultClassic #MadMaxOnWater #MovieReview #PodcastLife

'Proclaim Liberty' with Clint Armitage (Christian Liberty, Motivation & Leadership)
In this episode of the Radio Coffee House, host Clint Armitage takes listeners on a heartfelt exploration of childlike faith, drawing inspiration from the uplifting story of Tanner Smith, a participant on the Netflix show "Love on the Spectrum." Clint highlights Tanner's pure and genuine perspective on love and relationships, showcasing how his excitement and innocence serve as a beautiful example of faith in action. Through audio clips from Tanner's journey, listeners will be captivated by his candid thoughts on dating and his joyful encounters, including a memorable moment with actor Jack Black. Clint emphasizes the importance of maintaining a childlike heart, reminding us that faith should be about trust, openness, and joy—qualities that Tanner embodies effortlessly. As the episode unfolds, Clint dives into biblical teachings on childlike faith, referencing Matthew 18 and the Beatitudes to illustrate how humility and a lowly position in our hearts are essential for entering the kingdom of heaven. By contrasting the perspectives of children with the pride often found in adulthood, he encourages listeners to embrace a mindset that is grateful, loving, and free from envy.

Scream hat den Slasher Mitte der 90er wiederbelebt, kurz danach kam I Know What You Did Last Summer: Vier attraktive Teenies, ein Killer mit Fischerhaken und ein dunkles Geheimnis. Zur Vorbereitung auf den brandneuen Kinofilm reden wir heute über die ersten beiden Teile und klären, ob sie echte Klassiker sind oder retrospektiv überhypt werden.

This week, I cashed in a Hall Pass and picked a sequel that's part slasher, part tropical fever dream — "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer." With a new entry in the franchise on the horizon, there's no better time to revisit the wild ride that is winning a mysterious trip to an abandoned island resort during hurricane season.To help unravel this Rube Goldberg chain of Hook Man chaos, we brought back our horror sequel expert Chris Egan. We cover everything from:Why you maybe should tell your family before skipping townThat weird dummy in the roadJeffrey Combs crushing it as the creepiest hotel manager everThe world's worst resort staffAnd of course... Jack Black in dreadlocks (yikes)
Send us a textRemember when 90s horror was all about beautiful people running from fishermen with hooks? "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" perfectly encapsulates that strange era when our slashers took tropical vacations and our protagonists made questionable decisions at every turn.Jennifer Love Hewitt returns as Julie James, still traumatized from the events of the first film, now haunted by nightmares and paranoia. When she and her college roommate Brandy (played by musical superstar Brandy) win a dream vacation to the Bahamas through a radio contest, it seems like the perfect opportunity to escape her troubles. Little does she know, the contest was rigged, and the vengeful hook-wielding fisherman has orchestrated the entire scenario to finish what he started.The film delivers exactly what sequel-hungry audiences of 1998 craved - more beautiful people, higher body count, and even Jack Black in a bizarre role as a dreadlocked weed dealer. While Freddie Prinze Jr. makes a welcome return, fans rightfully lament his limited screen time. The tropical setting provides a refreshing change from the original's small town, allowing for storm-related tension as our characters find themselves trapped in an increasingly empty resort during the off-season.What makes this film so fascinating to revisit isn't its scares (which are minimal) or its kills (which lack creativity), but rather how perfectly it captures late 90s horror sensibilities. The fashion, the music, the dialogue - it's all a time capsule of a specific moment in cinema history when slashers were commercially viable but creatively waning. The "Ben's son" twist may induce groans rather than gasps, but there's an undeniable charm to the film's commitment to its ridiculous premise.As a new "I Know What You Did Last Summer" film hits theaters this week, it's the perfect time to revisit this flawed but fascinating sequel and appreciate how far horror has come - or perhaps how much we sometimes miss the simpler days when all we needed was a hook, some rain, and Jennifer Love Hewitt's perfectly blow-dried hair surviving impossible humidity.Be our friend!Dan: @shakybaconTony: @tonydczechAnd follow the podcast on IG: @hatewatchingDAT
We're on our break, so enjoy this release of an episode from 2022, originally released exclusively on our Patreon! This is the true story behind the 2012 Richard Linklater movie, Bernie, starring Jack Black, Shirley McClaine, and Matthew McConaughey. It's about an assistant funeral director, Bernie Tiede, who everyone in town loves, and who befriends a rich, elderly widow named Marjorie Nugent, who nobody likes. Marjorie becomes more and more controlling and more demanding, and Bernie goes to extreme lengths to get out from under her grasp. It's described as a black comedy, of course with Jack Black at the helm, but after hearing more of the details of the case, it left people wondering: was the real Bernie Tiede the doting saint he was portrayed to be, or a conniving con man?

Get ready to rock, roll, and raise your devil horns as the Vinyl Boyz dive into the electric soundtrack that taught a generation to never stick it to the man—the School of Rock Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. Released in 2003 alongside the cult-classic film starring Jack Black, this album is a headbanging blend of classic rock anthems and original tracks that capture the spirit of rebellion and the soul of rock 'n' roll. From The Who’s thunderous “Substitute” and AC/DC’s “It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll)” to Jack Black’s powerhouse vocal performance on “School of Rock,” this album doubles as both a love letter to classic rock and a beginner’s guide to the genre. With tracks from Cream, Stevie Nicks, The Ramones, and Led Zeppelin (yes, they cleared a song for this!), the soundtrack honors the legends while igniting a passion for guitar riffs and freedom of expression. Whether you were a kid who wished Dewey Finn was your substitute teacher or just someone who believes rock will never die, this soundtrack hits all the right notes. Tune in as we kick off Week 2 of our 8-Week Soundtrack Summer, spinning one of the most fun and empowering compilations in movie music history. Let’s rock!!!!

Latest up from Spoken Label (Author / Artist Podcast) features making his debut, Richard Sparks (and yes, that is Jack Black in the picture who is talked about in the Podcast).Richard's bio advises "One morning in 1979 I got a call from an understandably excited Rowan Atkinson.“John Cleese just called. He's asked me to be in his new charity show – and can I do The Schoolmaster?”Er, yes.I'd written The Schoolmaster for Rowan the previous year, for a revue at the Hampstead Theatre (Rowan with Elspeth Walker and Peter Wilson). John and his co-producer, Martin Lewis, had seen it; and a year later, Rowan and I were backstage at Her Majesty's Theatre, meeting John and other members of the cast of The Secret Policeman's Ball.Rowan went on stage an unknown, with his gown and clipboard and pen, and came off a star. The Schoolmaster became his signature piece, the encore of his live shows. Eventually, he got tired of doing the same old routine and wrote another (ruder) version, generously giving me half the royalties.By that time, I'd cut my teeth on various TV shows, from HTV (Wales) to ITV (Southern and Central) to the BBC. I'd also written some stage shows (reviews, original plays, and adaptations of Goldoni comedies), and done a lot of freelance script editing. In 1992, I was hired by Columbia Picture Television to work with Blake Hunter and Marty Cohan, the creators of Who's the Boss?. My wife and I moved with our young daughter to her parents (converted) garage and we've lived in Los Angeles since.I've written a number of libretti for operas, almost all for the LA Opera – some original pieces, some translations from German or Italian. My writing partner, the composer, Lee Holdridge, was – in a way – once G.R.R. Martin's ‘writing partner' in that he composed the scores for the TV series Beauty and the Beast, for which Martin was a script writer.I'd been a hard-core RPG gamer for years when the idea for these books just fell out of the sky one morning, and I started writing. I have hardly had a moment to log on to any game — I'm too busy exploring the New Rock stories as they unfold.My publisher, Caezik SF & Fantasy, is a company of enthusiasts who love these genres. I am delighted to join their family of authors, and to be working with their executive editor, Lezli, Robyn.Three sequels – New Rock New Realm, New Rock New Rules, and New Rock New Roads, have been completed and will be published in due course. I'm currently working on the fifth book."More details including where to buy Richard's books can be found at: https://richardsparks.com/
“What does it sound like when a rock legend says goodbye—while sitting on a throne, surrounded by fire, thunder, and 40,000 screaming fans?”In this electrifying episode of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray—takes you inside the epic, emotional, and downright bizarre farewell concert of the one and only Ozzy Osbourne.From Jason Momoa moshing with Pantera to Jack Black jamming with Tom Morello's 13-year-old son, this wasn't just a concert—it was a full-blown rock opera fever dream. KT breaks down the wild lineup, including Metallica, Alice in Chains, Anthrax, and even a surprise appearance by Steven Tyler, who somehow belted out Led Zeppelin despite his “toasted” vocal cords.But it's not all jokes—there's genuine awe and respect as they reflect on Ozzy's legacy, his resilience, and the sheer spectacle of his final bow. From “Crazy Train” to “War Pigs,” the Prince of Darkness delivered one last thunderous sermon—and the guys were here for it.
John and Jay kick off with a hilarious comparison of generational "brain rot," contrasting millennial catchphrases like "shibby" that naturally faded away with Gen Z's evolving linguistic innovations that somehow grow more complex over time. Their observations about how different generations process and share humor reveal deeper insights about cultural transmission in the digital age.The conversation shifts to an unexpectedly enthusiastic review of the Minecraft movie, with both hosts expressing genuine surprise at Jason Momoa's scene-stealing comedic performance. "I thought I was going to watch it for Jack Black," one admits, "but Jason Momoa killed it!" They highlight how the film successfully bridges the knowledge gap for non-gamers while delivering authentic experiences for fans—a rare achievement for video game adaptations.Pure nostalgic excitement takes over when they discover the upcoming theatrical re-release of the original 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie for its 35th anniversary. Their spontaneous planning to attend a screening together captures that magical intersection of adulthood responsibilities and childhood enthusiasm that so many listeners can relate to. The immediate phone call to check if their local theater will carry the film showcases their authentic passion for these cultural touchstones.The podcast takes several unexpected turns, including a raw, unfiltered exploration of personal boundaries and attraction in an increasingly fluid world. While navigating these complex waters with their signature irreverent humor, the hosts demonstrate how honest conversation helps process evolving social norms, even when that discussion feels uncomfortable or imperfect.The episode wraps with a revealing discussion about modern parenting challenges, particularly the frustration when teenagers misappropriate powerful terminology like "oppression" without understanding historical context. This generational communication gap reflects broader cultural disconnects where young people access sophisticated vocabulary through social media before developing the nuanced understanding to use these concepts appropriately.Ready for more unfiltered conversations that blend nostalgia, pop culture, and raw honesty?

Dave and Milt crank the amp to 11 and count down the greatest fake bands of all time. That's right—no chart-toppers, no world tours, no actual existence. Just the fictional bands that somehow managed to rock harder than most real ones. We open with a little School of Rock, because if Jack Black doesn't make your fake band list, you're doing life wrong. From there, it's a nostalgic jam session through cinematic and small-screen legends like The Commitments, The Blues Brothers, The Wonders, and—of course—the loudest band in England that's not actually from England: Spinal Tap. Along the way, we unpack listener mail (someone really had feelings about Dr. Teeth), share stories of interns who may or may not be trapped in a basement recording kazoo solos, and ask the big questions—like how many blues brothers is too many? And is Stillwater the best band that never opened for The Allman Brothers? You'll hear music clips, trivia drops, obscure references (you're welcome, Christopher Guest fans), and—brace yourselves—a tease for the new Spinal Tap movie. Yes, it's happening. No, we don't fully understand it either. So if you've ever air-guitared to That Thing You Do, quoted A Mighty Wind unprompted, or shouted "Shama-lama-ding-dong" in polite company… this one's for you. Timestamps (for those who prefer structure in their musical mayhem): 00:00 – Welcome to Past Tens: We're faking it today 01:25 – Listener mail: Love, hate, and one impassioned defense of Jem and the Holograms 03:38 – The countdown begins (cue dramatic VH1 voiceover) 10:25 – #10: School of Rock – Let's rock, let's rock… today 18:42 – #9: The Folksmen – Three-part harmony, one-part folk satire 25:06 – #8: Stillwater – It's all happening (and surprisingly soulful) 33:11 – #7: Dr. Teeth & the Electric Mayhem – Muppets who shred 38:26 – #6: Otis Day & the Knights – Oh yes, we do mind if you dance with our dates 45:19 – #5: The Commitments – Soul power straight outta Dublin 48:19 – Intern tales & unlicensed musical ambition 49:08 – The Commitments, part deux – We really liked this one 52:15 – Flight of the Conchords – New Zealand's 4th most popular parody folk duo 58:20 – The Wonders – That thing they did? Still slaps 01:06:59 – The Blues Brothers – Suited up and still cool 01:11:50 – Honorable mentions: yes, Jesse & the Rippers made the cut 01:26:13 – Spinal Tap – Stonehenge, baby. Always Stonehenge 01:35:13 – Closing thoughts and shameless plugs

Editors - Catherine Haight ACE, Laura Zempel ACE and Isaac Hagy ACE SIRENS editors Cate, Laura and Isaac have crafted a television experience that intrigues and entertains the audience, while also challenging them on conventional gender biases. Their work on SIRENS was not just professionally unifying but creatively fulfilling as well. The team established a ritual of analyzing scenes together each week, discussing tone, performance, and overarching storyline elements. This collaborative approach allowed them to align their unique editing styles into a cohesive representation of the series' narrative. One of the remarkable aspects of SIRENS is its tonal balance—oscillating between humor, mystery, and drama. The show's collaborative ethos even extended beyond the main editing trio. They leaned on the talents of assistant editors like Jen Bryson, who ultimately co-edited Episode 5 with Laura. Based on her play, Elemeno Pea, Molly Smith Metzler's Sirens tells the story of two estranged sisters from Buffalo, Devon and Simon. While Devon is back in Buffalo, caring for their father who suffers from early on-set dementia, Simone is living in the idyllic seaside town Port Haven, working as a personal assistant for a wealthy socialite named Michaela. When Devon travels to Port Haven to bring Simone back to Buffalo to help care for their father, she finds a resistant sister who seems to be under some kind of mind control from her employer. When Devon refuses to leave without Simone, the mystery of Michaela unravels in a blend of drama and dark comedy. CATHERINE HAIGHT, ACE Catherine Haight, ACE is a film editor who has helped bring many award-winning television shows and films to the screen. Cate has had a long collaboration with Joey Soloway including the film Afternoon Delight, starring Kathryn Hahn, the award winning series Transparent, and I Love Dick. She also cut both The Polka King, starring Jack Black, and The Good House, led by Sigourney Weaver and Kevin Kline, with the directing team of Maya Forbes & Wally Wolodarsky. Cate also has edited the films Troop Zero, starring Viola Davis and Allison Janney, and Puzzle, with Kelly Macdonald and Irrfan Khan. She also cut the television series High Desert, Mozart in the Jungle, Girls, and New Girl. Her work on the pilot episode of Transparent earned her a nomination for both an Emmy and ACE Eddie Award, and she also received an ACE Eddie nomination for the pilot of Girls. Cate is a member of The American Cinema Editors and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Originally from New Hampshire, she now resides in Los Angeles with her husband. LAURA ZEMPEL, ACE Laura Zempel, ACE is a two-time Emmy Award winning editor based in Los Angeles. Originally from Sacramento, she received a BFA in Film Production from Chapman University. She began her career in as an assistant editor, and has gone on to edit features and television such as HBO's Euphoria, Apple TV's Lessons In Chemistry, Netflix's Beef. ISAAC HAGY, ACE Isaac Hagy, ACE graduated from USC film school in 2006 and continues to live and work in Los Angeles. His editing credits include feature films Waves and The Friend, as well as television programs Atlanta, Mr & Mrs Smith, Station Eleven, American Vandal, and Chef's Table. He has been honored with two Emmy and four ACE nominations. But to be fair, his Assistant Editor - a pit mix named Blue - does most of the hard work.

In this episode, Manika is joined by Maya (@bodegavanetta), a pop culture commentator and TikTok creator, for a cozy, spirited deep dive into the films of Nancy Meyers. The two kick things off reflecting on the golden age of tween girl movies and how the genre has all but disappeared. They reminisce about the joy and specificity of early 2000s hits like What a Girl Wants and Cadet Kelly, and mourn the loss of mid-budget coming-of-age stories that felt fun, earnest, and emotionally rich. Maya points out how today's film landscape leans heavily into aesthetics and “prestige,” often at the expense of heartfelt storytelling. What used to be a shared cultural experience is now fragmented by streaming platforms and driven by algorithms instead of vibes.The conversation naturally shifts to Nancy Meyers, a director whose work remains comforting, elegant, and emotionally layered. For both Manika and Maya, The Parent Trap was a formative film—one that shaped their ideas about family, womanhood, and storytelling. They discuss the film's complex emotional core, the fantasy of divorced parents reuniting, and how Lindsay Lohan's dual performance carries the movie with sincerity and charm. Meyers' attention to detail, especially in emotional beats and set design, is praised throughout the episode.From there, they move on to It's Complicated, a rom-com that embraces the messiness of middle-aged relationships and gives us a rare portrait of post-divorce desire. Manika and Maya appreciate the film's grounded portrayal of love and longing, noting how Meryl Streep's character is allowed to be flawed, funny, and desirable—something still too rare for women on screen. They reflect on how the film resists tying things up neatly and instead celebrates the freedom of ambiguity.Next up is The Holiday, another favorite for both. Maya highlights the significance of Jack Black being cast as a romantic lead and how that broke certain conventions around desirability in Hollywood. They talk about how The Holiday makes space for emotional vulnerability, friendship, and self-discovery, all while being set in two of the coziest cinematic homes of all time. The episode continues to explore how Meyers crafts stories that are aesthetically pleasing but never hollow—where the kitchens are iconic but so are the inner lives of her characters.Throughout the episode, Manika and Maya keep returning to the importance of joy in storytelling. They talk about how movies like Meyers' can be emotionally honest without being gritty, and why fun shouldn't be considered frivolous. The episode closes with a heartfelt appreciation for the way Nancy Meyers writes characters—especially women—who are allowed to be fully themselves: stylish, chaotic, competent, and full of longing.Maya's socialsTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@b0dega.venetamaya and fola takes over the world https://open.spotify.com/show/3hewyYLxSyrspCZh9gxGk8Carrd https://b0degaveneta.carrd.co/Manika's SocialsYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1CmokqeLIagz7nYQJfeRIwTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@manika3000?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1Podcast SocialsYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ivebeenmeaningtowatchthatp2316Twitter: https://twitter.com/BeenMeaning2PodTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ivebeenmeaning2podFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ive-Been-Meaning-To-Watch-That-113280083760521/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ivebeenmeaning2/Thank you so much for listening to the podcast.
