Expert in trash movies, Laura Petro is joined by her fellow expert in trash movies Sierra Kenyon to discuss 2016 movie that you probably haven't heard of "Be Somebody". A movie about a teen superstar desperate for normal life who ends up joining an artsy high school girl for a few days of normalcy. Joining them is their fellow quarantined friend who doesn't like trash movies, Eric Wiig. Together, these three will discuss this teen movie that they had high trash hopes for and the journey they went on watching it.

Laura Petro is back with her exciting minisode series Please Bake This where she makes recipes the fans send in. In this special quarantine edition, Laura is taking the reigns. She has selected a recipe she has made just one time before, a Crab Pasta with a Lemon Butter Sauce. Let's bake this! (And please don't forget to send us your recipes!!!)

In this week's minisode, Please Make This host Laura Petro and guest host Devin Middleton sit down to review new movies based only off of their movie trailers. Wondering what's coming to a theater near you? Better yet, wondering if any of it's worth your time? We got you covered!

On this week's Please Make This minisode host Laura Petro rings in the new year with her family and her new Disney Plus subscription. Joining her is her older brother Max Petro and her sister-in-law Ellie Petro to watch acclaimed Disney Channel Original movie "Jumping Ship." Will this long lost movie from their childhood bring back fond memories? And what ever happened to the Lawrence brothers anyway?

Please Make This has been receiving messages containing recipes from people on the internet wanting to know how to make something. While they have probably never listened to this podcast before, their intentions are good! Join Please Make This host Laura Petro (also good-intentioned) as she tries to do these recipes justice. On this episode of Please Bake This, Laura will be making a recipe sent into us by Rose for a "Simple Garlic Butter Parmesan Chicken with Lemon Rice." Don't forget to send us your recipes!!!

*Alarm Sounds* It’s a very special PMT minisode! The PMT gang is coming to you live(ish) from their “situation room” for an emergency broadcast to remind you there’s still time to donate to the Indiegogo for Broadcast: a film project by PMT host Laura Petro. Tune in and donate while there’s still time! Donate here: http://bit.ly/PMTBroadcast

Please Make This hosts Laura Petro and Hobert Thompson sit down for a conceptual double feature based on the dumbest criteria available: they both have numbers in their titles. In this new Please Make This minisode series, our patient, White Claw-fueled film fanatics craft perfect double features and test them out. This one’s about the bad Jim Carrey conspiracy thriller The Number 23 and the even worse sketch comedy film that somehow tricked a lot of famous people to be in it, Movie 43. Hey, why not?

On this PMT minisode, host Laura Petro starts a new segment 'Cutting Room Floor' where she discusses movies that actually got made and for one reason or another, never made it to release. On this episode she talks about the rise and fall of the blacklisted 90's Don's Plum, a black and white indie movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire. Joining her on the episode to talk in depth about what went wrong is none other than producer of the film Dale Wheatley.

Scyrptkeeper Hobert sits down with new Please Make This host Laura Petro and old host Spencer to discuss Laura’s college-era opus: Untitled Magicians Romantic Comedy. Sure, it never got a title, but it does have mean spirited magicians, romantic heel turns, and one very large rabbit. Abraca-Daring!!!

This week on PMT, we are excited to introduce our new cohost, Laura Petro! You might remember Laura as the guest writer behind Danto Inferni's Party Castle, our first anthology film and inspiration for the PMT koozie. In this minisode we learn more about her and ourselves as we list our top three movies and suggest new ones for each other to listen to. After this, take a listen to Danto Inferni's Party Castle and reacquaint yourself with the fun, creativity, and joy that Laura will be bringing to PMT in the future!
