On this episode of Paid in Puke, we're partying with Emma Seligman's (Bottoms) 2021 anxiety-ridden comedy, Shiva Baby, starring Rachel Sennott, Molly Gordon, Dianna Agron, and Polly Draper. It tells the story of Danielle, a young art student who has an identity crisis at a Shiva, when she is forced to interact with her parents, her ex, her sugar daddy, and his beautiful wife, plus everyone who has known her since she was a baby. This movie is an poignant as it is hilarious. We talk about awkward interactions with relatives, sugaring, top quality food-acting, and the difficulties of being an impending college graduate.

What we expected to be a lovely conversation about Emma Seligman's feature debut, 2021's 'Shiva Baby'. Caroline & Producer corey defend the INCOMPARABLE Rachel Sennott performance, argue that Dianna Agron is amazing in this, and make a case that this film is more stressful than the entirety of 'Uncut Gems.' And, Carson... thought it was FINE. This is a wild, but REALLY good time. A HUGE thank you to Kalie McAlexander for our social media this season.

The Wiz RECOMMENDS Shiva BabyAs someone who doesn't enjoy uncomfortable, cringe comedies: it was surprising that Shiva Baby, the 2020 indie comedy, was something I found so hliarious.The story of a bi-sexual college student (Rachel Sennott) who goes to a Jewish funeral service who ends up in multiple embarrassing situations when not only her ex girlfriend happens to be there, but her current sugar daddy as well.The film both revels in the discomfort of the main character while having you feel empathy for her, even though all of the discomfort is due to her incredibly poor decision making.Uncomfortable or cringe comedy comes in two flavors: Either laughing at person being so clueless as to what they look like, you watch in second hand embarrassment or by laughing at the people who have to live through this situation knowing how embarrassing it is."Shiva Baby" is both: the main character is befuddled as to why she has this bad luck...until she starts to realize it and starts to deal with the discomfort of her own decisions.Comedies like this, such as "The Office", never really worked on me because it felt like I'm laughing more at the misfortune of someone rather than a situation.And yet, "Shiva Baby" was different even though it shares that same backbone.This is due to the fact that there is a comeuppance with the main character realizing how she got where she's at and, by the end, you feel like she'll get out of it better.The film has the feel of a situation where, if this happened to you, you'd laugh about it years later while not enjoying the experience as it's happening."Shiva Baby" is hilarious and quick: it doesn't overstay its welcome nor does it feel slight.It's a comedy that both revels in mistakes but gives the character the humanity of knowing they can change.
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!

Molly Gordon makes everything better. She was a stand-out among stand-outs in films like “Good Boys,” “Booksmart,” and “Shiva Baby.” Then she showed her talents on the other side of the camera, co-writing/directing the hilarious indie hit “Theater Camp.” Now she plays Claire on the beloved series “The Bear,” which is about to drop its third season. On this episode she talks about why she loves improv, how her parents unintentionally formed her comedy sensibilities, getting “buzzed” from in-person auditions, “locking in” with Jeremy Allen White, why she's always aspiring to a child-like lack of self consciousness, and much more. Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft.

This week we cover The Idea of You, Elieen, Water for Elephants (the movie AND the musical), Malignant, Bottoms, Shiva Baby, and Good Omens. It's another week with just Lauren and Kevin and it's a packed one. They kick off the episode on a bit of an Anne Hathaway bender with The Idea of You and Elieen. These are two VERY different experiences, but decent on all counts, at the least. Next up, Lauren takes us from film to stage with Water for Elephants, first discussing the excellent original film and then the less excellent broadway musical. Kevin then turns the page from love story to horror story with the 2021 film, Malignant. It's a body horror flick with some great moments but a not always stellar delivery. Lauren saves the day by going to back to back comedy films starring Rachel Sennott, Bottoms and Shiva Baby. She liked the latter more than the former but both are likely worth a watch. Kevin finished the episode talking about the excellent BBC/Amazon series Good Omens. It's a fantastic tale of an angel and a demon who become best friends over the years and centuries who become the only beings alive that both know the end of days is coming AND want to stop it! As always, thank you for watching. If you haven't already, don't forget to Like & Subscribe. We love new viewers! Also, leave us comments and let is know how we are doing and what we can be doing better. Enjoy the episode and have a great week!

Erin and Paul review Kristen Stewart's lesbian neo-noir LOVE LIES BLEEDING, Sydney Sweeney's nunsploitation horror movie IMMACULATE, Jake Gyllenhaal's ROAD HOUSE remake, and Luc Besson's DOGMAN. Plus: we look back at AMERICAN FICTION, SHIVA BABY, YES MADAM, WALKABOUT and COUNTDOWN.
It began six years ago, in the before time, with three film nerds who have been friends for four decades. Through the years, whenever we hung out together, we would inevitably end up talking for hours about film. So, we wondered aloud, why not make it official? Thus was born, in the spring of 2018, Vintage Sand, your film history podcast. One pandemic, one insurrection, a few erasures and rewritings of the film business and several hundred loyal listeners later, we thought it might be appropriate to commemorate our 50th episode by inviting friends and recording said episode live at the 14th Street Y in Manhattan. As you will hear, around 30 people came to support us, to hurl the occasional metaphorical tomato, and to remind us why we love doing this so much, as we recorded our roundup of 2023 in film in an episode we call “Of Bombs and Bombshells”. As with the last few years, this one was difficult to read. We applied our usual measure, wondering which of this year's films, beyond “Barbie”, “Oppenheimer” and Scorsese's epic will folks will still be watching 25 or 50 years from now. Hard to say, but at least it was a year where, with the exception of Aster's “Beau Is Afraid”, we were able to avoid a repeat of 2022, where some of our most interesting filmmakers (Russell, Aronofsky, Chazelle, Iñárritu, Luhrmann, Garland, et al.) released films that were not just bad but disastrous on an epic scale. 2023 was marked by labor strife in Hollywood, huge existential questions about the business as it has been run for over a century, and anxiety over the implications of technologies like AI and streaming. But it was also a year that welcomed a solid return to form of Vintage Sand favorites like Todd Haynes and Alexander Payne, gave us Wes Anderson's first Oscar for his reunion with Roald Dahl, and brought forth astonishing new voices in works as varied as Celine Song's “Past Lives”, Cord Jefferson's “American Fiction”, and Emma Seligman's follow-up to “Shiva Baby”, the wonderful “Bottoms”. It also gave us perhaps the most ambitious American film of the century, Ava Duvernay's stunning imagining of Isabel Wilkerson's “Caste”, in her epic “Origin”, an underseen gem that may in time prove to be the year's greatest film. To top that off, there was the gently surprising return to classic form of the Oscars, featuring first wins for the aforementioned Wes, Christopher Nolan, and Robert Downey, Jr. Emma Stone won for her incredibly complex performance in “Poor Things”, but this Oscars may be remembered as the year Lily Gladstone was robbed for a performance that was much less showy than Stone's but in our opinion, much more powerful. And as for the show itself, Ryan Gosling's performance of “I'm Just Ken” may have been the greatest dance number the Oscars has seen in recent memory, though it only served to remind us how intensely the genius and talent behind “Barbie” were ignored by the Academy. Writing in the “New York Times”, Mark Harris, perhaps our favorite working film writer today, posited that film as the central force in American popular culture may be dying out. But like Harris, we don't necessarily mourn the change; after all, the “death of cinema” has been a hot topic of discussion ever since the talkies arrived 95 years ago. In fact, we agree with Harris that 2024 may be another 1970, a year when out of the rubble of the collapse of the familiar emerged a revolution of unprecedented creativity and innovation. We have no idea what the future of film will bring, but whatever it is, we hope to be there to share our thoughts with you, not as frustrated film critics or experts in any way but as passionate film lovers who want to open as many doors as possible to new films and to new lenses through which to view old ones. To Billie Eilish's eternal question, what were we made for? Hopefully another 50 episodes—at least!

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced they're adding the Best Casting category to the Academy Awards in 2026 (awarding movies made in 2025). If you're scratching your head as to why casting should get its own award, you're not alone. I thought this award would just comprise of the movie with the most A-listers, "might equals right" scenario. Enter Kate Geller, a New York-based casting director with nearly 100 projects under her belt, from assisting on the first two JOHN WICK movies and THE MAZE RUNNER to working as casting director for MOLLI AND MAX IN THE FUTURE (covered on this podcast!) SHIVA BABY and MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON. She actually won ARTIOS awards for the latter two movies, so who better to weigh in on the topic, along with teaching me perspective on how much work goes into casting - and ultimately, kick-starting - a movie? --- Follow Kate on Instagram: @kategellercasting Follow The Movies on Twitter: @themovies_pod --- Music: Marlowe - "Cold Open" Jeff Rosenstock - "Rainbow" --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/themoviespodcast/message

There's no way to exactly describe the dark and hilarious debut dramedy Shiva Baby except to say: you giggle at what should be sad, feel heartbroken for what should be exciting, become annoyed with the emotional meddling, and end up a ball of stress and tension — until the twists and turns of this darkly comic plot unwind the whole thing, ending with a painfully hysterical moment and heartwarming queer romance in the making. With an emotional roller coaster loaded with relatives and lovers like these, who needs enemies? By the end of the movie, it only proves that laughter is therapy.https://www.confessionsofaclosetromantic.comShiva Baby is a little over an hour and well worth seeing, but if you only have a minute, the trailer captures some of its unique flavor.Rachel Sennott would love to "help other young women write or act in comedy" and girl, you're a fresh, generous, delightful soul. Her journey into acting and comedy —and this movie —is such a sweet wholesome story."Women decode sexual messaging from a young age...They have to process what sex means, what it can do for them, what it should do for them, what they're supposed to do for it...and I'm interested in how women figure it out." An interesting interview with director and writer Emma Seligman.A beautiful explanation of the meaning and ritual of the ancient Jewish tradition of sitting shiva.Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode, please click share in your podcast app and tell your friends!

The first rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club. But when it comes to Bottoms – the new queer high school comedy from Emma Seligman, in which two teen lesbians start their own Fincher-esque Fight Club in an attempt to get closer to cheerleaders – well, there's really no helping it. On today's episode of Script Apart, the acclaimed filmmaker breaks down an early version of the smash hit new movie that began with our heroes, PJ (Rachel Sennott) and Josie (The Bear star Ayo Edebiri) “masturbating at a militaristic boot camp for horny girls.” In this version of the film, a steroid epidemic that "causes people to hate women" was wreaking havoc at Rockbridge Falls High, with it up to PJ and Josie to save the day.Listen to our spoiler conversation with Emma to discover the thematic connections between Bottoms and her groundbreaking debut Shiva Baby, the inspiration behind fragile football star Jeff, her process of writing the script with Sennott and much, much more.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

Episode 91: Shiva Baby Hello lovely queers! Today Alicia and Sarah are talking about the wonderfully claustrophobic 2020 film Shiva Baby. The movie takes place in a tight 72 minutes over the course of one afternoon, mostly at, you guessed it, a shiva. It revolves around Hot Mess Hot Bi Girl Danielle, who gets wrapped up in a TON of drama involving her sugar daddy, her ex-girlfriend, her parents, and a screaming baby. This movie is great and we also just found out they are making it into an HBO series, so yay!

We are playing hella mindgames in this episode of ScaryCrit, where we get lost in the trappings of the 2000s trippy thriller The Cell. This has been an episode long in the making and it makes quite a step in our #Roadto100! Bolstered by Melle's delicious passion for this underrated gem, we explore Jennifer and Vince's uncharacteristic roles, the movie essentially being two different stories, the illustration of fantasy and darkness through the mind and the mind itself being the perfect sandbox for The Cell to play with all it's weirdness in. Note: If y'all have not ever watched The Cell, we implore you heavily to please see it before listening. Seriously!Second note: Please don't hold our mispronunciations of Hercule Poirot and Gonjiam against us. Jared got the I and J mixed up and Melle's heart was in the right place. Thank you.

This is not another teen movie. That's right, we're finally reviewing Bottoms this week, which is a raunchy teen sex comedy from the people who brought us Shiva Baby and Bodies, Bodies, Bodies. Critics have been loving this one, even though its box office has so far bottomed out, but where do the Cinemaholics stand (or sit?) Bottoms was directed by Emma Seligman, which she co-wrote with Rachel Sennott. The cast includes Sennott, as well as Ayo Edebiri, Ruby Cruz, Havana Rose Liu, Kaia Gerber, Nicholas Galitzine, Miles Fowler, Dagmara Domińczyk, and Marshawn Lynch. The movie opened on August 25 through MGM and has an 88-minute runtime. Our intro music this week is “Which One?” by Glimlip & .multibeat.

What better way to kick off "Back to School" week than with this brand new raunchy teen comedy directed by Emma Seligman who recently gave us Shiva Baby? The story focuses on two SEEMINGLY dorky (as the movie tells us) lesbian best friends who are both virgins but would prefer to NOT stay that way as they each have their eyes on two cheerleaders for the school football team. The two teenagers are played by Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edibri....and the only things standing in their way include the football player boyfriends of said cheerleaders, the nasty principal, and the fact that nobody really likes these girls at their school. So the obvious solution is.....to start a fight club for girls at the school?? Yes in fact they do and the new fight club is a hit for girls looking to defend themselves....or exact revenge on folks who have hurt them. And what results is a raucous, funny and surprisingly violent comedy which certainly does NOT pull its punches.....

BOTTOMS MOVIE REVIEW From the writer and the director of the criminally underseen Shiva Baby comes this new high school raunchy comedy, Bottoms. PJ (Rachel Sennott) and Josie (Ayo Edebiri) are best friends, gay, and pretty much on the bottom rung of popularity at their school. And at their school, it is ALL about football.… Read More »Highly Suspect Reviews: Bottoms
See Bottoms! That's our take this week with first-time-guest Meredith Melville. But should you go back to Bottoms writer/director Emma Seligman's debut, Shiva Baby? That's a little more mixed. Two films from the same director...two beers from the same brewery. Garden Path Fermentation enters the BaaM 5-Timers Club after we enjoy their The Easygoing Drink and The Wet Hopped Ship!

It's been far too long since we've seen a movie like Bottoms — and in some respects, we've never seen anything quite like it. Sure, we've seen some recent high school comedies that venture into ranch territory, but Bottoms jumps feet first into that zone without even an ounce of hesitation, and once there, delivers non-stop hilarity while also deconstructing the high school comedy classic and highlighting what the formula's been missing (and often getting wrong) all these years.Emma Seligman's sophomore feature reunites her with Shiva Baby's Rachel Sennott who stars in Bottoms and also co-wrote the screenplay alongside Seligman. Sennott headlines Bottoms with The Bear breakout Ayo Edebiri playing PJ and Josie respectively, the “ugly, untalented gays” of Rockbridge Falls High School. Eager to get with the girls of their dreams, PJ and Josie start a new school club — a fight club. What begins as an extremely bold move to get cheerleaders to notice them turns into a community that gives school outcasts a sense of belonging and ignites a ferocious fire to stand up for themselves.Bottoms is an Emma Seligman and Rachel Sennott movie. There's no other creative duo who could have brought this concept to screen quite this way, and the folks at Brownstone Productions and Orion Pictures knew it. With Bottoms now playing in theater nationwide, Seligman joined me for a Collider Ladies Night interview to recap her journey in the industry thus far and to discuss how she found the perfect creative partners for the film, ones who believed in her vision and her ability to execute it her way. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We were able to catch an early screening of the ferociously funny teen sex satire, Bottoms, with a Q&A from director, co-writer, and executive producer Emma Seligman, along with producers Max Handelman and Alison Small. This flick is a lot of gloriously over-the-top fun, and we think you should definitely check it out, especially if you love films like Heathers or the teen comedies of the 90s.

Today, we're discussing the latest film from filmmaker Emma Seligman, "Bottoms," starring Rachel Sennott, Ayo Edebiri, Ruby Cruz, Havana Rose Liu, Kaia Gerber, Nicholas Galitzine, Miles Fowler, Marshawn Lynch, Dagmara Dominiczyk & Punkie Johnson. Co-written alongside Rachel Sennott, the "Shiva Baby" pair reunite for this female-driven high school sex comedy that combines "Mean Girls" with "Fight Club" to form a hilarious, violent, and memorable film that will likely gain cult status in a short period of time.

Hollywood loves a movie about horny teens desperate to lose their virginity, and the smart new comedy Bottoms is a welcome addition to the canon. Ayo Edebiri and Rachel Sennott star as unpopular best friends who start a fight club in hopes of seducing the cheerleaders of their dreams. Bottoms was co-written by Sennott and Emma Seligman, who also directs. They previously collaborated on the movie Shiva Baby.
When Emma Seligman's debut film SHIVA BABY premiered in on a Brooklyn rooftop in 2021, Jordan was there to see the event first-hand. That was arguably the start of a whirlwind of movie deals and news that led straight to BOTTOMS, Seligman's new film, co-written by Rachel Sennott (who stars in both films). On this week's episode, Emma and Jordan talk through that trajectory as they compare notes on Needy Lesnicki, the heroine of one of FEELING SEEN's most beloved texts.Then, Jordan has one quick thing about ***With Jordan Crucchiola and Emma Seligman
"Bottoms" had its world premiere at the South By Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival earlier this year and received positive reviews for its outrageous premise, raunchy humor, unpredictability, and chemistry between the film's stars, Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri. Following the success of "Shiva Baby," Emma Seligman's second directed feature film expands upon her first in nearly every conceivable way while retaining her unique voice and giving rise to women's stories in unexpected genres and situations. Seligman was kind enough to spend some time talking with Ema Sasic, while Stunt Coordinator Devon McNair and Cinematographer Maria Rusche spoke with Dan Bayer about their involvement in making the film. Please take a moment to listen to the interviews and check out the film, which is opening in limited release this weekend from Orion Pictures before expanding next weekend. Thank you, and enjoy!
