Episode 44 - Terminator 2: Judgment Day

I know now why you podcast, but it's something I can never do. This week, EV decided to take the rest of the girls back to the well and drink deep on the T-1000's CapriSun fluids with 1991's Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Unsurprisingly, it's difficult to cover a piece of media as totemic as this in pop culture, but the girls scramble their way through the conversation somehow. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss nostalgia, what should happen to data centers, and Now That's What I Call Music!

Episode 43 - Mac and Me

There aren't really any quotes from this movie that I can cheekily edit to be about podcasts, so I'm just gonna go in raw. In this episode, Bridget had the rest of the girls watch Mac And Me, an E.T.-sploitation movie that is drenched in ideology and cigar-chomping fat cat decision-making. It's primarily known as the movie with a clip that Paul Rudd always slips into his interviews with Conan O'Brien and it doesn't deserve much of a legacy beyond that. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss ableism, copyright infringement, and intrusive product placement.

Episode 42 - Cabaret (1972)

Life is a podcast, ol' chum! Jae felt like the rest of the girls needed an escape from their everyday troubles, so she decided to take them on a trip through 1972's Cabaret. A delightful musical at times, a textured character drama in others, and a dread-inducing piece on how escaping through art will not free you from your material conditions all throughout, Cabaret is a multifaceted film that juggles all of those elements effortlessly. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss messy polycules, The Original Fart Collection, and living through the rising tide of fascism.

Episode 41 - Ishtar

And now...a podcast dedicated to the lovely ladies...of the Left. In this week's episode, Bri chose to inflict the most boring violence imaginable on the rest of the girls by having them watch 1987's Ishtar. Primarily remembered for being a box office flop, this movie is a bizarre amalgamation of failures from production, casting, and conceptual standpoints that results in a remarkably dull viewing experience. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss getting bugged by the feds, the discography of Simon & Garfunkel, and an egregious misuse of Isabelle Adjani.

Episode 40 - Galaxy Quest

Never give up, never podcast! In this episode, EV choose to blodly take the rest of the girls where many movie disucssions have gone before: 1999's Galaxy Quest. This sci-fi comedy, serving as a meta-commentary on the value of nerd culture, has had a cult following since it's release and the girls spend this conversation talking about how that commentary has aged, in addition to, y'know, all the good jokes. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss the long-term ramifications of nerd culture escapism, the semantics of what makes something an isekai, and, unfortunately, Tim Allen.

Episode 39 - Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein

I never considered what would come after podcasting. This episode, Bridget decided to play God by having the rest of the girls watch Guillermo del Toro's recent Frankenstein adaptation. Although divisive in it's execution, it's impossible to deny the artistry and passion on display over the film's runtime. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss the Romantic movement, ableist ideology, and forgiveness as a form of liberation.

Episode 38 - Eddington

Just don't make me think; post it! It was only a matter of time before Jae picked an absolutely miserable movie to subject the rest of the girls too, but she's not alone in finding reverie in Ari Aster's Eddington, as the crew is willfully joined by Friends From The Internet's Zoe! Is it an irresponsible piece of cinema? Does it try to do "both-sides"-ism? Is it just another meditation on the struggle of cishet white men? Or is spending your time posting about these kinds of questions on the internet a futile exercise in feeling empowered when you are irreparably alienated from your fellow humans by said exercise? Join Bridget, EV, Bri, Jae, and Zoe as they discuss the dichotomy of gendered class, humiliation rituals, and the death of media literacy.

Episode 37 - Jennifer's Body

She's just podcasting, it's not that impressive. With the first step of Project Mellon out of the way, Bri decided to serve in a wildly different direction and have the rest of the girls watch Jennifer's Body. Despite being advertised at the time as another "Megan Fox is so hot" boner comedy, the director/writer combo of Karyn Kusama and Diablo Cody produced what is now considered a queer cult classic about post-9/11 America. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss MySpace, the indie rock boom of the mid to late 2000s', and the commodification of national tragedies.

Episode 36 - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

One podcast to rule them all. In this week's episode, EV finally pulled the trigger on Project Mellon and the rest of the girls watch the first entry in Peter Jackson's totemic adaption of The Lord of the Rings. It goes without saying these films left a massive imprint of blockbusters in the 21st century, but do they hold any weight beyond their pop culture appeal? Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss the shadow Tolkien casts over genre fiction, homosociality, and, of course, wizards ripping fat clouds

Episode 35 - Kizumonogatari: Koyomi Vamp

I know an outcome that makes everyone miserable...and it's this podcast! As usual, Bridget brought the rest of the girls back to the world of anime, this time with the compilation film, Kizumonogatari: Koyomi Vamp. Stitching together three films, which were adapting the first part of a lengthy light novel series, Koyomi Vamp tries to tell the story of Araragi and his vampire compadre, Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade. Emphasis on the word "tries". Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss the aesthetic ambitions of Studio SHAFT, the dissolution of imperial Japan, and Monster Musume.
