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.

Episode 34 - Romeo + Juliet

Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall podcast till it be morrow. In this episode, Jae decided to inject a little bit of class into what has been an admittedly silly cycle by suggesting the group watches Baz Luhrmann's William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet. In what was undeniably a cultural flash point of the 90s, Luhrmann adapted the classic play into a modern setting in what could only be described as a frantic cyclone of camp. Join Bridget, EV, Bri and Jae as they discuss queer undertones, the value of excellent casting, and Son of the Mask.

Episode 33 - The One

You are all my listeners, now! The Delroy Lindo Train cannot be stopped this episode as Bri took the rest of the girls on a trip through Jet Li's The One. A little bit of Highlander, a little bit of Future Wars, and a whole lot of nu-metal, The One is a relic from an era of Hollywood where the dumbest ideas were allowed to exist, so long as they had star power behind them. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss turn-of-the-century politics, ziggurats, and, of course, rats with giant balls.

Episode 32 - Sinners

So, you rob banks and trains, but you can't steal this podcast for a night? After a brief hiatus, all of the girls are back again, this time to discuss a movie actually released in the same calendar year as this recording: Sinners! With all the hype behind this film earlier on in the year, EV felt it was a worthwhile pick for the group to watch and discuss; suffice it to say, this bombastic love letter to music and genre fiction didn't disappoint. Join EV, Bridget, Bri, and Jae as they discuss the blues, the dire state of sexuality in popular culture, and America as an ideal vs. America as a reality.

BONUS - The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy

With our regularly scheduled episodes currently on hold due to Big Moves Happening, Jae figured there has never been a better time to have an in-depth 3-hour long discussion about 2025's totemic visual novel, The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy. However, she couldn't handle such a herculean task on her own, so she invited on Eskay from Two Queers Play (https://www.youtube.com/@twoqueersplay) to help her out. Join the two of them as they discuss the psycho-sexual nature of fascism, choose-your-own-adventure novels, and the liberation of creating art, regardless of its flaws.

Episode 31 - Congo

It's Monkey Monday! Show me that monkey! For this episode's expedition, Bridget took the rest of the girls into the depths of the Congo with the 1997 film, Congo. While certainly not a good movie, Congo more than makes up for it by being a wildly eccentric piece of technothriller slop. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss the impact of Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park, Jimmy Buffett, and eviscerating monkeys with a laser gun.

Episode 30 - Before Sunrise

If there's any kind of magic in this world, it must be in the attempt of podcasting. In a major tonal shift, Jae felt like it was time for the rest of the girls to learn a little bit about the art of yearning, which means they're talking about Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise; the first entry in the Before trilogy, this film introduces us to Jessie and Celine, a couple of 20-somethings whose chance meeting will lead to a lifelong romance. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss romantic chemistry, the liminality of life, and the ironic detachment of Gen X.
