Episode 19 - Uma Musume: Pretty Derby — Beginning of a New Era

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't teach her how to podcast. The anime relay race enters the final stretch as Bridget takes the girls to the horse track with Uma Musume: Pretty Derby — Beginning of a New Era. Although the girls appreciate the concept and moments of stunning animation, the opinions on the final product are mixed, to say the least. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss the moé-to-gacha game pipeline, the works of David Lynch, and whether or not value can be derived from commercials

Episode 18 - The First Slam Dunk

Once you give up, the podcast is truly over. Bri is running the anime basketball down the court, as she brings the girls to The Championships in The First Slam Dunk! The directorial debut of esteemed manga artist Takehiko Inoue, The First Slam Dunk stuns the girls by both capturing the feeling of an amazing sports game while also feeling like a monumental achievement in anime, akin to Akira or Nausicaa. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss sports dynasties, herniated disks, and the questionable quality of 3D animation in Japan.

BONUS - Game of the Year 2024

We may be a movie podcast first and foremost, but, goddamnit, we contain multitudes! In their first bonus episode, the girls spend a couple hours running down what their favorite gaming experiences of 2024 were. They're unbridled by year of release, objective quality, and even the broad concept of what defines a video game in these rankings, so don't expect a conversation on the tent pole releases of last year; however, you can expect conversations on movie tie-in games, political philosophy, and the cosmic horror of crafting "player-driven" narratives.

Episode 17 - The Garden of Sinners: Paradox Spiral

I wish this spiral were a podcast. The wildcard is back in action this episode, as Jae takes the rest of the girls into the Nasu-verse with The Garden of Sinners: Paradox Spiral. Despite being the fifth film in an eight film franchise, Jae makes the argument that this part manages to function well outside of that context by virtue of being a bottle-episode-style mystery thriller. Let's find out if the rest of the girls agree! Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss blatant product placement, visual novel exposition, and asshole wizards.

Episode 16 - Blade

Some podcasters always tryin' to ice-skate uphill. EV has once again brought the rest of the girls back to the late 90s, this time to check out the proto-MCU comic book adaptation, Blade; it's arguably the most 90s-coded film they've watched so far, for all the positive and negative associations tied to such a label. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss medieval circumcision, Enron, and how Deacon Frost sleeps in an earthquake-proof bed.

Episode 15 - Terminator: Dark Fate

Come with me if you wanna podcast. After being stuck in the shadow of Tom Green with the last episode, Bridget was feeling like the rest of the girls were headed for a dark fate - Terminator: Dark Fate, that is! Much maligned at release, this entry in the Terminator series bombed in both the box office and public eye; thankfully, the girls discover throughout this viewing that it's a movie deserving of cultural re-evaluation. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss the collapse of empire, franchise fatigue, and Crunchyroll doorbusters.

Episode 14 - Freddy Got Fingered

They're podcasters! Mooooooooooooovie podcasters!!! This week, Bri woke up and chose chaos, having the rest of the girls watch 2001's Freddy Got Fingered; spearheaded by Tom Green, the film serves as a metaphor for how film studios will unwittingly throw away millions of dollars on the hot new thing, without realizing why exactly people like said hot new thing. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss the Schick Hydrobot, Lego depictions of national tragedies, and the morality of shock humor.

Episode 13 - Collateral

Yo, homie, is that my podcast? On this episode, Jae is making the rest of the girls hop from one neo-noir film to another as they discuss Michael Mann's Collateral. Although it was easily Mann's most successful movie financially at the time, Collateral seemed to be an entry in his filmography stuck in the shadow of giants; thankfully, this thrilling character study about a taxi driver unwillingly taking an assassin from hit to hit over the course of a single night has cemented itself over the last two decades as a classic. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss jazz, nihilism (derogatory), and the atomizing impact of cars on modern society.

Episode 12 - Deep Cover

God bless you, podcast listener! This October, the girls decided to celebrate the Halloween season by talking about the scariest topic of all: America's War on Drugs. That's right, per EV's connection, this episode they're discussing Bill Duke's underrated neo-noir film, Deep Cover, starring Lawrence Fishburne and Dark Jeff Goldblum. Although it's a fascinating exploration of the futility of those operations in the face of a deeply obfuscated and ever-evolving geopolitical landscape, this film firstly manages to be a slick and enthralling thriller like no other. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss barbecue jumbo shrimp, the ethics of boning down The Oncler, and double consciousness.

Episode 11 - Mandy

It took eleven episodes, but the girls have finally arrived in The Cage Zone. That's right, this time around, Bridget selected the 2018 Nicolas Cage vehicle, Mandy, directed by Panos Cosmatos. An atmospheric, hallucinogenic-addled revenge flick, Mandy juggles a variety of tones to craft an ethereal experience difficult to capture in a short podcast blurb. Frankly, it's difficult to capture in an audio discussion as well, but damnit are the girls gonna try! Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss chainsaw fights, coping with severe emotional damage, and whether or not Nicolas Cage is an experienced smelter.
