Cats (2019) with Wyatt Muma

Jordan and Brooke are joined by returning guest and friend of the pod Wyatt Muma for the film to end all films...2019's "Cats!" How do we deal with how this film captivated the nation (and maybe ended the world)? Why are there (gasp) certain queer plotlines in the stage version that weren't included? And could there ever truly have been a good live action version of this thing?Follow us on Twitter!This episode is sponsored by Super Yaki! Use code: SUPERQQ for 10% off

Rebel Without a Cause with Drew Gregory

Jordan and Brooke are joined by filmmaker and writer Drew Gregory for 1955's utterly iconic teen flick.

Cat People (1942 & 1982) with Kill by Kill

Jordan and Brooke are joined by Patrick Hamilton and Gena Radcliffe (Kill By Kill) for a double feature on the 1942 and 1982 versions of this female-themed horror. How has sexuality on-screen (aka horniness) evolved between the decades? How did queer tones of the original get to be there in the first place? What drew the ever-entertaining Paul Schrader to this erotic remake? And...was this the original inspiration for Animorphs?Follow us on Twitter!Follow Kill by Kill on Twitter, and listen here!

Lawrence of Arabia with Maggie Mae Fish

Bound with Avery Edison

The Matrix Resurrections

Jordan and Brooke return to the source with Lana Wachowski's brand new solo outing.

Jupiter Ascending with Jackson McHenry

Jordan and Brooke are joined by Jackson McHenry (Vulture, New York Magazine) for the Wachowskis' 2015 space opera. How did Eddie Redmayne possibly conceieve of this (iconic) performance?

And where do we get our hands on a pair of Channing's amazing moon boots?Follow us on Twitter!Follow Jackson on Twitter!

Happiest Season with Bobby Finger

Jordan and Brooke are joined by Bobby Finger (Who? Weekly) to close out the holiday season with 2020's much-discussed Christmas rom-com.
