Romy and Michele's High School Reunion with Erik Anderson

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by Erik Anderson (AwardsWatch) for a delightfully nostalgic romp through high school. We wonder if Romy and Michele will eventually realize that they are each others' true soulmates and actually marry each other, express our deep fondness for Alan Cumming, pick the film's best fashion moments (so hard!), marvel at Mira Sorvino's accent work, and go allllll in on that transcendent dream sequence.Follow us on Twitter and IG!

Pain & Gain with Patrick Willems

The Awful Truth with David Canfield

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by Vanity Fair's David Canfield (Little Gold Men) for the film that launched Cary Grant into super stardom. We discuss Cary Grant's contentious personal life filled with gay rumors, our favorite sneaky ways around the Hays Code, the joy of screwball comedies and their subversive gender roles, a pitch perfect Irene Dunne performance, and Mr. Smith – a very good boy.Follow us on Twitter and IG!

Barbie

HI, BARBIE! Following its huge opening weekend, Jordan and Brooke think pink and get all dolled up for the movie event of the year.

Ocean's Eleven with Rette Solomon

Jordan and Brooke are joined by sibling of the pod (and noted The Eagle fan) Rette Solomon for the greatest heist in human history. We run down the sizzling eye contact chemistry between Clooney & Pitt (don't deny it), crucial elements of any great heist movie, the pros of Damon's glasses and the cons of Cheadle's accent, and just how many banger lines can fit into 2 hours. Plus, stick around for a VERY special gift for the pod from Rette :)Follow us on Twitter and IG! (And Jordan's Letterboxd / Brooke's Letterboxd)This episode is sponsored by Super Yaki!

The Birdcage with Kyle Stevens

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by film and TV professor Kyle Stevens for Mike Nichols' 1996 masterpiece. Is this the best ratio of jokes per minute ever put to screen? How is every performance so pitch-perfect? How did Nichols & May's backgrounds inform the American adaptation? And why wasn't Nathan Lane immediately given an Oscar for this?Follow us on Twitter and IG!

Josie and the Pussycats with Phil Iscove

Jordan and Brooke are joined by Phil Iscove (Podcast Like It's 1992) for this 2001 underrated masterpiece, packed with quality pop songs, aggressively Y2K outfits, and the best use of product placement...ever? We dig into directors Deborah Kaplan & Harry Elfont's careers, bisexual icon Alan Cumming, and why this is a film for the girls, gay and theys (and therefore a box office flop, tragically...).
