*This is an unreleased episode from the vault, we recorded this one back in 2022, NOW FINALLY AVAILABLE FOR YOUR EAR HOLES LUCKY YOU* Jake was suuuuper excited to show Emily this one. As anticipated, our discussion dove to some pretty interesting depths. Join us on our adventure through this cautionary tale that's a haunting modern expose on media, obsession, and ambition that blurs the line o...

It's our third ever 4th of July special and our FIRST time covering a Michael Bay experience on the show. Blast off as Emily ponders if she's watching propaganda and considers the plight of being an oil man in space. But more than anything, we've somehow manage to capture the pure, unfiltered weirdness that is Emily in this singular episode. The 40 second intro to this one is possibly...

We bout to get sleazy up in heeeeeeeeeeere!!! Cominatcha with a THIRD bonus VD episode to close out this holiday month. Why?

In addition to Jake's eternal unwavering crush on Denise Richards, we also talk about Arthur, S...

Aaaaaaaaand here we go. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It's time to finally show Emily this emotional behemoth of a film that's one of Jake's all-time favorites, and arguably one of the best movies about love and heartbreak ever lensed. Why do we talk about Hugh Grant, Shoresy, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Vanilla Sky (check our episode on this one!!!), Our Lord And Savior Nicolas Cage,...

Cominatcha with the first of our holiday-themed episodes for VD 2023!!! Join us as Emily watches a film that quietly/not-so-quietly breaks Jake every time he sees it - Mark Romanek's masterpiece (I said what I said), Never Let Me Go.

Pour yourself some ancient wine or mead or whatever and join us on our ongoing adventures as we have a dri...

Emily and Jake have been busy. Too busy to podcast. Which is both cool and lame. So we decided to have some fun and just do a freeform ramble episode.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN YOU SPOOKY B*TCHES!!!  So strap in, raise a glass, and join us on our ongoing adventures as we have a drink and...

Press the pedal through the floor and stay above 50 mph as you join us for a heap of summer fun as we fix the fact that Emily has blinders on to the world (okay, okay I'll stop q...

We originally planned to drop this episode for the 4th of July but yo' boi and gurl caught tha 'vid and were laid up sick for awhile. Thankfully we're on the other side and doing much better, and so you get this belated holiday special. Also Jake had a birthday since then so we decided to officially kick off summer movie season (belated, AGAIN) and are aiming to bring you all some rad up and comin...

What the hell are rules anyway? Oh man... This one was a bit of a risky bet. Jake knows that EVENTUALLY he will show Emily something he loves that she doesn't dig (it has definitely happened before). The Rules of Attraction was in the "yeah this might not go so well" column of options for us to do an episode on. Will this be the one that breaks Emily? Will Jake ever get over that shot of Jessica B...

Time to cry! Or at least, it's time for Jake to cry. A lot. This is one of his go-to films for a guaranteed broken heart. Will Emily be a blubbering emotional wreck by the time the credits roll too? Or will she prove to be probably dead inside and not feel all the feels? TUNE IN AND FIND OUT as we watch and ramble about Vanilla Sky! We managed to cram a lot of discussion into a much quicker runtim...

Ohhhhhhhhh man did we have fun watching this movie and recording this episode! This has been very high on the "I can't wait to show her this one" list for Jake since the inception of our show. Tune in and join us as we talk about porn! Or rather, the porn industry... Or, well not really so much that as we just hella vibe on Paul Thomas Anderson's seminal classic, Boogie Nights, which just so happe...

In their first Valentine's Day Special (yeah it's belated, so what get over it already), Jake and Emily embark on a superdeep dive of one of Jake's absolute favorite films about love - the 2013 Spike Jonze heartbreaker, Her. Join the romantically dynamic duo as they take a break from their It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia binge (Emily's first time through the series!) to get their hearts smashed...

Get ready to kiss and bang... wait... no, er, I mean... Welcome back to Feels Like The First Time Podcast!!! This time Emily and Jake dive into one of Jake's go-to happy flicks: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Will they succumb to the palpable chemistry between Robert Downey, Jr. and Val Kilmer? Will Jake ever get over his long-standing crush on Michelle Monaghan? Will Emily finally shake her crippling addic...

**FRIENDLY CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNING** In this episode we dive into topics involving discussion on sexual assault, rape, and police brutality. Strange Days have tracked us down... Join Emily as Jake shows her Strange Days! This is kind of a rough/heavy one to ring in the new year (which obvi we are just now catching up on, HI AGAIN WE MISSED YOU GUYS!), but ohhhhh man is it a good one. Listen as we...

Merry Happy Belated Christmas/Holiday/Festivus to everyone!!! As seems to be the norm lately, we are just trying to keep our heads above water over here and playing catch up.

In this festive sonofab***h we watch the Christmas classic Gremlins, which, yes... Emily has somehow nev...

***SPOILER ALERT: We DO discuss some spoilery stuff on The Matrix Resurrections, which JUST came out.

Join us as Emily discovers that nothing is real and tries to escape the simulation we're all trapped in after I finally show her The Matrix Trilogy!...

Holy special guest, listeners!!! Emily and Jake are joined by our great friend and filmmaker extraordinaire, Mark Bessenger!!! In a fun and unexpected change-up, on this episode Mark shows BOTH OF US something that we've never seen, but is his favorite film! Tune in as we talk about  the 1971 Vincent Price classic, The Abominable Dr. Phibes. So grab you a glass of wet s*** and join us on our...

WE'RE BACK! WE WERE SUPER BUSY (*tune in to learn more)! WE'RE SORRY WE WERE GONE! HERE'S SOME CONTENT! PLEASE LOVE US! But no seriously, that joke is swirling the drain faster than Jake and Emily were swirling from the awesomeness that is Alfred Hitchcock's VERTIGO! This is one of Jake's top favorite all-time films, so he was super excited to show Emily this one... and super unprepared for where...

**FRIENDLY CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNING** In this episode we dive into topics involving discussion on sexual assault, rape, suicide, depression, and mental health in general.  OH SNAP!!!

Emily and Jake are joined by THEIR FIRST GUEST EVER as the always awesome Joe Gilpatrick enters the convo and we discuss I Know What You Did Last Summer!!! Jake and Joe are long-time fans of this campy horror classic. I mean, it's not GOOD, but it's a helluva lotta fun and thankfully Emily now gets to be in on said fun. So, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!?! *spins dramatically* Crack open a cold one...

In a completely underhanded and arguably jerk move, Emily selfishly steals the reigns and takes over on this episode where she shows Jake a film he's never seen: 2002's Scooby-Doo! Tune in to bear audible witness to the drama that ensues from such villainous treachery. (Spoiler alert: as always, we had a lot of fun with this one! Also YAY JAMES GUNN!) So strap in, raise a glass, and join us on our...

So we changed it up a bit and tackled a new release!!! One that Jake happened to rent one day while Emily was out of town and had to bring into the fold because: 1) he loved it and it's currently his favorite film of 2021, 2) it stars the most bestest actor of our time, Nicolas Cage, and 3) we collab'd with our pals over at Genre Geeks for a secondary deep dive of this film on THEIR show. THAT'S R...
