Hear Me Out Pod

Roger, roger? We have clearance, clarence. What's our vector, victor? We're hoping to land this plane in this week's episode where we discuss ZAZ's legendary and groundbreaking movie. Join us while we giggle through this goofy spoof packed to the brim with jokes and gags. Good luck. Audrey and Kari are counting on you to listen.

In the Mood for Love is by filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai, his most famous work. It stands out visually with dark moody lighting contrasting with bright rich colors, making for an enchanting watching experience. The visuals perfectly match the story which is one of deep longing desire, revealing itself slowly and carefully. A love story perhaps, but maybe more of a study on what motivates us to act or mai...

Stuart, you have to stop. Your drip too tough. Your swag too different. Your smirk too bad, they'll kill you! And the they is Audrey, Snowbell, and everyone on letterboxd except Kari who is an earnest defender of this flick! Maybe it's the M. Night Shyamalan co-writer of it all? Jump in your little red convertible and listen to this week's episode. As Monty would say, pleeeease?

Impossible! To watch this and not think wow Brandy is so pretty! Impossible! To watch this and not think Paolo is actually crazy hot! Impossible! To watch Rodger and Hammerstein's Cinderella to use it's government name and not be at least charmed by it. They were taking some amount of swings in 1997 but we are here for!

School's back in session! And what a movie to turn your brain off from all your homework and just vibeeee. In a world full of bullies like McGinty, Principal Elliot, Dobbs, and Evil Ice Cream Man, be a huge chiller like Kari, Audrey, and Max on this weeks episode. Now CEASE and listen!

We discuss the 2020 Autumn de Wilde take on Jane Austen’s “Emma.” And also secretly the new Wuthering Heights movie. If you like literature, long movies, longing, and being a little bit bored this one’s for you!

Well folks, we did it. No I'm not talking about finishing the beloved Kari's Kreepies mini series, nor am I talking about wrapping up season 6 of our perfect little podcast Hear Me Out. Oh no no no, I'm talking about finally bringing the nefarious and infamous Henry Selick flick that has been the most alluded to movie on the pod: Monkeybone. Aside Chris Kattan giving a performance that quite frank...

Merry Christmas! Kari and Audrey talk through the 1966 Grinch rendition starring Boris Karloff and directed by Chuck Jones. Color changes through the years, best Grinch performances, and dreamcast Grinch actors all come up as we navigate through the nostalgia. In many ways You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch is the OG Brat Album color and all - and we have and always will be a Grinch fan.

Into the mud, scum-queen! This week we discuss the absurdist and surreal Steve Martin anti-comedy vehicle. Spoiler alert: we loved it! (At least in the context of this mini series.) The hornyness is off the charts, finger sucking is at its peak, Kathleen Turner's voice is at its raspiest yet, and Steve Martin is at his silliest. And he's not the only Steve we talk about. Do we unlock more Kari lor...

Only Hear Me Out could take THIS (movies) and THIS (childhood memories) and make !!THIS!! ⋆‧°𓏲ּ𝄢 a podcast ⋆‧°𓏲ּ𝄢 This week it's freaking THE Princess Diaries directed by Garry Marshall starring Anne Hathaway and MY queen Julie Andrews. This movies rocks and is such a childhood staple for so many so listen along to see us analyze it with 2026 adult pair of eyes. It has all the makings of genius -...

Ack! Ack! Ack! Not to be confused with this week's special guest: Ace! Ace! Ace! This trio takes on yet another Tim Burton film (maybe the most brought director on HMO thus far?) where it weirdly feels like his most grounded flick? But also arguably maybe his most boring. Just our opinion! These three also talk about the star studded cast, the incredible costuming, the martians being little sex pe...

Freddie Highmore is twin acting his little heart out in this movie adapted from the book series of the same name and it's no parent trap but it's pretty close! Kind of. Well not really but there are a lot of weird little creatures so that is fun! Seth Rogan's least Seth Rogan character maybe of all time and a disappointing end! Did you guys read this growing up? Shout out little weirdos!

Is this the worst movie we've ever reviewed on the pod? Did Kari and Audrey contemplate turning off this movie 10+ times upon rewatch and have it be the first movie we didn't finish? Was this 'le epic can i has cheeseburger' type humor ever funny even pre internet? Did Kari have to watch many Adam Sandler movies after this to help have her remember that she in fact does like the Sandman? Does this...

Nancy Drew has been an icon among young weird curious minds for at this point almost a decade. The 2007 movie harnesses the duality of annoyance and genius of Nancy Drew! Emma Roberts carries it well. So much media has been built off of this young detectives precocious back - of varying degrees of success and icon status. My favorite spin by far is the HER Interactive computer games - IFYKYK!!! No...

Introducing the second installation of the 5 part mini series: Kari's Kreepies. She takes Audrey down a long, dark winding road with these 5 mean-spirited flicks. These 'Kari Kreepies' are down right evil with a dash of uncanny. They're off-beat movies with usually a comedian as the lead who will definitely give you the "uh-oh" feeling. In spirit of these grueling, unsettling films, the hypothesis...

We're going up up UP! To millennial humor and also gut wrenching sobs. It's a weird combo! The first 15 minutes - verryyyy sad. The next half hour? Boring! Then? Funny. Then - sad again! Pete Doctor's "Up" takes you on an emotional journey that produces gut wrenching sobs but then sort of neutralizes out - and baby sometimes thats exactly what you need. And if you don't cry you have to watch baby...

To wrap up season 5 (!!), we sign off with Spike Lee's timeless masterpiece. That's it? That's it. The canted angles, the vibrant colors, the relevancy, the cinematography, the character driven narrative, Mookie's fire fits, the dialogue, the SWEAT, Samuel L. Jackson before he was Samuel L. Jackson, Public Enemy's anthem, the symbolism, Radio Raheem, Rosie Perez dancing her ass off in the opening...

The final chapter of the long running Mission Impossible series! This episode starts with talking about the fifth entry into the series Brad Bird 's "Ghost Protocol" and then takes a turn into us getting our backs blown out at the opening night 4DX experience of The Final Reckoning. We think this movie is about AI? Mostly it's about nuking The Bean, Tom Cruise doing stunts, and getting launched 2...

What's up pawty people! We all know that Christopher Guest is the king when it comes to mockumentaries, and this star-studded one is maybe his most well-known (and dare I say...best?) Along with watching this flick, we really do our doggy due diligence and also watch last year's National Dog Show and compare and gush about our love for the pure showmanship. Harlan Pepper would be proud!

How to Train Your Dragon! The beloved or hated film that launched one of Dreamworks most successful and ongoing franchises as well as a multitude of fanfiction and the crossover theories entitled "Rise of the Brave Tangled Frozen Dragons." Kari and Audrey watch to see if the allure of dragons still holds up, or if it is best left in 2010. We also draw our cats as dragons and decide what their drag...

Imagine being the luckiest girl alive, to then kiss a down-on-his-luck man at a sexy swanky nightclub party, for then all of your luck to disappear and transfer to him. Can't believe it? Well that's EXACTLY what happens in this lost 2000's rom com starring Lindsay Lohan, Chris Pine, and the main reason why Kari picked this movie in the first place... the british pop rock band McFly! It would be ju...

I love when women are hot, blonde, and the funniest person alive! Amazing outfits, cast, soundtrack - House Bunny is sooooo 2000s and sooooo hot. Anna Faris is electric and the absolute heart in a really actually wholesome movie. If you haven't watched I'm begging you to put it on while you do a 25 step self care routine.

Life is a cabaret ol chums! In Bob Fosse's rendition of Cabaret, he perfectly frames Liza Minnelli how she's meant to be framed: in the spotlight darling. This week's episode is Kari's favorite movie and the reason why she's constantly begging to be someone's muse. Liza forever!!!

This week it's Saving Face! An incredibly charming 2004 romcom directed by Alice Wu. And one of Audrey's roommates in college like reallllyyyyyy loved it. And guess what? THEY WERE RIGHT TO!

Christmas movie in summertime! It's crazy how we HAVENT brought to the pod a Tim Burton movie yet, but now we officially have. This week's episode is a cult classic. It's strange and singular, just like Edward himself, and definitely Burton's most personal film to date.
