Explain It Me

Who loves cults and aliens? Donna sure as hell doesn’t! That's why it was torture for her to have to sit while Stephany talked about The Endless! “Lost Highway sounded like a better movie than this” -Donna. Get ready to be confused from beginning to end as we discuss Kraken creatures in lakes that love taking photos. And also members that never age, car batteries, burner phones, and who could forg...

This one starts with a bang! From being shot by an Iraqi child in the middle of a military zone. Buckle up everyone as Donna describes this very dumb, very depressi spagessi movie where using time travel means it's ok if you sleep with that child you rescued in the future because she's grown now. This week we are doing The Jacket staring the attractive (we think?) Adrien Brody. War, murder, psychi...

Are you there God? It’s me, Stephany, and I just want to know why you let children get cancer and why this movie exists? This week brings us David Lynch’s Lost Highway as well as Stephany’s painful retelling of this movie as this was her first Lynchian experience. What the hell was this movie about? Donna could not tell you if her life depended on it, that’s how confusing it was. We suffered so yo...

WARNING: This is one of our last episodes that have particularly bad sound/background noise. We apologize in advance. Ever felt like you’ve had a past life, one where you were perhaps a talented rap star from Boston? But now you find yourself playing a schizophrenic Japanese sword-wielding action hero, bro? Neither did we! Listen up as Donna explains (terribly) the plot of Infinite. A movie where...

Trying to disarm a bomb may be boring, but this episode definitely isn't! Just another normal day where someone’s trying to blow up a city. This week, Steph has the amazing task of going through the movie Source Code! Come on this adventure where we relive the same moment over and over again with nothing on our side but a train car Dunkin Donuts and a 2006 T-mobile pay-as-you-go phone for our inte...

Do you remember what it was like being a moody teen in your suburban neighborhood? Did you have a grown man as an imaginary friend? Were your parents clueless as to where you were while you were sleepwalking all night?  In this week's episode, Donna has the honor of diving into the film Donnie Darko: a film about time travel, religion, pedophilic motivational speakers,  and teenage boys who are ju...

Have you ever wanted to go on a cross-country road trip in Crocs? Well, Jessica did and she got herself into a White Woman POV traveling nightmare. Join us as Stephany tries to explain to Donna the physics of a stick going through your foot, and how not to go on a road trip alone! Remember kids, never roll down your window for strangers, 300 miles might take you 5 days to travel, and never tell an...

Remember the time when Vince Vaughn was hot despite one of us calling him 7 head? A time when psychological thrillers didn’t need to make sense because famous pop stars were the lead roles? A time when albino dog fur could be used to catch serial killers? Hop in the time machine because this week we’re going back to the year 2000 so Donna can recall the movie The Cell. That God-awful movie with te...

There can be only one… person who understands this film and neither of them is us! This week Steph is taking us to bonnie Scotland to tell us the magical tale of the film Highlander. Come with us as native New Yorkers learn together that Madison Square Garden does in fact have a parking garage. How many sword fights happen down there, we don’t know! (Donna guesses at least a few!) Get your magic j...

A butterfly flaps it’s wings and Ashton Kutcher loses his arms and legs forever according to this movie. This week, Donna has the most amazing job of telling Stephany from beginning to end, 2004’s The Butterfly Effect. We will gloss over the fact that Donna watched the wrong ending, because we are pretty sure it would be crap no matter the ending. So grab your jail journals as we talk about mailbo...

Mel Gibson fought for Scotland’s freedom as well as our right to get drunk and retell history completely wrong. In this episode, Stephany gets to share the very sad (and true-ish) story of Braveheart. Come with us as we describe this gory story in the worst Scottish accents you’ve ever heard. We laugh, we cry, Steph is baffled that Donna still doesn’t know when guns were created. But by the end of...

Can you think of the greatest gift you ever received? We bet it’s better than whatever the hell Michael Douglas gets in this movie…. keys??? In this episode we’re doing David Fincher’s The Game, a movie Donna forgets to mention he directed. (Party Foul) Come along for the fun as Donna gets drunker by the minute and leaves poor Stephany confused from beginning to end. It will leave everyone shoutin...

Imagine one day your dead father contacts you on an old radio and instead of telling you what the meaning of life is or how proud he is of you, he asks you to help him catch a serial killer. This week, Stephany has the brain-meltingly difficult task of explaining this convoluted film involving (you guessed it) EVEN MORE time travel! Frequency is about family connections, mysteries, and the Amazing...
