Homedance Film Festival

Oops, it has been a year... Maybe some of you still keep up with this feed? We're back, and it's October, so what better way to celebrate than with a Doctober episode! We get into how amazing literature and Judy Blume is, dudes helping each other to achieve their dreams, and religious trauma all in one episode! I hope you still know how to Sundance because it's time! Trigger warning fo...

Look at us! You didn't know if we'd follow through, huh? Well, we did, and we're discussing an absolutely absurd Hallmark Christmas movie this week. It's got everything you need in a Christmas movie: problematic elements, weird/inaccurate science, questionable medical ethics, and a bunch of horned up moms! The list goes on, but we've got some Sun-er...some Hallmark-Christmas-da...

It's time for a Christmas episode again! Just one movie again this go around, but maybe we'll do a bonus episode next month. Christmas in the Clouds is a Christmassy, screwball comedy! We dig deep into all the tropes of Hallmark Christmas movies as well, and if you stick around until the end you can hear a festive treat: "Christmas at the Laundromat." It's for sure the dumbest...

Something's cooking in the oven! We can smell it. Could it be turkey? No, that's not it. It smells like family dysfunction, terrible people, and misogyny! Oh, boy! We have a nice, warm, feel good Thanksgiving movie for you this week--absolutely perfect for the family gathering...if your family happens to be a raging dumpster fire, that is! This episode is a little shorter than usual so tha...

What's this?!?! A new episode! We're transitioning into deeper holiday and festive vibes, but since it's not quite Christmas and Halloween just ended, we chose a couple of films that have that spooky, eerie tone (disturbing even) and another that is warm and involves pies! Just don't try to understand it...these films feel a little bit autumnal with a dash of Christmas throw in, an...

It's time for another episode! We're talking about a tense thriller, a very entertaining documentary, and a film about some dudes just having fun...or are they? We get a tad unhinged while discussing Watcher and Miss Americana. Look, it's hard not to analyze in depth both Taylor Swift and the different struggles of women, ok? They both inspire a lot of conversation, and we just have a...

Been a while! Summer is finally over, and our recording "studio" is habitable again. We're back to talk about a personal favorite from 2020, something a little spooky, and a biopic that is maybe too conventional? We made a new friend. He's....imaginary, but he says we should all Sundance now. Dinner in America - (05:34) Donnie Darko - (21:21) Elvis - (40:56) You can follow us on Tw...

Another episode in the can, and we're a little weird during this one....ok, more than normal. We discuss one crushing drama with 99 Homes, and then we try to lighten things up a bit with some dumb comedy in Ass Backwards (great title). Does A.I. Artificial Intelligence deliver the same emotional high that Jessica has been chasing for years since seeing Bicentennial Man? Who knows! Well, you&#3...

Oh, hello. It's been 84 years.... Glad to see you haven't completely given up on this podcast. Honestly, how long did you think this pod would go without covering Titanic? It was only a matter of time. We also discuss a sci-fi drama called The Discovery and a very strange dark comedy called Freeway. Do you smell that? It smells like fresh paint....and the open ocean. Follow us on Twitter h...

Call us some parade float dinosaurs because We're Back! This week we're covering just one film called Strawberry Mansion. We also have some post Oscars chit chat at the beginning of the show because why not? It's time to dust off that dream interpretation book because we're heading straight into a surreal fever dream. Oh, and enjoy probably one of the dumbest outros we've ever...

We're back and partially recovered after attending the Sundance Film Festival virtually! We've compiled a list of the ten best films to look out for that came out of this year's festival! Sundance was bringing it this year, so there was a lot to choose from. Dust off your shoes and the butt imprint in your couch because it's time to Sundance! Films listed in this episode: Cha Cha R...

It's time to grab those dancing shoes, everyone, because we're Sundancing...virtually! The 2022 Sundance Film Festival starts this Thursday, and we're very excited about it! So excited, in fact, that we decided to tell you about a few movies playing at the festival that we're very much looking forward to watching. So lace up those shoes tight and limber up your joints! Sundancing c...

It's go time. This week we discuss three movies that you may have heard of...or maybe not. One is nuanced and layered. While another is good for the Thanksgiving holiday, but wait, is that turkey even real? Or is it some sort of program or code that makes your brain THINK it's that juicy? Am I even real?!...Whoa. Which movie is which? Well, you'll just have to find out for yourself! So...

It's our Christmas spectacular episode! Hooray! We're dropping this present off a little early this week to bring you more merriment for your holidays. We discuss the thoughtful, slow-burn indie, Christmas, Again. Plus, we go a little off the rails while attempting to talk about multiple holiday movies that we've watched recently in our "Christmas Free-For-All!". So don't b...

Hello, it's us. We're here with a new episode! We discuss the hilarity of vampires trying to be cool in What We Do in the Shadows and how boundaries are important in Together Together. Plus, we talk in depth about Julia Child! So preheat those ovens to 350! It's about to get hot in this kitchen. Follow us on twitter here!

We're still here! Here's an extra episode in the meantime while we're gearing up for some sort of comeback. That's right we'll be back and the same as ever! Dillon sits down for a quick interview with Edson Oda, the director of the Sundance film, Nine Days. The film premiered at the festival in 2020 and stars Winston Duke, Bill Skarsgard, Zazie Beetz, Tony Hale, and Benedict Wo...

Wow, it's our 20th episode! Sorry this one is a bit of a downer. We would have planned some sort of party if we would have remembered. This week we discuss the frustrations of drugs and addiction with Four Good Days, and we talk about narcissists and how they're the woooooorrrrrrsssst in The Squid and the Whale. Plus, we talk about the mindless thriller, Escape Room, so if you want to shut...

Has it been two weeks already? Back at it again! This week we're getting deep into our feelings while discussing the beautiful and much needed film CODA and the quiet drama Paddleton. Plus, we're getting nostalgic with Mortal Kombat, so choose your fighter and destiny! Did you look up those combo and finishing moves?

Oh, you know we're such a fool for Drew, she's got us wrapped around her finger--oohh.... Yeah, we're talking about another Drew Barrymore movie, Fever Pitch. You can thank (or don't) Jessica. We also discuss a creepy cult movie, Sound of My Voice, by Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, and yes, we talk about The OA more. Plus, we discuss a difficult but great drama, Private Life, sta...

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, and this week we get deep into our feelings as we discuss the legacy of Mr. Rogers and the film, Won't You Be My Neighbor? We also talk about sweet, summer time romance with Sylvie's Love. Plus, we talk about angels....Charlie's Angels. Just call us angel in morning, angel....but hey, don't forget to touch our cheek before you leave. Fo...

We have an announcement about the podcast, and we do a Top Five Countdown that just might get you into the Christmas spirit. Do you have some nog on hand? Follow us on Twitter here!

Alright, alright, alright, it's a new podcast episode. This week we're discussing the near perfect film, Little Miss Sunshine, and we're looking into a doc that explores a music festival that has been largely forgotten, unfortunately, until now with Summer of Soul. Plus, we talk about a laid back film with Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused. So grab a bud and settle in for a fa...

Sweet! It's a new week and a new episode of the podcast! Jessica explains why food movies are so magical during a discussion of Big Night, and we take a stroll down memory lane with Napoleon Dynamite. Plus, a documentary that was maybe less tubular and more of a wipeout. So don't be a frickin' IDIOT, and make sure you have your chapstick because Kip is too busy hanging out in chat room...

It's here. It's now. This week we discuss a film that proves rom-coms can still work with Juliet, Naked. You just have to make them a little indie! We also get dark again with an early Ryan Gosling role in The Believer, but don't worry, Baby Goose never disappoints. Plus, we talk about the ridiculous uniforms they made women wear in the Women's Baseball League in the perfect movie,...

And just like the Terminator, we're back! This week we discuss the heartbreaking film, Fruitvale Station. We also talk about a film that truly embodies the spirit of The 4th of July. That's right, we're talking about The 4th. Plus, we watched quite possibly one of the best coming of age films ever made: Now and Then. Jessica's got that summer time, summer time sadness, so get in lo...
