Welcome to the main event of Barbenheimer Month of the podcast!

Join Hayley and I for the first episode of Adaptation Good or Adaptation Bad?, where Hayley and I look at a book and one of its film adaptations, in order to assess and compare the two and wonder if the film succeeds as an adaptation.

Ep. 23 Pride 2024: Queer Horror (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge/Jennifer's Body) 02.07.2024 34:52
Back with another episode of the podcast for Pride! This week, I wanted to look at my favorite genre, horror, and examine how its existed through queering, with one example being explicitly queer and the other an example of queer-coding. Both movies are favorites of mine and while one is beginning to receive respect, the other deserves more! If you want to submit a movie recommendation, please fil...
Ep. 22 The Works of Rachel Sennott and Emma Seligman (Shiva Baby/Bottoms) 21.06.2024 31:36
Time for the second episode of Pride! Although both of these films are new, Rachel Sennott have made such an impression on me with two wildly different films, that they felt perfect to have featured on this newest episode of the podcast with Shiva Baby and Bottoms! Please enjoy! If you want to submit a movie recommendation, please fill out this Google Form ! And for 3 dollars a month, you can supp...
Ep.21 Pride 2024: Gregg Araki/Todd Haynes (Mysterious Skin/May December) 10.06.2024 35:47
Welcome everyone to the first episode of Pride for 2024! While only one of these films is queer, both were made by queer directors, both are favorites of mine, and obviously, while this is a heavier episode than typical for the podcast, I do think it was important to cover both movies. Please enjoy this episode, and stay tuned for the rest of the Pride episodes of the podcast as we transition epis...
Ep. 20 The 25th Maryland Film Festival (Secret Mall Apartment and More!) 29.05.2024 35:52
At the beginning of May, I got the opportunity to attend the 25th Maryland Film Festival after the festival being gone last year and I got to see some really amazing films that previously played at Sundance, SXSW, and Fantastic Fest, and some of them have release scheduled planned, have distribution, and some need to find a home so you can all watch them! *Apologies for the audio issue that happen...
Ep. 19 Elvis Vs. Elvis (Elvis/Priscilla) 15.05.2024 29:39

Ep. 18 The All-Americana Road Trip (The Muppets Movie/Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me) 16.04.2024 41:59
Welcome everyone to easily my favorite episode of the podcast so far, as I talk about one of the most formative films of my younger years and a film that profoundly changed my life by helping me dive into the work of one of my favorite directors. It was impossible to cut any of the audio speaking about my love of The Muppets, Jim Henson, Twin Peaks, or David Lynch! Please enjoy this episode and ag...
Ep. 17 The Life and Death of Lydia Tár (Monster Hunter/Tár) 01.04.2024 19:03
Hello everyone, thank you for joining me for a more somber episode as we examine the life and death of Lydia Tár and one of her proudest contributions to the world of film, creating the score for the Monster Hunter movie, and talk about her mediocre, Oscar-bait, fear-mongering biopic, Tár. Please be kind as we share about her life. *I appreciate everyone's willingness to let me joke just a bi...
Ep. 16 Listener's Pick #2 (The Witches of Eastwick/Safe) 19.03.2024 32:34
We are back with the second Listener's Pick episode of the podcast! Thankfully, I had seen both of these films and was able to revisit them both in time for the podcast, and if you have ever wanted to hear me openly wonder if a film was extremely feminist or falling victim to the male gaze, question if Jack Nicholson could pull Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfieffer all at once with them...
Ep. 15 2024 Oscars Recap 12.03.2024 26:47
By far the quickest an episode has gone from recording to being uploaded, this is the Oscars recap episode. I speak in this episode about how I made some of my predictions, the predictable nature of the Oscars, if that will continue, the musical performances, the atrocity that is Jimmy Kimmel's standup routine, The Boy and the Heron, The Zone of Interest, and Lily Gladstone's sad loss. I...
Ep. 14 Hayley (My Spouse) and I's Three Favorite Romantic Films (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind/Your Name) 02.03.2024 42:52
What better time to listen to a Valentine's Day episode of the podcast then *checks notes* two weeks late and in March! But seriously, thank you all of course for the flexibility in this episode, this was the second go-around recording due to tech issues the first time and it came out wonderful! And of course, thank you to Hayley for joining us this episode and you can expect Hayley as a regu...
Ep. 13 Young Queer Love (Blue (2002)/Show Me Love) 09.02.2024 37:34
Two of my favorites and also for a long time, two films only available through 360p copies on Youtube. I also give some extended thoughts on my time at the Virtual Sundance Festival, some of my favorite films, technical issues that plagued my experience, and then jumped into these two really amazing and under seen queer films! There is a balance between these two movies, one is extremely calm and...
Ep. 12 A Tribute to Zac Efron (High School Musical/The Iron Claw) 25.01.2024 32:43
This episode started largely as a meme, but I had lots of fun with it! It's cool to pay tribute to an actor who has deserved a lot more credit in his career through two films that sit in similar themes and are both sports films. I had many more hot takes about High School Musical than I was expecting, especially about the performances and the music. I really hope you all love this episode, be...
Ep. 11 A24 2023 Recap (Past Lives/Close/Earth Mama/All 2023 A24 Films!) 11.01.2024 25:40
Welcome everyone to the first episode of the podcast for the year and for this episode, I wanted to talk about the great work of one of the companies that has supported me the most in the previous year, A24! Overall, I recommend many of these films and I think I do a great job of giving a little bit of an idea for each, as well as ones I may not recommend as highly. I do want to note, I keep sayin...
Ep. 10 A Queer Christmas Special (Spencer/Tangerine) 29.12.2023 27:31
Deeply apologize for the delay everyone, I have a cat who just recently had surgery and is now recovering. Even if you don't celebrate Christmas and even though it is after the fact, Spencer and Tangerine are lovely films for any time of the year. I speak about them enough this episode, but thank you all for this wild year, and see you for the A24 episode in 2 weeks! If you want to submit a m...
Ep. 9 The Perspective of Children (The Florida Project/Aftersun) 11.12.2023 26:13
Welcome back everyone! I accidentally picked two A24 films this week that are some of the most emotionally devastating films I could have covered for the podcast today, whoops! Both of these films are some of my favorites of all time and they are also unique because of their focus on the perspectives of children, a viewpoint that's often trivialized in scriptwriting and one that is rarely the...
Ep. 8 Conflicted Interests (Anatomy of a Fall/Decision to Leave) 28.11.2023 28:00
Welcome back everyone, this is easily my favorite episode that I have ever done for the podcast! To talk about two more recent films, one an upcoming awards season contender, another a film that deserved so much more credit during the last awards season. Decision To Leave is one of my favorite films of all time and it is shocking a film from a legend like Park Chan-wook is so underwatched and as A...
Ep. 7 Terror of the Kaiju (Shin Godzilla/The Host) 14.11.2023 29:05
Welcome to the second of our two horror-themed episodes for Halloween (it's November now, but shhhhhh)! It's weird to have found two kaiju films both centered around the existence of a poor and disorganized government, but I am glad Shin Godzilla and The Host are those two films. Also, weird this is the second podcast episode I have done about a film called The Host. There are only mino...
