Paid in Puke Podcast!

It's no joke how well Bound holds up. Released in the golden year of American cinema, 1996, Lana and Lilly Wachowski's lesbian crime thriller is a refreshing gem in a sea of films about women who get punished for standing up to men. With a (mostly) smart script, some fun scenery chewing from Joey Pants and Chris Meloni, and of course, the goddesses that are Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon, we give...

On our Series Two opener, we gush about P.J. Hogan's 1994 very Aussie, ABBA-tastic comedy, Muriel's Wedding, starring Toni Collette and Rachel Griffiths. It's the perfect way to celebrate the Time of Valens (aka Galentine's Day). Amy and Cristina count the film among their very favorites, and Baxter had never seen it. Regardless, this viewing brought up some stuff for all three of us! We touch on...

It's the off season but we HAD to do an Oscars Special! Hear our picks for who we think SHOULD grab the gold, who we think we get it instead, and who we think got snubbed for the big 6 categories (Best Pic, Acting, and Directing).  Lots of sh*t-talking Joaquin Phoenix in this episode, if you're into that.   

Sofia Takal's reimagining of the beloved 1974 horror film keeps our yuletides dark (but in a good way)! Black Christmas responds well to a modern social justice revamp, but you'll never guess who DIDN'T like it (hint: #notallmen). Sure, there are some Hot Probs, but it's nothing that hasn't befallen a million dude-helmed horror movies before it. Black Christmas stars Imogen Poots and the absolutel...

We're back in that golden year of cinema, 1996, to discuss Andrew Fleming's one-of-a-kind teenage witch (not to be confused with Teen Witch) escapade, The Craft! It's rife with Hot Probs, but Fairuza Balk's performance cannot be denied. Logan Green* is back in Keggers With Kids, and we also reveal what we would have used witchcraft for in high school (or, in Logan's case, middle school).  And fina...

We dive head-first into Brian De Palma's 1976 horror classic, Carrie, starring Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie! It's Keggers With Kids all episode long as we're joined by 12-year-old Logan Green* to discuss public school sex ed, detail-oriented bullies, and Piper Laurie's one-of-a-kind line readings.  On the Lunchtime Poll, we reveal what we would do with telekinesis. And, for a special treat, check...

In this episode we compare and contrast Alexander Payne's 1996(!) debut, Citizen Ruth (starring the magnetic Laura Dern) with Gillian Robespierre's 2009 debut, Obvious Child (starring our dream BFF, Jenny Slate). Both are about abortion. Who gets it right? Who gets it wrong?  Also, we rant about our pregnancy trope pet peeves and discuss how far into a relationship one waits before they fart in fr...

In this episode, we marvel at F. Gary Gray's under-appreciated 1996 social justice drama, Set It Off, starring Queen Latifah, Vivica A. Fox, Jada Pinkett and Kimberly Elise. Would this movie garner any Oscar attention today, or is it still too devoid of white saviors? We also ask how you would low-key spend your bank robbery money?

In today's episode, we fawn over Lorene Scafaria's 2019 cathartic Wall Street feminist revenge film, Hustlers, starring Constance Wu and Jennifer Lopez.  In our periodic segment, Kent's Two Cents, we learn why Amy's dad thinks this film has "no heroes". We also reveal our pole dance bangers.   

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the 1988 black comedy classic that gave us our motif: Heathers. Does Michael Lehmann's debut hold up in modern times? Find out as 12-year-old Logan Green* joins us in our new sporadic segment, Keggers with Kids. We also marvel at how a man (Daniel Waters) wrote the perfect female-driven teen comedy.  On our Lunchtime Poll, we ask what classic literature wo...

We’re very excited to debut Paid in Puke Podcast! Jessica Baxter, Amy Green, and Cristina bar discuss femme-driven movies such as Hustlers, Set it Off, Carrie, The Craft, and, of course, Heathers! We strive for inclusive feminism and collectively call ourselves The Pukettes. Grab a Cherry Slushee and some BBQ Corn Nuts and join the fun!

In our first episode, we discuss the works of Susanna Fogel, who co-wrote Booksmart (the directorial debut of Olivia Wilde) and wrote and directed The Spy Who Dumped Me. We also wonder what's the worst song on the juke box and do people really lose their virginity to a specific song? Also, what exactly does an 83-year-old white man think of Booksmart?
