Strange Bedfellows

If you can't see without your glasses, put them on now because you're going to want to be fully present for our discussion of this absolutely bee-yutifal movie about two sweet kids, at least 50 percent of whom will live through the summer of 1972 to see Nixon's reelection. There's also a very nice poem in this one. Music credits: "In a Dubstep," by FAS Sounds “Typewriter Blues,” by AllenGrey "Trag...

This week, a film that is about so much more than dancing, but the dirty kind. To be clear, it's mostly about the dirty kind of dancing — that's really the main thrust of what the film's about — but also more. Like, did you know that the sequel to this movie was written by some guy from some other thing? Wow. Interesting stuff. Also, Jeff and Elmer are back. We missed those guys! Music credits: "M...

"The Bromance Book Club" is a fun, funny, and sexy novel about a group of men who help their friend save his marriage with the help of tropes from the saucy romances they read together. It has absolutely no connection whatsoever with either the 1984 animated film The Transformers: The Movie or the more recent live action Michael Bay Transformers movies, so while some light discussion of those lova...
