Thank you to @emmabelk @eevikorhonen_ and @kimberly.keegann for fueling our rage this week with your suggestion! La La Land more like Blah Blah Bland am I right ladies....? Probably not because this movie is actually highly critically acclaimed.

Mega spoiler alerts and content warnings ahead, do not listen if you have not seen and ever plan on watching the 2016 South Korean film The Handmaiden, and major content warnings, this film contains very sexually explicit and potentially upsetting material (suicide, sexual assault, attempted rape). WITH THAT BEING SAID, we love this movie, and love that it's based on a book written by queer a...

HAPPY PRIDE this month we're covering all movies that have an LGBTQ person as the director/screenwriter/some major role in the production other than acting. So to kick it off, mostly becasue we're so excited about Bottoms (coming out in August (same director/lead actress)) this week we talked about all iconic 78 minutes of Shiva Baby. Next week we will be joined by the awesome hosts of t...

We honestly didn't feel like watching Sophie's Choice this week so instead of MAY-ryl its Mini-May to end the month with a random episode with no real topic. We chat about what television shows and podcasts we've been consuming, as well as newly released movie trailers that have us excited, as well as some listener Qs and our As to those Qs. I was totally wrong, Movies That Raised U...

Content warnings for this episode: This movie deals primarily with addiction and substance abuse, as well as unhealthy familial relationships. Releasing all the endolphins this week with the 1990 semi-audio-biographical novel turned film Postcards From The Edge.

MAYryl Streep continues with Greta Gerwig's 2019 rendition of Little Women. Meryl Streep as a disapproving matriarch? How groundbreaking.  TikTok: @theswamppodcast Our website: https://www.the-swamp-podcast.com/ Instagram: @theswamppod Twitter: @theswamppod Our Letterboxd Accounts: @okaydara and @ekievra YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv794Q8FKCMaBThxuWIZwIQ Email: theswamppod@gmai...

It's MAYryl Streep y'all, and we're kicking it off with this campy classic. When two immortal but also discased queens come together to maximize their joint slay? Now THAT'S what I'm talking about.

Snap out of it! This week Emily chooses one of her all time favorites and gets Dara thinking about Italian people and why they love the moon so much. Make yourself a pasta fazool and be sure to message us with all your suggestions and recommendations <3 Our website: https://www.the-swamp-podcast.com/ Instagram: @theswamppod Twitter: @theswamppod Maya’s Twitter: @madmaxmayaxx TikTok: @theswamppo...

Would it really be Emily month if we didn't get a little too drunk and talk about The Hunger Games trilogy? Apologies for lack of diction and lack of chocolate or vanilla this week, Jen's audio was fubar and we indulged our inner Haymitch while recording. And shouts out to both our wonderful guest Maya, and everyone who sent in questions! Our website: https://www.the-swamp-podcast.com/ I...

Emily kicks this month off with her first pick, the 2002 biopic Frida. Is that Diego Rivera or is that Doc Ock? Content warning for this episode: Harvey Weinstein (and all the crap that comes with that) (just a heads up).

Ending Menu March with a drinking movie, the Oscar winning Danish film Druk, or Another Round. Content warning for this episode, we discuss substance abuse and binge drinking. But most importantly we talk about the force that is Mads Mikkelsen. (A lovely listener from Denmark has immediately corrected me that the language spoken in this movie is Danish, not Dutch. I’m so sorry for being an uncultu...

Is covering this movie for Menu March a bit of a stretch? Yes. Did covering The Menu last week put us in a Ralph Finnes mood and the perfect segue to this movie?  Also yes. Join us in the whimsical decorated world of Wes Anderson this week with The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Order's up! Emily's partner Maya joins us this week where we cover the 2022 dark comedy The Menu. One podcast episode... TO GO please...

When you flip anything, you just have to have the courage of your convictions, so this week we're courageously flipping into the 2009 film Julie & Julia for Menu March! Sorry this episode is a bit late, it's international women's day so you have to forgive me.

Jon Favreau's self insert fantasy movie that includes fourteen minute shorts of grilled cheese grilling and cheesing. Kicking off Menu March (shouts out listener Xochi for the great month theme idea!) with this food filled film.

Name something more terrifying than the human race. Or more specifically, Evangelical Christians from Middle America who run Jesus camps that aim to turn children into soldiers of god? Stepping out of our usual box and covering the 2006 documentary Jesus Camp this week to end Freaky February!

We're continuing Freaky February with Jordan Peele's most recent film Nope!

The only freaky thing about this movie is deciding if I'm more attracted to Jeff Goldblum or Geena Davis... JUST KIDDING there are too many freaky things to count going on here. Getting down and dirty for Freaky February with the body horror king himself David Cronenberg.  Our website: https://theswamppodcast.com/ Instagram: @theswamppod Twitter: @theswamppod TikTok: @theswamppodcast Our Lett...
