Where Do I Know Them From?

Do you feel that chill in the air? We’re kicking off the autumn season with the requisite low quality thriller. This week we cover Sam Claflin’s 2021 movie, Every Breath You Take. Far inferior to the song by the Police, this thriller tested our attention spans, our knowledge of ethical psychiatric practice, and our ability to recognize Sam Claflin only by his ear. The plot has more twists and turn...

This one is for the Scrabble girlies! This week Elizabeth and Alexandra are covering Sam Claflin’s 2020 film,  Enola Holmes . Following the adventures of Sherlock Holmes’ younger sister, this movie once again features Sam Claflin playing an anti-reform curmudgeon, but has the added bonus of Millie Bobby Brown attempting to set the record for most fourth wall breaks. This episode is sure to be a do...

When we started this journey, we knew one thing for certain: we love Sam Claflin in a rom com. But every rule has an exception, and even the great Claf himself must be humbled. So, this week, we bring you Love Wedding Repeat— a movie that truly pushes the boundaries of “romantic comedy” by being neither romantic nor funny. Well, actually, it was pretty funny, though not in all the ways it intended...

Isaac Newton once said, “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.” While we cannot know for sure, modern philosophers and hosts of Where Do I Know Them From are fairly certain this phrase was meant to predict the relationship between Greta Gerwig’s  Barbie  and the girlboss feminism movies that came before it. One such movie,  Charlie’s Angels  (2019) stars Sam Claflin,...

Now, gentle listener, we know what you have been thinking: “Sam Claflin is soft boy, play soft roles, when will he try grizzled?” This week, listener. This week. Finally in his 2019 film The Corrupted , Sam Claflin plays a grizzled ex-con trying to get his life back on track. Can Sam play working class? How many British TV actors can you fit in one mediocre movie? And are there special therapists...

This week, we cover Sam Claflin’s 2018 film,  The Nightingale . A break from our typical silliness, this is probably our most sincere episode yet, and we strongly recommend everyone give it a watch (after viewing the content warnings of course). Don’t worry though, we still manage to give you a 3 minute tangent on birds and fangirlish gushing about the sound design and cinematography. Jennifer Ken...

End of summer leaving you feeling unmoored? Remember, it could be worse! This week, Alexandra and Elizabeth discuss Sam Claflin’s 2018 survival film, Adrift. Float along with us as we desperately cling to any symbolism and color theory we can find in this vast, vast ocean of unlikeable characters. This week we will finally answer the question at the forefront of everyone’s mind: What can Sam Clafl...

Who doesn't love a war movie? This week's episode covers Sam Claflin's 2017 film Journey's End. Based on a play of the same name, this movie covers a week in the life of several British officers on the front lines of WWI. While this movie is soul-crushingly depressing, the filmmakers knew exactly the right recipe to keep us crawling back: naive Asa Butterfield, wise Paul Bettany, a...

This one is for all my girlies who love a dark period piece. This week's episode cover's Sam Claflin's 2017 film, My Cousin Rachel . Never did we intend for movies about being in love with your cousin to become a theme on this podcast, and yet, here we are. This film, starring Rachel Weiss, is an adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's 1951 novel of the same name. As we all know, women a...

This week we enter Sam Claflin's war movie era with his 2016 film Their Finest . While the internet feels definitively that this is not , in fact, Claflin's finest film, we sure had a good time discussing it. Covering a propaganda office during World War II, this period piece has one of the more complicated plots we have ever covered. It leaves you questioning everything: the nature of tru...

Fresh off our episode for Love, Rosie we have another movie where Sam Claflin falls in love with a small quirky dark hair girl with great eyebrows. What can we say, the man knows what he's good at. This week's episode covers Me Before You , Claflin's 2016 film co-starring Emilia Clarke star. While not our funniest episode (hard to make a joke about physician-assisted suicide), we do so...

It's a question as old as time: "can men and women really be friends?" For those of us still shackled to the gender binary, this question has yet to be answered, but this week Alexandra and Elizabeth will try. That's right this week we are covering Sam Claflin's 2014 movie, Love, Rosie , perhaps the most iconic besties to lovers flick since When Harry Met Sally . We will laug...

Need a reason to dump your straight white boyfriend? Where Do I Know Them From brings you their episode on The Riot Club .

We lament the audio production studio god...

In perhaps our most anticipated episode yet, Alexandra and Elizabeth cover 3 of the 4 Hunger Games movies, Catching Fire, Mockingjay Part 1, and Mockingjay Part 2 . We dive into the impact of these films on our culture and the psyches of an entire generation of youth, eventually coming to the conclusion that we could run a far more efficient corrupt government than Presidents Snow OR Coin. This ep...

In this episode of Where Do I Know Them From? Alexandra and Elizabeth tackle our first franchise, Snow White and the Huntsman and The Huntsman: Winter's War. These movies were a doozy, listeners, and like always we have some thoughts. Tag along with us as we bravely venture through a thicket of confusing action plot, goopy magic, and feminist imagery. Tune in this week to find out who would wi...

In the beginning, there was Adam. Sound familiar? It's not the Bible, it's our podcast's origin story! Much like the book of Genesis this podcast originated with an Adam -- though a drastically different one. That's right, before there was Saoirse, Alexandra and Elizabeth watched all of Adam Driver's movies. Now, by popular demand, we have recorded an episode covering all the h...

"STOP IN THE NAME OF THE LAW!" It's the Where Do I Know Them From? Season One Finale!!! This week Elizabeth and Alexandra cover the movie that inspired the whole podcast, Saoirse Ronan's 2022 film See How They Run. This movie, inspired by Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap , has all the trimmings of a classic whodunit and so much more... but in like a cool meta way. Tune in this...

Who asked, no one. Who answered, we did. It's another Wes Anderson episode for you guys. That's right for our penultimate episode of our first season we are covering the 2021 film The French Dispatch (of the Liberty Kansas Evening Sun ). Is a movie really pretentious enough if it doesnt have a much longer superfluous version of it's name? This week we will find out as Elizabeth and Ale...

We know what you are thinking, after 25 episodes of us saying "is this character queer coded?" we are finally getting an episode where Saoirse Ronan is playing an explicitly gay character! Elizabeth and Alexandra must be so excited, right? Guess again! Hop on board for another half hour of us talking about whether or not Kate Winslett is MILF material, the ethics of queering straight sto...

And as if that wasn't enough, Alexan...

In this week's episode of Where Do I Know Them From? Alexandra and Elizabeth discuss Saoirse Ronan's 2018 movie, Mary Queen of Scots. In honor of National Women's Day this week we tackle two girl boss monarchs who ultimately fought themselves into oblivion to prove they were just as good as men. The moral? Men are a disease.

On this week's episode of Where Do I Know Them From? Alexandra and Elizabeth discuss Saoirse Ronan's 2017 film On Chesil Beach, and try to pick up the pieces after this film left us in a deep emotional despair. Never did we think that the movie that would make us the most sad would also be our episode with the most sex jokes, but life is funny that way. This movie provoked many big feelings and bi...
