Sit Down Loser, We're Watching a Movie

Dear Losers, We're spending the summer at Camp Hiatus! We're having a great time taking a little break. :) That means we won't release any new episodes all summer, but don't be sad - we'll be back! That's a Terminator quote, we think. Anyway, we wanted to leave you with this fireside chat about films we saw this year or didn't, and what we look forward to. Picture ditching the camp counselors, eating s'mores around the campfire, and empty seltzer cans at our feet. We'll miss you, wish you were here, etc.  Have a great summer and don't forget to Live Más! With Love, The Queertet (Skye, Quetzal, Antonio, and Dalia) P.S. If you miss us, listen to our other episodes in the meantime and rate us everywhere you get your podcasts.

We watch one of the most disturbing movies ever created, and to no one’s surprise, it’s a favorite film for Antonio - The Poughkeepsie Tapes (2009). Listen as we sit down and lose part of ourselves while Dalia cries and HEAVILY sighs over the true crime/horror/mockumentary flick that we all immediately repressed. We talk about Disney DILFs, main character energy, looners, fan-fiction terms, serial killers, grave robbing, and the worst parts of humanity.

You can’t find a more emotionally harrowing journey than Dalia watching The Country Bears (2002). One Loser’s trash is another Loser’s bear power! We discourse about how Big Al is THE moment and also about famous bears, Disney lore, Jim Henson, dream band reunions, armpit farters, Property Brother Bear, Betterhead Better Health Papa John’s, and we still owe Cha Cha over there a lot of money!   Find us on social media and wherever you get your podcasts: https://lnk.bio/OX6t

We watch a close-quarters whodunit on a train that’s been there and done that. Who is she? Murder on the Orient Express (2017). We watch as detective Hercule Poirot boards a train with whacky strangers and find out the true meaning of “we should totally just stab Caesar.” We also discuss ohh wig, Michelle Pfeiffer leaving NO crumbs, murder concerts, Antonio’s love for murder mysteries, and yet another jumpscare (Willem, again!). 

Be my little baby! We get the biggest whiplash watching Barbarian (2022) with the world’s most jarring hard cut. And the world’s most jarring baby bottle! We talk a lot about what we would do or wouldn’t do in all these situations, but also chat about our last meals, it’s horror babey, font journalism, emo looks, Paddington, short guy energy, toilet talk, Justin Longifer, and Mother is hot. TW: discussion about sexual violence and sexual assault  Find us on social media and wherever you get your podcasts: https://lnk.bio/OX6t

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore grace our screens yet again for 50 First Dates (2004). Since Episode 9, we’ve awaited the great debate about Sandler/Barrymore romcoms and which is better! In this episode... we find out. We talk about our simple human adult pleasures, Rob Schneider (oop! jumpscare!), hair jealousy, what we would do if we were like Lucy, animal actors killing it, missing french fries, and brown-outs.

Pew, pew, pew! And many more delightful gun sounds in our watch of John Wick (2014). We don’t know if y’all know this but… there’s a dead wife in this. It’s so hard to catch, so you’re welcome for that. We giggle a lot over the handsome Mr. Keanu but also over dinner plans, the taste of revenge, grippy socks, Jonathan kill scenes, club vibes, Tyussy Bayussy, and don’t forget about the dead wife.

Our queen runs the longest of cons in Gone Girl (2014). The finesse, the details, the tenacity… your fave could never. It doesn’t hurt that this movie includes the dong heard around the world. We also scheme about unforgettable moments, ghost stories, hidden Dunkies, games of intrigue, the greatest monologue of all time, our collective mental illness, gummy wars, and Barney Star.

Presenting… Miss Jean Jacket. She really is the moment in Nope (2022) and we maintain that she did NOTHING wrong. This movie really had us holding onto our horses while staring at clouds a little bit harder. Come bow to this alien superstar and listen to us chit-chat about bad bitching too hard, horrific soundscapes, horse boys, so much barking, and our fav Peele movies.

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with the Losers’ crying over He’s Just Not That Into You (2009)! There’s a lot of real talk about relationships, but there’s mostly a lot of shout outs to goofy Justin Long. If you aren’t the exception like us, there’s also talks on the brain-melting marriage question, A Cinderella Story, Colin Yost, bussin’ it open, Jeepimus Creepimus, slow burns, and our culminating love song.

Turns out that when you put EVERYTHING on a bagel, you get some sick lewks. Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) had us laughing, crying, and verse-jumping. One of the greatest movies of the year deserves our mind-splintering discussions on Office personalities, asking cannibals to sit down, the secret Genius Bar, multiverse pork, meet-evils, and how a beret changes your friends.

Cars go real fast… we learned that quickly during our viewing of The Fast and the Furious (2001).  The meaning of a ten second car eluded us for a moment, but we got there! We also put the pedal to the metal with conversations about dudebro chokeholds, Titane, car SFX, Vending Machine Diesel Truck, bionic Honda Civics, will Lightning McQueen go to Heaven?, and Quetzal mixes reality with fanfic.  Find us on social media and wherever you get your podcasts: https://lnk.bio/OX6t

How DO you measure a year? We find out as half the gang falls for (and continues to hate) Broadway's quintessential queer musical - Rent (2005). Friend of the pod, queer pal, and musical expert AJ joins us as we discuss gay cinema tropes, Dalia’s “favorite” friend, wack performance art, Jellicle cat muggings, and how many times Antonio can fit that infernal number into conversation.

Meet us at Ye Olde Donut Time! We watched the most stressful Christmas movie of all time: Tangerine (2015). Sometimes the true meaning of the holidays is just not to be trippin’. We run through the streets of LA screaming about Santa standards, the Holy Trintity of Jam Ramcom, Raccacoonie, anti-Everspring propaganda, car holidays, boo boo, the Duplass duplicity, lots of crystal meth, no dice, and walking songs.

There’s something galloping at us in the woods… and I think we’re lost! Join us for our first cross contamination with Claire from Why the Flick as we watch The Blair Witch Project (1999). We got pushed to be real movie podcasters for once! We also discuss early found footage, A-list dinos, our first spooks, a galloping witch, many movie mentions, a Horror Nights recreation, and post-movie scaries.  Find us on social media and wherever you get your podcasts: https://lnk.bio/OX6t Follow Why The Flick @whytheflick on Instagram, TikTok and Twitter.

O Captain! My Captain! Who knew Dead Poets Society (1989) would make us so emotional? These dang boys and their sweet friendship! We go through such a journey with the magnetic Mr. Keating but don’t worry, we still find time to secretly meet up in a cave and talk about the official Losers Club candles, Gators and Goats, Degrassi, good boy hair, teacher cringe, and the Dead Pants Society.  Find us on social media and wherever you get your podcasts: https://lnk.bio/OX6t

Want to hear about ascots and real-life spooks? Join us on our watch of Zodiac (2007) and find out if they finally catch him! Maybe this time! Maybe? Amongst the twists and turns of detective work, we also consider our Gallstones plans, mainstream true crime, Jaketh, fucking your food, The Most Dangerous 69, meaty thighs, the D.A.R.E. cult, and a Mark Ruffalo appreciation tangent.

The dolls are ~ dolling ~ in Dead Silence (2007) and while some of us cackled our way through it, others screamed so much they hurt themselves. Real spooks are captured on audio as well as unhinged conversation about chicken scraps, unpublished Dr. Seuss, Antonio being out of pocket, the perils of sharing a brain cell, The Walmart Burger Empire ft. Johnny and Danny, Frank scares Quetzal, Dalia’s sexy voice, and Voldemort vs Mary Shaw. You can follow Jenna @LucipurrBinx on social media!

Could this movie be the perfect flim? We think MAYBE! Follow us as we bounce out of frame and into Crescent Cove with a K (well after the Klowns are done with it) as we talk Killer Klowns From Outer Space (1988). Listen to the Klown discovery of the decade from resident skeptic, Antonio. Hear us go through countless tangents, mind shacks/basements/townhouses, weapons of mASS destruction, and the secret way to say “mittens.” Find us on social media and wherever you get your podcasts: https://lnk.bio/OX6t

O’Connell! We are the harbingers of the Brendan Fraser renaissance with The Mummy (1999) and it feels good. Lots of nerding around for our two resident Egyptologists along with talks of Dalia and Quetzal’s tumultuous past, bi panic, I Spy trauma, our Universal monster lovers, Miss Herbie, organ arguments, jerky mummy, our personal plagues, exploring potential fic, and a 17-year friendship is tested.
