Put It On The List

Never give up, never podcast! In this episode, EV choose to blodly take the rest of the girls where many movie disucssions have gone before: 1999's Galaxy Quest. This sci-fi comedy, serving as a meta-commentary on the value of nerd culture, has had a cult following since it's release and the girls spend this conversation talking about how that commentary has aged, in addition to, y'know, all the good jokes. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss the long-term ramifications of nerd culture escapism, the semantics of what makes something an isekai, and, unfortunately, Tim Allen.

I never considered what would come after podcasting. This episode, Bridget decided to play God by having the rest of the girls watch Guillermo del Toro's recent Frankenstein adaptation. Although divisive in it's execution, it's impossible to deny the artistry and passion on display over the film's runtime. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss the Romantic movement, ableist ideology, and forgiveness as a form of liberation.

Just don't make me think; post it! It was only a matter of time before Jae picked an absolutely miserable movie to subject the rest of the girls too, but she's not alone in finding reverie in Ari Aster's Eddington, as the crew is willfully joined by Friends From The Internet's Zoe! Is it an irresponsible piece of cinema? Does it try to do "both-sides"-ism? Is it just another meditation on the struggle of cishet white men? Or is spending your time posting about these kinds of questions on the internet a futile exercise in feeling empowered when you are irreparably alienated from your fellow humans by said exercise? Join Bridget, EV, Bri, Jae, and Zoe as they discuss the dichotomy of gendered class, humiliation rituals, and the death of media literacy.

She's just podcasting, it's not that impressive. With the first step of Project Mellon out of the way, Bri decided to serve in a wildly different direction and have the rest of the girls watch Jennifer's Body. Despite being advertised at the time as another "Megan Fox is so hot" boner comedy, the director/writer combo of Karyn Kusama and Diablo Cody produced what is now considered a queer cult classic about post-9/11 America. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss MySpace, the indie rock boom of the mid to late 2000s', and the commodification of national tragedies.

One podcast to rule them all. In this week's episode, EV finally pulled the trigger on Project Mellon and the rest of the girls watch the first entry in Peter Jackson's totemic adaption of The Lord of the Rings. It goes without saying these films left a massive imprint of blockbusters in the 21st century, but do they hold any weight beyond their pop culture appeal? Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss the shadow Tolkien casts over genre fiction, homosociality, and, of course, wizards ripping fat clouds

I know an outcome that makes everyone miserable...and it's this podcast! As usual, Bridget brought the rest of the girls back to the world of anime, this time with the compilation film, Kizumonogatari: Koyomi Vamp. Stitching together three films, which were adapting the first part of a lengthy light novel series, Koyomi Vamp tries to tell the story of Araragi and his vampire compadre, Kiss-Shot Acerola-Orion Heart-Under-Blade. Emphasis on the word "tries". Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss the aesthetic ambitions of Studio SHAFT, the dissolution of imperial Japan, and Monster Musume.

Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall podcast till it be morrow. In this episode, Jae decided to inject a little bit of class into what has been an admittedly silly cycle by suggesting the group watches Baz Luhrmann's William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet. In what was undeniably a cultural flash point of the 90s, Luhrmann adapted the classic play into a modern setting in what could only be described as a frantic cyclone of camp. Join Bridget, EV, Bri and Jae as they discuss queer undertones, the value of excellent casting, and Son of the Mask.

You are all my listeners, now! The Delroy Lindo Train cannot be stopped this episode as Bri took the rest of the girls on a trip through Jet Li's The One. A little bit of Highlander, a little bit of Future Wars, and a whole lot of nu-metal, The One is a relic from an era of Hollywood where the dumbest ideas were allowed to exist, so long as they had star power behind them. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss turn-of-the-century politics, ziggurats, and, of course, rats with giant balls.

So, you rob banks and trains, but you can't steal this podcast for a night? After a brief hiatus, all of the girls are back again, this time to discuss a movie actually released in the same calendar year as this recording: Sinners! With all the hype behind this film earlier on in the year, EV felt it was a worthwhile pick for the group to watch and discuss; suffice it to say, this bombastic love letter to music and genre fiction didn't disappoint. Join EV, Bridget, Bri, and Jae as they discuss the blues, the dire state of sexuality in popular culture, and America as an ideal vs. America as a reality.

With our regularly scheduled episodes currently on hold due to Big Moves Happening, Jae figured there has never been a better time to have an in-depth 3-hour long discussion about 2025's totemic visual novel, The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy. However, she couldn't handle such a herculean task on her own, so she invited on Eskay from Two Queers Play (https://www.youtube.com/@twoqueersplay) to help her out. Join the two of them as they discuss the psycho-sexual nature of fascism, choose-your-own-adventure novels, and the liberation of creating art, regardless of its flaws.

It's Monkey Monday! Show me that monkey! For this episode's expedition, Bridget took the rest of the girls into the depths of the Congo with the 1997 film, Congo. While certainly not a good movie, Congo more than makes up for it by being a wildly eccentric piece of technothriller slop. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss the impact of Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park, Jimmy Buffett, and eviscerating monkeys with a laser gun.

If there's any kind of magic in this world, it must be in the attempt of podcasting. In a major tonal shift, Jae felt like it was time for the rest of the girls to learn a little bit about the art of yearning, which means they're talking about Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise; the first entry in the Before trilogy, this film introduces us to Jessie and Celine, a couple of 20-somethings whose chance meeting will lead to a lifelong romance. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss romantic chemistry, the liminality of life, and the ironic detachment of Gen X.

Boy, I never seen four ladies do so much damned podcasting. The girls are getting off the couch and hitting the road because, in this episode, Bri is taking them on a cross-country trip with Beavis and Butt-Head Do America. It may be a stupid movie, but it manages to be so tremendously stupid that the spectacle of these two terrible homunculus teenagers shines brightly. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss the cultural dominance of MTV, anti-humor, and the ineptitude of the U.S. government.Join the Discord! https://discord.gg/bcGMXVvA

You keep what you podcast. The girls are officially running on Diesel because, in this episode, EV had them watch and talk about the 2004 space opera farce, The Chronicles of Riddick. Supposedly, this is a sequel to the sci-fi/horror hit, Pitch Black; however, it plays out more like the vanity project of an edgy D&D nerd trapped in Vin Diesel's body. Wait, nevermind, that's just Vin Diesel. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss whatever is going on with Karl Urban's hair, the ambiguity of play, and the 1985 hit song, "Walk of Life" by Dire Straights.

This podcast started years ago! It took a whole year of episodes, but Bridget was finally able to make the rest of the girls watch an anime movie they all loved: Mamoru Oshii's Patlabor 2: The Movie. With this film, Oshii transforms Patlabor, originally a series of goofy cop shenanigans, into a cold meditation on the concept of "peace" in an era of endless proxy wars. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss blowback, the Tokyo Sarin Gas Attacks, and neoliberal capitalism's inability to respond to problems of their own making.

Is this your podcast, listener? The girls have officially become a real podcast and started their second year of broadcasting. And what better way to kick off the new season than a round table discussion on what is arguably the most iconic comedy of all time, The Big Lebowski. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they chat about post-Reagan politics, recreational marijuana use, and the absurdity of "film theories".

We've reached the end of our first year of podcasting, which can only mean one thing: It's time to craft an arbitrary ranking of the films we watched over the course of that first year!

The Podcast has become so very ugly, don't you think? As the girls reach the end of the first season, EV reveals that there has been a mole in their ranks this whole time; the only way they can solve this mystery is by discussing the 2011 spy-thriller Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. An adaptation of a sprawling novel, the film attempts to condense all of its source material's meticulous details down to a red-string-tattered cork-board. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss the ideology of conspiracy theory, the aesthetics of power, and, of course, cuckolding.

The podcast is not square! Bridget decided to take the girls into The Anime Mines one more time this season and they were not prepared in the slightest for what Gundam Reconguista in G: Movie I — Go! Core Fighter had to offer. As a compilation movie, choices were made of what to include or, more importantly, not include for fresh viewers and the results are mostly catastrophic. Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss Yoshiyuki Tomino, misogyny, and cannibalism

As you podcast...join the girls as Bri reads them a bedtime story about giant rats, Andre the Giant, and The Princess Bride. Despite being a beloved piece of pop culture, Jae has managed to avoid seeing this film for her whole life; will she love it as much as the rest of the group? There's only one way to find out and, in case you weren't aware, that's by listening to the dang episode! Join Bri, Bridget, EV, and Jae as they discuss storytelling, true love, and My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
