How Have You Not Seen

This week we’re shifting gears DRASTICALLY and talking the 1979 classic, The Muppet Movie. Kermit is maybe one of our best living actors. What exactly is Gonzo? Who is your favorite Muppet? This episode is the DEFINITION of a REAL GOOD TIME!  A HUGE thank you to Kalie McAlexander for our social media.

This week, we are covering Sofia Coppola’s sophomore feature starring Bill Murray & Scarlett Johansson, 2003’s Lost In Translation. This film follows Johansson & Murray as they meet while following their individual journeys that have led them to Tokyo. Through Coppola’s signature style, the two form a bond that is as unlikely as it is meaningful.  A HUGE thank you to Kalie McAlexander for our social media.

St. Patricks’ month comes to MAYBE the most upsetting possible conclusion; This week we are discussing David Slade’s 2006 film ‘Hard Candy’. Starring Patrick Wilson, Elliot Page, and Sandra Oh, this film draws a wildly striking resemblance to Emerald Fennel’s ‘Promising Young Woman’. Good, bad, and ugly, this film makes for some excellent conversation.  A HUGE thank you to Kalie McAlexander for our social media.

St. Patricks’ month continues this week with Joel Schumacher’s 2004 musical movie ‘The Phantom of the Opera.’ There are SO many CHOICES made in this movie, good, bad, or indifferent. Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote a WEIRDLY auto-biographical musical, and then turned it into a weirdly auto-biographical movie. Patrick Wilson is our shining light and always will be. The theatre kids are out in full force this week, but we promise it’s a REAL good time!  A HUGE thank you to Kalie McAlexander for our social media.

T his is our annual awards show where we debrief on everything the Oscars did right and/or wrong, award our favorite films of the year, and look at the year ahead! After a wild 2023, it was a joy to sit down and look back on what was a pretty dang good year in movies. Hope y'all enjoy!

This week we are discussing 2011’s Crazy, Stupid, Love. This movie is one of the most chaotic things to ever exist, with a STUPID stacked cast- Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, and Marisa Tomei to name a few. This film swings from charming/fun to disgusting/illegal and settles somewhere FIRMLY in the middle. We play a truly excellent game of Recast It this week and get into a firm debate. Is Steve Carell hot in this movie?? This episode is a REAL good time!  A HUGE thank you to Kalie McAlexander for our social media.

This week, we are discussing the Daniel Radcliffe & Zoe Kazan romantic comedy, What If. (Also known as The F Word) This film is maybe the most aggressively 2013 thing ever made. But, it’s still a lot of fun despite this! It’s got Adam Driver, fresh off of girls, re-treads some themes from When Harry Met Sally, and makes our entire show feel ANCIENT. It’s only been 11 years, but the costumes in this thing have aged like sour milk. Regardless, this episode and conversation is a REAL good time!  A HUGE thank you to Kalie McAlexander for our social media.

HAPPY LOVE MONTH! We’re kicking off the Valentine’s season by discussing Ang Lee’s 1995 Jane Austen adaptation ‘Sense and Sensibility’. Emma Thompson’s adaptation is our newest entry into the comfort film pantheon. Between Hugh Laurie, Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Imelda Staunton, and Alan Rickman (I’m positive someone is left off this list), this film is truly a study in all great British actors.  A HUGE thank you to Kalie McAlexander for our social media.

WE. ARE. BACK. AGAIN covering James Cameron’s 1991 classic, Terminator 2: Judgement Day. This episode has it all, Corey becomes a communist, we obsess over this being maybe the COOLEST movie ever, and we somehow talk about Rudy Giuliani, Sarah Palin, and the novel Coronavirus. Most importantly, it’s a REAL. GOOD. TIME.  A HUGE thank you to Kalie McAlexander for our social media.

WE. ARE. BACK. Kicking off Jimuary (Our mini-series on James Cameron), we welcome Katie Booze-Mooney of the ‘One Kiss Means Forever’ podcast. Katie had never seen the 1984 classic, The Terminator. We had a blast this week discussing action, Linda Hamilton, how love is represented in this movie/beyond, and playing a killer game of Rotten Tomatoes Price is Right. It’s a REAL. GOOD. TIME.  Follow ‘One Kiss Means Forever’ on Twitter (or X), Instagram, and Facebook @1kissmeans4ever.

This week, we’re covering one of the biggest blind spots on our show EVER. Caroline hadn’t seen Frank Capra’s 1946 classic, It’s A Wonderful Life. Is this a Christmas movie? Does James Stewart’s performance in this automatically win him a Seenie? Is Zuzu an absurd name for a child? We cover all of this and more! It’s a REAL. GOOD. TIME.  A HUGE thank you to Kalie mcalexander for our social media.

This week we are discussing Todd Haynes’ 2015 classic, ‘Carol.’ Cate Blanchett & Rooney Mara turn in devastatingly beautiful performances. Kyle Chandler plays the most aptly named character in the history of cinema. And, we play an incredible round of recast-it that ranges from former community stars to dudes with real square heads. It’s a REAL. GOOD. TIME.  A HUGE thank you to kalie mcalexander for our social media.

It’s Kalie’s week, which means we’re getting cultured and talking about a depression era comedy! This week, we cover Ernst Lubitsch’s 1940 classic, The Shop Around the Corner. On a scale of 1-10, how hot is James Stewart? We dive headfirst down the rabbit hole of having Letterboxd as a dating app. This is a wide-ranging episode, but a REAL. GOOD. TIME.

This week, we are discussing  Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s 2006 masterpiece, The Lives of Others. In a season full of record lengths, the first half of this episode clocks in as a record short! Carson hadn’t heard of this film and knew nothing about it! Spoilers- This only makes the second half of our episode even  better! It’s a real good time!  A special thank you to our patrons- Lola Lirola, Carrie Betts, Sherry Betts, J.D.

This week we are discussing Martin Scorsese’s 1985 hit, After Hours. This week we fawn over Marty’s career. If a film this good is in your b-tier, WTF is your career? Do you think Scorsese has made the best film of every decade for the last five decades? Do you HATE that take? Are you a Catherine O’Hara stan??  This episode is a REAL good time!  A special thank you to our patrons- Lola Lirola, Carrie Betts, Sherry Betts, J.D.
