Description

Do you and your friends speak in movie quotes? Do you trade Spongebob memes back and forth with your loved ones? Do you have to rely on the ”Are You Still Watching?” message to let you know it’s time to bathe and stop procrastinating? If you answered yes to any (or all) of these questions, come hang out with us every other week!

Media can play a huge role in shaping who we are. Sometimes it makes us idolize Jeff Goldblum as a sex symbol. Sometimes a lack of representation makes you feel invisible. As hosts, siblings Carie and Ross will analyze this phenomenon by breaking down a favorite movie or television show and how the sights, sounds, and messages of media have followed our generation throughout our lives. So pour your favorite beverage, relax, and explore how our shared experiences with movies and television messed us up as a generation. There will be laughter, there will be sadness, and THERE WILL BE discussions about homosexual subtext in children’s animation.

Heavy topic this week, lil onions! This week, the siblings are looking at Ross' favorite Denzel movie, Flight (2012). Following the story of an alcoholic pilot's journey to recovery following a deadly plane crash he may or may not have miraculously have mitigated, Ross focuses very heavily on the decisions of major characters and how their paths divert following that near-death experience. Carie struggles with the high action that accounts for 10% of the movie, and the siblings reflect on how important it is to remember that people can change.  If you or someone you love is suffering from substance abuse, please follow this link to find some help.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON!
BIIIIIG trigger check on today's episode, lil onions. Lots of themes of body dysmorphia, depression, and self-hatred. The siblings are unpacking one of 2024's most jaw-dropping films, The Substance. Featuring Demi Moore in all her former and current glory alongside a stunning performance by Margaret Qualley as her other self (and Dennis Quaid is here doing his best Vince McMahon impression.) We follow one fading actress' desperate attempt to stay relevant when she buys a black market drug guaranteed to create a better version of the self. Carie is obviously very fascinated and disgusted by the body horror elements while Ross slows down on the body dysmorphia, and both siblings ruminate on the film's visual display of self-hatred, and the violence people do to their bodies to feel better about themselves without grappling with their own perspectives on that self.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON!!! 
WOOOOF. Anyone else feeling a little complacent in their relationship, lil onions? That's today's topic de jour. The siblings follow the story of a couple moving from the big city to the middle of East Jesus nowhere where they are beset upon by a mysterious force that compels them to be fused together for life. Ross is befuddled by the lack of McReadiness in the couples' misfortunes, Carie is mystified how a school teacher and out of work musician afforded a house in upstate New York. And the siblings discuss the age old question in many relationships: Do we really love each other, or are we just used to each other? SUPPORT US ON PATREON!
Ross is underwhelmed, lil onions. For our last July coverage, Ross wanted to revisit an old favorite, Clint Eastwood's Absolute Power (1997). Today follows the story of Luther Whitney, a master jewel thief who accidentally witnesses a terrible crime committed by the most powerful man in the world (allegedly). Carie actually finds the movie more entertaining than she remembers, but only when characters aren't speaking. Ross is dismayed again to realize one of his childhood mainstays isn't the boner jam he remembers. And the siblings remark on the batshit bananas plot, and how the ending is unbelievably messy.

It's an experiment today, lil onions. This audio comes to us from a test recording of a filmed episode with the help of our lovely friend, Bailey Shelton. Not sure what we're going to do with it just yet, but in the meantime, please enjoy our noise. Today the siblings break down one of the greatest American comedy classics, Eddie Murphy's Coming to America (1988). Eddie Murphy plays multiple roles for the first time in his career in telling the story of a young African prince who comes to America in search of a bride to avoid an arranged marriage. Between Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall, Ross can't decide who's cuter. Carie feels sympathetic female rage for the lovely Lisa. And the siblings cannot believe how many warm and fuzzies they have about what is otherwise a fool ass film.  SUPPORT US ON PATREON!
