wth is this movie. I'm glad I listened to this and didn't watch the movie
Amanda Montell in The Bechdel Cast is the greatest crossover.
for the first few minutes, I was mixing up The Apartment with The Room, and was deeply confused
1 hour 37 minutes : Khadija would like "Camp Damascus " by Chuck Tingle
In the early 90s or late 80s, there was an animated series for children called "Cities of Gold." My sister and I watched it religiously. We've never found another living being who remembers it existed. I imagine it probably aged very poorly. If anyone else remembers this show, I'd appreciate confirmation that we didn't just hallucinate it.
on the name Crystal, it is currently treated as a very feminine name but has waxed and waned over time as a name for boys, too. (I'm non binary and I love names that do that). It also has increased recently as a name given to baby boys, which I credit more awareness of binary gender being an illusion
I so loved this ep because I’ve had no one to talk to about this movie, put I particularly love how Cate says ‘het’rosexual’, as it explicitly reminds me of being in a situation where I’m on my best straight behavior because I don’t know how the room feels about queers.
don't do my boy like this. Edward G Robinson never named names to huac. he was brought before the committee and said he wasn't a communist, but he never named names
I don't know if the Maltins were quite the right people to talk to about this one
wow. tough listen. why even do an episode if you don't want to engage with the text?
Prop was the right guest for this episode. I loved it.
My movie I love, but can’t bare to watch again is Melancholia. The overwhelming, increasing dread is so real.
Have you talked about Seperation by Asghar Farhadi? Or The Salesman?
...Alan Cumming
I grew up in an orthodox jewish environment and Saved! exposed all the hypocrisy of religious fundamentalism. It was awesome that you covered this and fleshed out all the truth in this movie... the good and bad truth (fuck fatphobia)
I see Elsa as ace representation. with a son who is asexual I like to see representations of those who are as well.
The hosts' inability to disagree with their guest, who clearly has a totally different opinion about the Seymore character was embarrassing to listen to.
Subtitle: Leonard Maltin mansplains & talks over the hosts.
this is one of my favorite episodes ever! I've listened to it multiple times because it makes me so happy!
Will be joining the matreon after this fun episode.
