Put It On The List

It's been a while! In this episode, Bri takes the rest of the girls on a musical tour through Dave Grohl's directorial debut Sound City, focused on the titular recording studio (amongst other subjects). A favorite of the genre to Bri, the rest of the girls were less than pleased with this viewing experience for a whole slew of reasons. Join Bridget, Ev, Bri, and Jae as they discuss the responsibility of being an authority figure, how ideology functions in relation to historical documentation, and most importantly Boomer rock.

Podcasting was just a red herring. In honor of the immensely talented Tim Curry, EV had the rest of the girls watch through Clue, an adaptation of the board game by the same name. Through a razor sharp script and the Herculean efforts of it's ensemble cast, this film serves as a perfect blend of comedy and murder mystery. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss the art of adaptation, Umineko no Naku Koro ni, and hypothetical Kingdom Hearts worlds.

God is dead, baby! This episode, Bridget took the girls back down into the anime mines and they found a portal leading straight to hell. The 2008 animated feature, HELLS, to be specific. What starts off feeling like a stereotypically hyperactive anime comedy, this film is actually a trojan horse for the staff to explore Western theology through the lens of Eastern theology. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss pushing boulders uphill, the aesthetics of Hot Topic, and the gamble of adaptation.

What's so bad about podcasting with me? In this episode, Jae felt like everyone had too much of a jovial time with the last movie choice, so she had the crew watch the smash horror hit of the summer, Obsession. One half Twilight Zone, one half I Think You Should Leave, and 100% litmus test for sussing out untrustworthy men in your life, this movie is a rollercoaster of emotions not made for the faint of heart. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss incel psychosis, Hell's Customer Service Representatives, and Trans Ally, J. Jonah Jameson.

Gotta cast! Gotta cast! In this episode, Bri attempted to make good on her Ishtar crimes by making the rest of the girls watch 1952's classic musical, Singin' in the Rain. Easily one of the most iconic pieces of cinema from the 20th century, Singin' manages to transcend beyond simply being the height of old Hollywood's production power, instead being an uproariously funny movie about (and made by) outrageously talented people struggling with the ever-changing landscape of Hollywood and it's fraught connection with artisans. Join Bridget, EV, Bri, and Jae as they discuss eating bugs, the sexism of the '50s, and why you should never respect law enforcement.
