Ahhh, yes. Time to finally delve into a movie about mutants! “Days of Future Past,” you ask? Nah, been done already. “First Class,” maybe? Pffft, it was just okay… “Logan,” you wonder? Please, don’t be rude. This week the hosts talk about what was clearly the, uh, *best* mutant movie, “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” Uh huh! James and Giselle jump in and discuss what made the 2009 superhero flick so… special… along with semi-rewriting the movie in the process. In other words Julia Sugarbaker should have been in it. Listen and you’ll understand.

Maypoles, shrooms, and bear suits… Oh my! Yep, this week the hosts talk about the very pretty and very creepy “Midsommar.” James and Giselle discuss their individual takes on the story, character motivations, the unique use of horror, and the subtly insidious nature of the community (or “Swedish Death Cult” as the hosts call it). Also, don’t piss on ancestral trees. Bad things happen when you piss on ancestral trees.

And I… Will always looove yoooou! Yeah, we figured we should start the description the same way the movie started. Yes, we are proud. Anyway! This week the hosts talk about “Spiderman: Far From Home.” James and Giselle discuss how the movie does as an individual story, how well it also works as the end cap to this entire MCU Phase, and what makes this particular franchise stand out. Also, can Mysterio become the new Loki, please? Pretty please? Check it out!

Vampire Pomeranians, yes! This week the hosts talk about the ending chapter of the Blade franchise, “Blade: Trinity.” In this episode James and Giselle talk about the origins of the character, the fact that Blade was the first full Marvel movie franchise (hell yeah!), and discuss the differences between the first two movies and the third one. P.S. This episode was recorded before the VERY exciting SDCC announcement of a Blade reboot, but it can be said here that the hosts are pretty damn stoked for it ;)

Everybody has their bad days, right? This week the hosts discuss the movie that captures, hands down, the best fictional mother ever in John Waters’ classic “Serial Mom.” She’s dedicated, loyal, and sometimes commits a little homicide. Nobody’s perfect! James and Giselle talk about what they love about this movie, its satire and subversion of suburbia, ways it has aged well and ways it hasn’t, and how you should never piss off Kathleen Turner.

It’s the fiftieth episode! Whoa! To commemorate this special occasion the hosts decided to talk about a movie that captures pinnacle of 21st century feminism and storytelling, a movie we can all look back on as a society and feel pride. We are obviously referring to 2004’s “Catwoman.” In this episode James and Giselle dive into this delightful little train wreck and discuss its oddly endearing charm, its downright absurdity, Sharon Stone, and how they wish there could be a hybrid of this Catwoman and Netflix’s “You.”

It’s time to go back to the Chilling Adventures of our gal Sabrina and talk about the second season, or second part should we say, of the show! Yeah! In this episode James and Giselle discuss all things season two and touch down on story progression, character choices (some they agree with, some they don’t), representation, “fridging,” and most importantly the ascension of our favorite, Ms Lilith.

Welcome back, everyone! This week the hosts discuss a horror movie neither of them had seen before *gasp*. That movie is the 1972 cult classic “Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things” directed by Bob Clark. Yes, the same Bob Clark that directed “A Christmas Story.” Crazy, right? In this episode James and Giselle break down the movie; Giselle admits that for the first thirty minutes she thought the protagonists were carnies (they’re theater actors), and James is fascinated by the hyper intelligent zombies that specialize in yachting.
