The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Man, that Jesse’s a dick. But he does, indeed, have the ingredients. Here we speak on the legendary legend and cold reality of Jesse James. We’ve got strong feels that casting Brad Pitt (MO boy) as Jesse James (MO boy) was a good move. And we’re loving Casey Affleck as Bob Ford. Furthermore, let us not overlook Casey’s beautiful glass skin, my brothers and sisters. HIS SKIN. We hit on a few burning questions: Do they even make outlaws like they used to? Do you brush your teeth nekkid? A blumpkin...

Barbarian

All hail our favorite scream queen, Justin Long! We watched Zach Cregger’s Barbarian, and it’s a damn delight. We dive directly into the continuum of depravity, with detours through Nazi atrocities and Kevin Smith’s Tusk. We talk STL vs Detroit via their Wikipedias. We offer some potentially incredible double-feature pairings with Barbarian & Love in the Villa and Schindler’s List & Tusk. And we say unto ye: Man cannot live by titty milk alone.

Hocus Pocus 2

Today we have for you Disney’s latest IP regurge served with a generous helping of the tasty original-recipe masterpiece, 1993’s Hocus Pocus. Make sure to pour one out for the days when witches were inhuman bitches without sloppily crafted backstories. And for dessert, try one of our delicious candy apples from Sandy’s Candy Cauldron! After-dinner cigars and brandy come with a complimentary history of apple bobbing. Enjoy!

The Fugitive

Harrison Ford vs Tommy Lee Jones vs Big Pharma! This iconic 90s action movie is so 90s with lots of 90s stuff (*cough* Sela Ward *cough*) happening. That said, is it just your basic white male fantasy about a husband who may or may not have killed his wife a la The Staircase? Tangents include Miles Teller, the truth about hair dye, the probability that Lindsey’s dad fucked an alien (SPOILER ALERT: incredibly high odds), and what Tommy Lee must look like under those clothes.

Prey (2022)

Listen as Lindsey recalls her first encounter with the Predator at the tender age of six. Leah speaks of her experience with AVP, the union of two great franchises. We discuss the Predator as allegory for white man’s manifest destiny and the rape of the natural world. And we ask: What are the rules of the Predator? Does the Predator fuck? (It definitely fucks.) Tangents include sexy aliens vs realistic aliens and our great expectations for sci-fi series and film. Full disclosure: We have worked ...

Ocean’s Eleven (2001)

From the living room rug, Lindsey “Hand Banger” Schaefer and Leah “Lying Shit Mouth” Bross bring you Ocean’s Eleven!* In this episode we ask: Is this remake of a classic a classic? Or is it just a popcorn movie dressed up real nice? Where do we stand on George Clooney: fuck-boy-dickhead or sexy Hollywood pig owner? (This is, of course, a very personal choice that every woman must make for herself.) Lindsey takes us way, way, way back with plenty of 90s TV refs, including Picket Fences, ER, and S...

The Northman

How do we love Mr. Eggers and his coming-of-age tales? Let us count the ways…. We’re quite taken by the deliciously violent story of Amleth, as well as the kinda historically accurate portrayal of a flatulent Viking teen under the influence of psychedelics. We discuss the mystery of the butthole disk and the dream of an Eggers-Aster collab. And we debate the best use of period blood in a film. But really there are no bad uses of period blood. Ever. Alas, we were challenged by the pronunciations ...

No Country for Old Men

Welcome to another VERY SPECIAL EPISODE. And please excuse us while we have a moment…a Josh Brolin moment! We discuss this timeless story written by Cormac McCarthy, as told by the Coen brothers, and in which that dingus kid from Cheers makes good (until he doesn’t). Tangents include Outer Range, baby Caleb Landry Jones, sociopaths, Danny McBride, and a brief appearance by a hilarious Letterboxd review that Lindsey doesn’t understand.

Jun 16, 20221 hr 19 minEp. 57

Uncut Gems

We're so sad. We're so fucked up…about how little we know about sports betting. But we're really stoked about Adam Sandler's performance in this--hear us out--delightful little rom-com portraying the dangers of gambling addiction. We would die for that Furby! And we're kinda obsessed with Julia Fox the podcaster. Extreme Julia Fox voice: I mean, Lindsey was Leah's muse for this episode about Uncah Jahms.

Vertical Limit

Give us the dex! So…why are we here? We're here because of Lindsey's weird obsession with this too-long Y2K action flick about summiting K2. Lindsey explores her mountain-climbing dreams; Leah explores her dreams of climbing Chris O'Donnell. And then, much like in the movie, there's lots of heavy breathing and absolutely zero sex. Because, unfortunately for all of us, there's no sex in the death zone.

Morbius

We're back, baby! And we have for you, dear listener, a VERY SPECIAL EPISODE because we watched Morbius. And wow. Just wow. Lindsey breaks down the science behind this humdinger of a Marvel-vampire (?) flick. Leah has a few things to say about Jordan Catalano's 50-year-old bod (hubba, hubba). And we have so very many questions about the rules: the rules of vampires, the rules of bats, and in particular, the rules of this movie. So, take a listen. The power of the bat compels you!

Apr 07, 20221 hr 6 minEp. 54

Spring Breakers

We're one year into the pandy, and this is what breaks Lindsey: Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers. (Fact: This is Tarantino's fave film from 2013. Also fact: Tarantino has a dick.) Is it a love story? Is it a tragedy? Either way, Leah found it to be beautiful Shakespearean chaos and Lindsey found it to be trash. Tangents include stoner party rules, the truth about critics, Dave Franco vs James Franco, and stickup methodologies. Sprang break, forevah.

Mar 18, 20211 hr 13 minEp. 53

Nomadland

In this VERY SPECIAL EPISODE, we describe our first encounters with a film that is a mix of fiction and documentary fact. While that can be a bit off-putting, it doesn't much detract from the beauty and meaningfulness of Chloe Zhao's Nomadland. The lifestyles and people portrayed in this film are quite different from our understanding of #vanlife as depicted by millennial influencers. This is the story of a seemingly forgotten generation, a story of community lost and found, that spans the subli...

Destination Wedding

Keanu and Winona are together again in this delightful film about a joyless turd and a neurotic spinster finding love at a destination wedding. Full of witty dialogue and biting humor, the film turns all our favorite rom-com tropes into laugh-out-loud moments, including a sex scene that makes the Movie Virgins' top three (just behind Border and The Bronze). Leah defends Keanu's acting abilities, and Lindsey recalls Winona's best performances. Tangents include Dane Cook, spending money to fill th...

Bridesmaids

Welcome to our first ESKIMO SISTERS episode, wherein we discuss our shared carnal knowledge of a film that we both have…experienced. Our first go-round is with Bridesmaids, a movie we have adored for nearly a decade. We talk about why we love the film so much: Melissa McCarthy's breakout performance, the realistic portrayal of female friendships, and how the coming-of-age story of a 30-something woman really resonated with us. We also dig into how this compares to The Hangover, as well as whethe...

Less Than Zero

Less Than Zero, based Bret Easton Ellis' first novel, is a perfect encapsulation of 80s disaffected youth and the LA party scene. Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal of a drug addict is impressive, but it can't save the film from Andrew McCarthy's milquetoast leading man and the objectively terrible ending. For the record, Tawny Kitaen is not in this movie, but Jami Gertz is. And James Spader does his 80s villain thing. Tangents include Tom Cruise's MI7 COVID rant, incestuous friend groups, PEN15, Gra...

Wonder Woman 1984

Spoilers abound in this VERY SPECIAL EPISODE where we travel back in time - back to the 80s - to discuss our initial reactions to Wonder Woman 1984. And guess what? We didn't hate it. But it did give us a lot of things to think on: the varied portrayals of female and male superheroes, the unfortunate treatment of Kristen Wiig's Barbara Minerva/Cheetah, Wonder Woman's origins, Chris motherfuckin' Pine, and Wonder Woman's wardrobe. Tangents include: how the hell to pronounce Gal Gadot's last name,...

Bad Santa

Fuck me, Santa! Lindsey and Leah share their feelings, fears, and Santa fetishes while they dish on 2003's Bad Santa. Billy Bob Thornton's Golden Globe-nominated performance as a career criminal mall Santa is peppered with so many delicious and dastardly moments. We've also got lots of love for Tony Cox, Bernie Mac, and John Ritter. Tangents include Lindsey's hate for youths and West County moms, best places to retire from a life of crime, mall Santa stories, favorite Christmas movies, and Fragg...

Dec 24, 20201 hr 13 minEp. 47

Sense and Sensibility

Leah introduces Lindsey to Ang Lee's pastoral masterpiece Sense and Sensibility. Emma Thompson's Oscar-winning screenplay is based on Jane Austen's novel of the same name, so there's some discussion of Austen and the Austen hive. But of course, we turn our attentions to the great question asked by this film: Is it better to involve oneself in polite affections or to be consumed by fiery love affairs? Furthermore, Hugh Grant has never looked better, that bitch of a cunt of a bitch Fanny is a wond...

Dec 16, 20201 hr 24 minEp. 46

The Virgin Suicides

The Lisbon sisters are a mysterious mystery to all the boys. Their parents are so strict! The youngest killed herself! And…they menstruate! Real talk: These girls are head-to-toe basic, from their messy bedrooms to their homemade prom dresses. Quiet, introspective Cecilia was the only one in the bunch worth a second look. Unfortunately, she's dead, and the others will follow suit like a bunch of lemmings over a cliff. Tangents include: first date stories, Sofia Coppola beefs, Kirsten Dunst beefs...

Dec 09, 20201 hr 24 minEp. 45

Home for the Holidays

Jodie Foster offers up some good old-fashioned family drama (trauma?) in her 90s Thanksgiving masterpiece Home for the Holidays, starring Holly Hunter, Robert Downey Jr., and Anne Bancroft. Oh, and there's a little Dylan McDermott romance shoved in there for funzies. Tangents include nostalgia for pre-9/11 airports, RDJ's drug problem, the believability of Tom Cruise in any role, and a few deep dark family secrets of our own.

Nov 25, 20201 hr 35 minEp. 44

Shaun of the Dead

The undead are roaming the streets, but fear not! Shaun has the perfect plan, and it ends with a nice cold pint at the Winchester. Leah and Lindsey dive into Edgar Wright's 2004 horror-comedy Shaun of the Dead, starring Simon Pegg as the bumbling hero and Nick Frost as his obnoxious but lovable best friend. It's zed-word, zed-word, zed-word, along with a few tangents: Steve Buscemi, Coldplay vs Papa Roach, Lindsey yelling at the youths of the world to get off her metaphorical lawn, and the probl...

Oct 29, 20201 hr 35 minEp. 43

Little Shop of Horrors (1986)

Feed me, Seymour! Feed me! Lindsey introduced Leah to 80s horror-comedy-musical Little Shop of Horrors, which stars the incomparable Rick Moranis. And it was a delight! Aside from dissecting Seymour's motivations, what's aged well in this film, and if you can show this to your kids, we also cover: casting the reboot (because we're getting a fucking reboot, people), that moment in every musical where Leah loses interest, Lindsey's odd hobbies/talents, ping pong shows, queefing, and the best part ...

Oct 26, 20201 hr 16 minEp. 42

The Haunting of Bly Manor

Welcome to another VERY SPECIAL EPISODE! Ghost stories, tragic love, creepy British children, and late 80s fashion. The Haunting of Bly Manor is perfectly splendid! Lindsey and Leah binged all 9 episodes of this Netflix series, and there was a lot to discuss: Bly Manor vs Hill House (spoilers for Hill House abound), the rules of ghosts (there ARE rules), T'Nia Miller's incredible performance, Leah's preoccupation with how Oliver Jackson-Cohen smells, Lindsey's beef with Victoria Pedretti's Dani,...

Oct 21, 20201 hr 45 minEp. 41

Annihilation

Join us as "Doctor" Lindsey Schaefer delivers her first lecture on cellular autophagy and explains why she'd hug that creepy (yet somehow cuddly) bear monster. We dive deep into our thoughts and feelings on Natalie Portman's eyebrows, as well as what movies and stories terrified us as children and what the actual fuck is happening in this film. And we end on butts and dirty showers 'cause why the hell not.

Oct 08, 20201 hr 17 minEp. 40

Re-Animator

It's a Lovecraftian tale as old as time: boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, boy's roommate kills and raises girl's psycho stalker from the dead, psycho stalker gives new meaning to the phrase "giving head," tentacle chaos ensues, girl dies, boy injects girl with neon yellow science juice. Tangents include The Good Place (spoiler alert!), Lindsey's desire for a padded room of her very own, theories on what happens when we die, and the correct way to apply a bra. Oh, and we may have recorded this...

Oct 02, 20201 hr 25 minEp. 39

Goodfellas

As far back as she can remember, Lindsey's always loved Goodfellas. And it's been a long damn time because we're celebrating 30 years with this Scorsese classic, which was released on September 21, 1990. The story of Henry Hill's mafia career is violent, sexy, and entertaining as hell. Hot topics include Lindsey's Hoffa reincarnation fantasy, the most comedic moment in the film (RIP Spider), Joe Pesci's Oscar-winning turn, Leah's take on Debra Winger's performance (wink, wink), and our thoughts ...

Sep 24, 20201 hr 42 minEp. 38

365 Days (feat. Textual Tension)

Are you lost, baby girl? If you answered yes or no or maybe so, then you should listen to this episode where we discuss in gruesome detail the "romance" 365 Days with Margie and Rachel from Textual Tension. We answer all your burning questions: Was this movie actually made for men (so. many. blowjobs.)? How many montages is too many? Is the fucking for real or are they just that talented? Is it rape? And why? Just…why? Also, we take a tiny Lord of the Rings tangent because why not. Then head on ...

Saving Private Ryan

Come one, come all to suckle at the teats of pain as Leah and Lindsey discuss Spielberg's 1998 war drama Saving Private Ryan. And the cast! Oh the cast! They've got Hanks, Sizemore, Ribisi, Burns, Goldberg, Damon, Diesel, and last, but certainly not least, Barry FUCKING Pepper. Lindsey reveals one of her trade secrets: how to tell if you're a good actor who made shitty choices in the 90s. (We're looking at you, Ed Burns, Ewan McGregor, and Jude Law.) And we brush up on our German. FUBAR is Germa...

Bronco Billy

We're bar room buddies and that's the best kiiiiiiiiiiind! Leah introduces Lindsey to Bronco Billy, an 80s classic starring Clint Eastwood, Sondra Locke, and Scatman Crothers. This film has everything: cowboys and cowgirls, a modern-day train robbery (!), a performance from Merle Haggard & the Strangers, and one of the best bar room brawls ever. Lindsey points out all the ways this film hasn't aged well, and we ask ourselves: Is Clint Eastwood a gross person?
