Let’s do a makeover! Movies and television replay the same makeover story-line again and again, whether it’s a fantasy of climbing the class ladder with gowns and dialect, or a Queer Eye wallpapering your toilet. What does it all mean? As two living “before” pictures, Jerrica and Captain Nancy are here to get to the bottom of society’s obsession with renovating ourselves. https://ia601409.us.archive.org/6/items/3.09Makeovers/3.09%20Makeovers.mp3Download episode...
On this very special episode of The Popular Parallax, Captain Nancy and Jerrica are joined once again by superfan Peridot to get into a game…of Thrones. Join us for this meeting of Great Houses where we discuss our favourite characters, least favourite performances, and who will manage to survive to the end of the Game and win the IRON THRONE!? https://ia601401.us.archive.org/22/items/3.08GameOfThrones/3.08%20-%20Game%20of%20Thrones.mp3Download episode...
Travel back in time with Jerrica and Captain Nancy to 1993 and the classic Granada series The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes starring Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke. We’ll compare and contrast this episode – The Master Blackmailer – with His Last Vow , and discuss performances and overall quality. While Brett’s Holmes is more closely matched to the original stories, he went above and beyond to make the character his own. So who comes out on top? https://ia801504.us.archive.org/28/items/3.06ASh...
Captain Nancy is sharply turning up the collar on his greatcoat while Jerrica is shooting bullets through the wall all up in her feelings. It must be time for SHERLOCK HOLMES!

We start with the 2014 BBC interpretation: His Last Vow . Time to visit the smack house with our friend Benedict! htt...

Captain Nancy and Jerrica are joined by guest Peridot to dive into Trans representation in action and suspense. Do these movies have a responsibility to represent? Educate? Or must they simply entertain? Our lovely guest Peridot (aka McKenzie), is a writer/graphic designer/woods witch from the east coast. She loves films and recently worked for the Inside Out LGBT Film Festival. You can check out her projects and selfies on Instagram @mcknzgrey. https://ia601502.us.archive.org/29/items/Episode3....

It’s August and we are still stewing in our own juices, so where better to go than miles under the ocean to sub-zero adventures of alien ocean nests and political intrigue?

As we swelter through the hottest Canada Day weekend on record, Jerrica and Nance return to a Popular Parallax summer tradition: Movies we’ll be Watching in Hell. These films set our expectations super high, and then kicked us in the balls and/or vag once they had our money. So now we’re doling out disdain, taking no prisoners, and demanding full table service in hades. Happy summer! https://ia601501.us.archive.org/23/items/2.10MoviesWellBeWatchingInHell/2.10%20Movies%20we%27ll%20be%20Watching%2...

Jerrica and Nancy dive into a topic that is constantly revisited: First Contact. From 50’s camp to modern spectaculars, aliens have visited earth for the first time over and over again. Whether we’re receiving a fatherly pat on the head with Jodie Foster, or bearing the brunt of a total dressing-down from Michael Rennie, the message they have to impart is simple: humanity are a bunch of knuckleheads. https://ia801504.us.archive.org/5/items/2.07FirstContact/2.07%20-%20First%20Contact.mp3Download ...
“Jack is dead my friend. You can call me….Joker”. The Joker did it before and better than Taylor Swift. Join Nancy and Jerrica for a BATMAN Rumble. In. The. Jungle!!!

Tell me Captain, now when did you last let your heart decide? Nancy follows his heart and spills the t on how his favourite Disney movies shaped (warped) his childhood, while Jerrica brings it in for the win with an uplifting diatribe on gender and race issues hidden (and not so hidden) in many Disney classics. That Celine Dion sure can sing though! Get into it and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE. https://ia601505.us.archive.org/33/items/2.02TheMagicalWorldOfDisney/2.02%20-%20The%20Magical%20World%20o...

They’re here, they’re queer, they want to suck your blood! Jerrica and Nance start Season 2 off with a squelch as they review The Hunger and Interview With a Vampire . Both movies feature a dazzling array of highs and lows – resulting in our usual magic formula of fangirling, spoilers and rage! https://ia801507.us.archive.org/20/items/2.01TheseSexyVampiresAreMakingMeGay/2.01%20-%20These%20Sexy%20Vampires%20are%20Making%20Me%20Gay.mp3Download episode...

That time when everything was coming up roses (and coloured rose): the 80s. As sci-fi reflects our current vision of the future, this vision shifts as time goes by. As with every decade, some masterpieces came out of it, and some bigfooted clunkers. We take a look at the direct result of big hair, big makeup and big shoulders: cute aliens, cute robots, cute puppets. https://ia601503.us.archive.org/29/items/12SciFiDoesThe80s/12%20-%20SciFi%20Does%20the%2080s.mp3Download episode ...
Let’s face it. If there is a hell, we’ll be there for all the cussin’ and judgin’. But who’s to say we can’t still be entertained? The weather’s heating up, and we’re melting down as we go IN on our “top” picks for movies we’ll be watching in hell. Forecasts show 100% chance of profanity, but at least it’s a dry heat. https://ia801508.us.archive.org/29/items/11MoviesWellBeWatchingInHell/11%20-%20Movies%20we'll%20be%20Watching%20in%20Hell.mp3Download episode...
Maybe she’s born with it – maybe it’s dark magic! Bunny and Jerrica delve into the wild and sometimes unsavoury world of staying young and beautiful in science fiction…and in hollywood. Movies like Death Becomes Her, Logan’s Run and The Congress all tell stories of retaining eternal youth, almost always at a terrible price. The flaming hypocrisy between the judgement of the movies and the reality of being a hollywood actor is not lost on your hosts. https://ia601504.us.archive.org/23/items/10Ete...
Power up your school uniforms for a brilliant, idiotic, girl-power fueled love-fest about five school girls from Tokyo.
