Licorice Pizza: After Lindsey threatens to write extremely personal fanfiction, we discuss the desire to be head empty, but the unfortunate weight of consciousness that caused us to absolutely hate this film. 

Adventureland: Lindsey contemplates one man’s chokehold on a suburban town’s weed market. We also discuss the worst possible time to shake hands, an even worse name for a fondue restaurant, and Brooke’s toxic trait.

The Winners and Losers of the 2022 Oscar Nominations

Groundhog Day: We consider the potential length of the time loop, the casting that ended friendships, and the insane number of tragedies that happen in a small town in Pennsylvania.  

Before I Fall: It's been a while since we've vicerally hated a film's premise, but boy howdy did we have a lot to rant about. We also manage to discuss heteronormative hell, the conspiracy theory of who trapped Sam in the loop and some of the worst ADR.

Never Rarely Sometimes Always: Brooke gives the history of Antz and A Bug's Life which she swears is relevant, and then we debate whether or not this is a period piece and the luggage that serves a metaphorical purpose but makes no practical sense.  

Unpregnant: In Brooke and Lindsey's new favorite film, we discuss the high school rumor mill, the worst place to take a pregnancy test (surrounded by teens), and the best use of "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson.

Eyes Wide Shut: In a film that's apparently undoubtedly a Christmas film, we discuss the film kids' disappointment at lack of porn, the worst behavior of a plus one, and one man's need to constantly prove that he's a doctor.  

Starry Eyes: Lindsey tells the least fun fact quite possibly ever, causing Brooke to want to quit the podcast. Before that, they manage to discuss the Potato Hooters, and the weird cult like obsession of Chuck Palahniuk.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf: We discuss the likelihood that MGK and Megan Fox would star in a remake of this film, the point at which we would leave a party, and quite possibly the only people that would commit to bits more than Brooke and Lindsey

The Boys in the Band: Brooke has found her own version of JK Simmons/Michael Keaton, knowledge of Teen Wolf as the only requirement to date us, and the worst party game followed by the worst time to hook up at a party.

St Trinian’s: In another film that’s only loosely about a quiz show competition, we discuss questionable 2007 jokes, the implications of discussing Colin Firth in a film that stars Colin Firth, and Lindsey’s lack of knowledge of common British terms.

127 Hours with a Film Kid: Brooke gives a quick IATSE update, followed by Netflix's employee walkout, and Ruby Rose's allegations against CW/WBTV. 

Us: A surprise pairing caused directly by Lindsey, we manage to discuss the reasons we don't want kids (mainly their ability to see shadow people), a new conspiracy Lindsey has concocted around the restaurant industry, and when is the time for men to stop being allowed to make decisions. 

Replicas:  In a movie where there are literally no consequences despite setting up all of the immediate consequences, we discuss how a man ineptly tries to get away with murdering his entire family, despite not murdering his entire family. We also discover that while Lindsey may have a face-blindness for actors, it certainly is not height-blindness.

Alien: Spooky Month 2021 kicks off with a film that Brooke will absolutely not be analyzing, but instead we talk about when is it acceptable to murder your coworker, and how The Who impacted the most influential sci-fi film. 

Forbidden World: In a film that’s barely not porn, we manage to discuss the inherent sense of humor in aliens, the somehow unworrying presence of Molly in the air, and the perfect naming of a man named “Earl”.

Bicycle Thieves: After Nixon Month, Brooke returns to Film Kid lectures, and we discuss one of the most influential films. Topics include the world’s most perfect child, Brooke and Lindsey’s fundamental disagreement and the mysterious allure of a cheese pull. 

Premium Rush: Brooke and Lindsey both find very specific hills that they would die on while discussing this film which has probably influenced zero filmmakers. And despite not understanding the main plot device, we manage to discuss the weirdest superpower, “fixie” bikes and the most 2012 line of dialogue.

From breaking the Doctor out of Area 51 in Doctor Who to existing as a head in a jar in Futurama, we discover that Nixon may be the glue that holds this universe together.

Frost/Nixon: We get upset at the humanization of Nixon while also critiquing a man for being upset that he’s bad at his job. Plus, the worst way to answer the phone, no matter the context. 

Elvis & Nixon: Brooke and Lindsey break down a surprisingly sane film with the most unhinged factual premise. Topics include: the security priorities of the White House, Brooke’s version of the Michael Keaton and J.K. Simmons confusion, and the suspicious antics of Elvis – who is too adamant that he’s anti-drug to be anti-drug.

Dick: In the first ever unanimous win, Brooke and Lindsey talk about their new favorite film. Topics include every single good dick joke, middle school field trips, and the ambitious dating scene in D.C.

127 Hours with a Film Kid: This week Brooke and Lindsey were possibly living out a real life 127 Hours, so instead of news, Brooke gives the history of popcorn. 

Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb: Lindsey can’t tell the difference between faces and Brooke can’t tell the difference between pronunciations. We also discuss our favorite stage name and our shared desire to have more government officials weigh in on movies. 

This is the End: Lindsey declares her love of both Jay Baruchel and distance-based jokes. We discuss the very loose plot of the film, and agree that spending the apocalypse at James Franco’s house is a fate worse than death.

Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood: After putting it off for 23 episodes, Brooke is finally forced to discuss Quentin Tarantino, and it goes just about how you’d expect. Other topics include the overwhelming presence of feet, and Brooke saying “self-indulgent” and “pretentious” more times than Margo Robbie has lines. 

The Haunting of Sharon Tate: In a film that equally upsets us but for vastly different reasons, we avoid discussing this clearly exploitive film by focusing on Gibby being a terrible nickname, the surprising recent invention of 9-1-1, and the mythos of Archeologists.

Always Be My Maybe: Brooke and Lindsey detail their love of Keanu Reeves, both in this film and in general before reaffirming that Dave Franco's take from over a year ago on modern romcoms was bad. Plus, we question the seemingly nonexistent rules of "apocalyptic truth or dare".

Fifty Shades Freed: Brooke and Lindsey have no context for the 3rd  film in this franchise, but that doesn't stop them from judging this couple who have clearly never had a single conversation before getting married.  Brooke also gets overwhelmed by the mere concept of banks, and Lindsey is surprised to find Christian Grey more of a maniac than Edward Cullen.

Sharknado: We discuss what creature we'd prefer to fall from the sky and hit us, Brooke's love of car chases, and Lindsey's love of wiggling sharks. Plus, the spin-off film Brooke refuses to believe actually happened (even though it definitely did).

Alyson Stoner's Op-Ed in People

Scott Rudin is a Horrible Monster

Nomadland: We discuss all things #vanlife and praise the film's "oppressive loneliness" before solving the bartering system mystery of Lady Bird and remembering the existence of Borat.

If you weren't aware, Nomadland won 3 Academy Awards. Chloé Zhao won for Best Directing (making her the first woman of color, and the second woman ever to win this award), Frances McDormand won for Best Actress, and the film also won Best Picture - we obviously recorded this episode before the Oscars aired, but wanted to note these momentous and groundbreaking awards.  

The Lady in the Van: We ponder when you need for new material or if it's worth telling the same story 5 times, playing recorders in school and Brooke's desire to have fate take both her and her name.

Promising Young Woman: The sexism ride continues this episode as we discuss not being hot enough to be a femme fatale, being approached while being in bushes, and Brooke makes her stance known on the opinions of men (it's very low). 

Jennifer's Body: We rant about the ways that society has let down both Megan Fox and this movie, and give it some much needed love 10 years after its release. Plus we discuss the etiquette of entering abandoned houses, and what would potentially bring goth kids to your yard.

Big: We skim past all of the uncomfortable moments in the movie, but dwell on the realism of mediocre white men succeeding in the corporate world. Plus, the worst dinner party ever is one where Christopher Columbus is a central conversation and Lindsey pitches her own better dinner party: stealing the formalwear from retirees. 

13 Going on 30: Lindsey explains the true nature of the magic spell, while Brooke laments that she ever forgot about how enjoyable Mark Ruffalo is. We also wonder what outfits the 13 year old versions of ourselves would prepare with our modern wardrobes and discuss the nightmare fuel of being called to participate in the thriller dance.

The Dylan O'Brien scene recreation  that we did not deserve

Swiped: We shame this film for needlessly shaming women and point out the several characters in the film that should probably “lawyer up, asshole”. We also take a deep dive into the writer/director/producer/casting director who brought this monstrosity into our lives.

Then, we break down how many times Leo ends up in a pool and Lindsey comes up with a plan to save the environment and date Leo Di Caprio, while she still has time.

Warm Bodies: We learn that it’s okay to judge someone for peeling off their own skin, but to not judge their dreams, even if they feature Cream of Wheat. Plus, kleptomaniac tendencies that remain even in undeath and the theoretical need of nurses in a Zombie apocalypse.

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind: We discuss the practicality of erasing your roommate who you share a room with, the surprising lack lack of shame of furry tendencies, and the ultimate power move of memory loss.

The Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac: We essentially say “she has a traumatic brain injury” on repeat, but manage to sneak in a few Twilight references, Lindsey's inability to spot a potential JK Simmons in Shrek, and Brooke’s ability to spot LA cemeteries.

Post Grad: We reminisce upon the bygone era of learning to code from Myspace, the likelihood of being impressed by an inflatable couch, and the apparent impossibility of distinguishing Michael Keaton and J.K. Simmons.
