    Hash of the Titans: Immortals

    Well, hello! We're in the midst of our Tarsem Singh-a-thon, and today we bring you a discussion of Immortals (2011), a very silly sword and sandal film about Theseus and Phaedra (sort of) and their interactions with a monomaniacal king, random characters of Greek myth, and the gods, who are never quite sure what they want. Oh, and HATS. This movie is honestly mostly nonsense, but it looks great. Also, this is our last episode before the holidays, so have a cozy end-of-December, and we'll ring in the new year (late, probably) with an episode about The Fall (2006). As always, rate, review, and email us if you want to!

    Killing your inner child never looked so stylish: The Cell

    Hi everyone! This episode marks the beginning of a new series! For the next few episodes we're going to talk about Tarsem Singh's feature film oeuvre (it is not large). This week, we're talking about The Cell, a 2000 fever dream starring Jennifer Lopez, Vince Vaughn, Vincent D'Onofrio, and others whose names we can't remember right now. Did this movie deserve the criticism it got? Yes. But it looks pretty! If you are at all inclined, please rate and review us. Also, feel free to get in touch at thejuiciestbitspodcast@gmail.com.

    Just Some Ordinary People: Sullivan's Travels--NOW WITH AUDIO!

    Well hello! We know you've had a bit of a wait for this episode, but we're back and ready to give you the final episode of our Preston Sturges series. Today we're talking about Sullivan's Travels (1941) and the privileged propensity to try on poverty, just for a little bit, just to see how it feels, before scuttling back to relative comfort.

    Kockenlocker's Knocked Up: The Miracle of Morgan's Creek

    Hello and welcome to week two of our look at John Sturges! This week, we're talking about The Miracle of Morgan's Creek (1943) and the mystery of how it managed to evade the censors. There's bigamy, illegitimate pregnancy, slapstick comedy—what more could any of us want?! Be sure to rate and review us (pretty please), and feel free to drop us a line at thejuiciestbitspodcast@gmail.com.

    Positively the Same Dame: The Lady Eve

    Welcome back to our devoted listener(s)! To kick off this new season, we've decided to pivot from 1990s/2000s action movies to something not at all related: the movies of Preston Sturges. Now, if you don't know anything about Sturges's movies, or if you think you won't be interested, DON'T WORRY! We will do our level best to showcase how funny, compelling, and of-the-moment they can be. This week, we're starting with The Lady Eve (1941), a romp with a sexy lady swindler, a derpy rich dweeb, revenge, and love, not to mention several other parts that we love. Trust us, this movie is a banger. Please don't forget to rate and review us on iTunes or what have you. Also, feel free to email us at thejuiciestbitspodcast@gmail.com if you want to say hello!

    Terminator: Dark Fate: The Ballad of Sarah and Carl and/or An Ode to Mackenzie Davis's Arms

    Hi friends, and welcome to the final episode of our Terminator series! In this episode we talk about Terminator: Dark Fate, specifically how much we love Carl and how amazing Mackenzie Davis's arms are. And, you know, other stuff. We're taking a break in August because we are tired and cranky, but also because we love summer. But, we'll be back with something new and exciting after that, so don't go too far! If you have any suggestions and/or accolades for us, write to us at thejuiciestbitspodcast@gmail.com! Please also consider rating and reviewing us on iTunes or commenting on Spotify. We'd appreciate it!

    Just the Worst: Terminator Genisys

    Okay, folks, we're sorry to do this to you, but today we're talking about Terminator Genisys (Taylor, 2015), BUT ONLY BECAUSE WE ARE COMPLETIONISTS! Think of it as penance to cleanse us of the hatred in our hearts before we talk about Terminator: Dark Fate (Miller, 2019), which is objectively a much better movie and which we adore. In this episode we mostly bitch about how bad Genisys is, so if you're into that sort of thing, maybe you'll enjoy it! But also, if you like Terminator Genisys, please send us a note about why! You can reach us at thejuiciestbitspodcast@gmail.com. As always, please rate and review us on your platform of choice! It's free and we will love you forever if you do!

    Resisting (:) Terminator Salvation

    Hello hello! Today, we're talking about Terminator Salvation (McG, 2009) and whether we dislike it as much as we dislike Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (Mostow, 2003). Hint: at least one of us dislikes it MORE. Anyway, we still have a whale of a time talking about it, and that's really what matters, isn't it? Also, please remember the three Rs: Rate, review, and reach out to say hello! You can find us at thejuiciestbitspodcast@gmail.com because neither of us has time to be good at social media and also we are not tweens.
