Twin Picks

THREE film-loving siblings watch TWO movies and pick which ONE better achieves what it sets out to do!Together, Meg, Noah, and Eliza will watch two films that share some kind of similarity; it might be an obscure connection (did you know 'A Bug's Life' and 'Seven Samurai' have the exact same plot?) or a dumb and obvious one ('Billy Madison' vs. 'Billy Elliot'). Then, they pick apart both films in the kind of funny, faceted discussion that could only occur between twins (and also their other sister ugh).New episodes released every Sunday!

    The Greatest Horror Movie Performances

    acting so good, it's almost scary... Noah, Eliza, and Anthony create the ultimate dream-team of towering performances from within the horror genre, from the most loveable and awesome final girls, to hauntingly believable possessions, to transformative villain roles. The gang takes some time to shiver in admiration - and fear!! eeeeeee - at the double header of Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall, Bruce Campbell's terrific clowning, and Barbara Hershey's harrowing work in 'The Entity'. we got some strong opinions about what makes a horror movie performance GREAT, and we'd love to hear your favourite roles too: get in touch via our social media below or email us!

    55. Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert + To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar (feat. Molly Ward)

    finally it's happened to me (getting Molly on the podcast) Life was a drag until we got Molly Ward in the studio, to talk about a pair of twin films that see straight actors dragging it up in mirroring road-trip comedies. A longtime listener with a deep love of all things drag, Molly is here to help Noah and Eliza enthuse over the still-legendary and empathetic Aussie classic The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Then the gang discusses their first time watching To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar, an Americanised take on a very similar story of queer city-slicker fabulosity stuck in a remote backwater town. Why is one film so beloved, 'daggily Australian', and perhaps before its time (with a few notable scenes as exceptions), and the other feels somewhat static, with Swayze, Snipes and Leguizamo just as stranded as their admittedly very entertained viewers? it's time to make your choice, and DO fuck it up TRIPLET IN THE ATTIC LINKS Noah's close friend and Melbourne drag queen Iva Rosebud (https://www.instagram.com/ivarosebud/) Eliza's drag pageant behind-the-scenes doco The Queen (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063477/) Molly's inclusive alternative to Drag Race, The Boulet Brothers' Dragula (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6289132/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0) + The SImpsons foray into drag 'Werking Mom' (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7702262/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_7) Anthony's work with The Push, with new singles out now = https://instagram.com/thepushinc?utm_medium=copy_link / https://linktr.ee/thepushinc Send a lil thanks to the gang via https://www.buymeacoffee.com/twinpicks EMAIL: twinpickspodcast@gmail.com INSTAGRAM: twinpicks FACEBOOK: @twinpickspodcast ROUGH CUT: https://roughcutfilm.com/ NEXT TIME: The greatest HORROR acting performances Hosted on Acast.

    54. Frozen + Frozen

    make sure u don't accidentally watch Frozen (2010) with ur Disney-loving children... it's our first time tackling films with exactly the same title: Disney's world-conquering, kids'-party-inspiring, show-tune-infested Frozen, and an earlier horror film Frozen, about a trio of skiers stranded on a chair lift. In tone and subject matter, these movies couldn't be more different, catering to totally separate audiences but somehow both involving some silly wolf chase-scenes. Noah and Eliza start discussing their movie opinions in order to keep body temps up n stay alive, branching out into arguments about survival cinema in general and the state of post-Pixar, post-Lego-Movie animated film. Listen through to our cold-hearted ultimate conclusion and vote on Insta, if the winning film sends a shiver down ya spine TRIPLET IN THE ATTIC LINKS Noah's favourite simple pumpkin soup recipe for cold Melbourne winters: Put 1 chopped onion + 2 dollops of butter into a microwaveable bowl n heat for 3 minutes. Chop 1 butternut pumpkin, discarding seeds and skin. Add chunks of pumpkin to bowl with 1 cup of boiling water, 2 chicken/vegetable stock cubes, heat in microwave for 20 minutes. Puree with heat-safe blender/thermomix. Serve with dollop of yoghurt/sour cream, basil/parsley, parmesan. bowlEliza's frosty multi-faceted album 50 Words for Snow by Kate Bush (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Words_for_Snow) Anthony's work with The Push, including two new singles out now = https://instagram.com/thepushinc?utm_medium=copy_link / https://linktr.ee/thepushinc Send a lil thanks to the gang via https://www.buymeacoffee.com/twinpicks EMAIL: twinpickspodcast@gmail.com INSTAGRAM: twinpicks FACEBOOK: @twinpickspodcast ROUGH CUT: https://roughcutfilm.com/ NEXT TIME: To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything!

    53. Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen + Confessions of a Shopaholic (feat. Ivana Brehas)

    you've just gotta have no doubt/just believe in your...self .. Less is NOT more in this chick-lit showdown, where one of our favourite recurring guests Ivana Brehas (https://ivanabrehas.com/) makes the discussion bigger, better, and more dramatique. We watched two confessional tales of aspirational femininity, in which two redheaded pathological liars strive towards the glam jobs/high school musical roles of their dreams whilst casually stringing a fantasy brunette along. So who has the better confession, our queen Lindsay Lohan in the Disney tween flick 'Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen'? Or Isla Fisher's debt-plagued financial advice columnist in 'Confessions of a Shopaholic'? Who IS the real mary/lola/rebecca etc etc TRIPLET IN THE ATTIC LINKS Ivana's potential video essay on the similarities between Shopaholic and Uncut Gems (https://www.netflix.com/title/80990663) Noah's 1980s mall robot slasher Chopping Mall (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090837/) Eliza's 2000s-sounding materialism bop 'XS' by Rina Sawayama (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO2c06p6m5w) Anthony's work with The Push, including two new singles out now = https://instagram.com/thepushinc?utm_medium=copy_link / https://linktr.ee/thepushinc EMAIL: twinpickspodcast@gmail.com INSTAGRAM: twinpicks FACEBOOK: @twinpickspodcast ROUGH CUT: https://roughcutfilm.com/ NEXT TIME: Frozen + Frozen Hosted on Acast.

    52. Dante's Peak + Volcano

    i just want to touch/eat lava okay. tastes like burning :) The studio is HEATING up this week in more ways than one - Noah and Eliza genuinely get quite fiery at each other over their differing takes on two 1997 cinematic eruptions. 'Dante's Peak' and 'Volcano' came out only months apart in the same year, with plenty of the same lava-and-ash-filled setpieces, and dashing scientists trying not to get sizzled like a sausage in the Bunnings car park. But the siblings cannot agree on whether Tommy Lee Jones' asshole emergency strategist is enough of a winner!! And we have to hear Noah's 'grandma dying in acid' impression yet AGAIN!! As the flames rise and lava flows, we are left wondering .. are we already burning in hell without even realising it ?? wow TRIPLET IN THE ATTIC LINKS Noah's litty psychedelic oldie 'Light My Fire' by the Doors (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbj1RFaoyLk) AND stunt-tastic lava-chasing game Stuntman: Ignition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuntman:_Ignition) Eliza's previously-mentioned quirky rom-com Joe Vs.

    51. Monkey Shines + Link

    'i hate every monkey movie i see/from chimpan-A to chimpan-Z' They're our closest genetic relatives but YIKES are they creepy: this week we checked out two films about evil murderous primate, both awesome 80's horror flicks that reckon with the not-so-slight difference between man and MONQUE. George Romero's "Monkey Shines" focuses on a protective capuchin helper monkey, whose quadriplegic owner finds himself living out the creature's animalistic rage. And "Link" traps Elisabeth Shue in an olde English manor with some nice monkeys and one very naughty, cigar-smoking, INCREDIBLY talented orangutan. Quit monkeying around and hit PLAY already, to hear some incredible tales of in-cinema projection shenanigans and the gang enthusing over Anthony's shiny new studio :o TRIPLET IN THE ATTIC LINKS Noah's dreamy Argento horror with a monke twist, Phenomena (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenomena_(film) Eliza's disturbing chimp attack article "The Worst Story I Ever Heard": (https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a5609/chimpanzee-attack-0409/) EMAIL: twinpickspodcast@gmail.com INSTAGRAM: twinpicks FACEBOOK: @twinpickspodcast ROUGH CUT: https://roughcutfilm.com/ NEXT TIME: Dante's Peak + Volcano Hosted on Acast.

    50. The Big Chill + Forrest Gump (feat. Leanne Bartram)

    with a half-century worth of episodes we r officially going through a MID-LIFE CRISIS On this celebratory 50th Golden Episode, Noah and Eliza show what their mama gave em - some strongly held OPINIONS on boomer cinema!! Joined by legal legend and Janssen family matriarch Leanne Bartram, it's a battle of the generations, centred around two movies that depict and challenge the lofty values and culture of the 1960s, especially when compared to the excess and ruin of the 1980s. Leanne still loves Forrest Gump, Robert Zemeckis' Oscar-sweeping tear-jerking story of a simple man happening upon American history. Ensemble comedy The Big Chill is a bit more specific, following a weekend of reunion between some hippies-turned-yuppies after a close friend's death. But both have soundtracks that put the BOOM in baby boom, and the discussion may just see a small family get torn apart :O TRIPLET IN THE ATTIC LINKS Leanne's own 70s soundtrack Tapestry by Carole King (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWbHG5iGZEA) and the shrimp-centric movie Lazy River (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0025375/) Eliza's supporting character from previous Pick Sky High, Coach Boomer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEVffls50hs) Noah's skit about cynical Hollywoodism vs. Robert Zemeckis, Rejected Pitches: Forrest Gump (https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x15nvmz) EMAIL: twinpickspodcast@gmail.com INSTAGRAM: twinpicks FACEBOOK: @twinpickspodcast ROUGH CUT: https://roughcutfilm.com/ NEXT TIME: Link + Monkey Shines Hosted on Acast.
