This week, we watched the not-really-a-movie movie Brooklyn Bizarre. It's 80-90% montages of upsetting weirdo burlesque performances, and then there's a completely unexplained murder at the end, but join us as Eric tries to convince us that it actually means something.

Topics discussed:


What exactly is burlesque?
Chris describes a very short porno
Mumblecore movies that pretend they're gay movies
Russian accents
What exactly is a metaphor?

This week we watched the 2023 slasher movie Departing Seniors. When a gay high-schooler is pushed down the stairs by bullies, the blow to his head that almost kills him actually gives him psychic powers, which he can use to see the future. He then uses that power to save his bullies (who, you may remember, just pushed him down the stairs) from a vengeful serial killer, it's unclear why, tbh

Topics discussed:


The 3 Body Problem is kind of a dumb show
But so are a lot of shows we like
Other movies that have psychic powers in them
Bad hair
Never forget that, in the comic books, Thanos wants to make love to a skeleton

This week, we watched the 2005 rom-com Adam and Steve featuring Parker Posey and Chris Kattan (and starring two other people). We say rom-com, but there's not really any romance, nor is there any comedy. Instead, we're given confusing bits about family curses and a full performance of a song from the Sound of Music.

Topics discussed:


We watch a lot of tv shows and they're all more interesting to talk about than this movie
Hair in the 80's
9/11
The hottest cowboys

This week, we watched the 2018 thriller Devil's Path. When two obvious lunatics meet on a cruising ground within a state park, each with their own secrets, they begin a deadly game of cat and mouse. Or, at the very least, they wander the woods for about an evening, yelling at each other about whether love exists or not. The movie doesn't make much sense, but, hey, at least it only an hour and 22 minutes long.

Topics discussed:


The name of the pokemon Muk
The efficacy of half a deck of Tarot cards
Cruising and the movie Cruising
Brother fucking, yay or nay?

This week, we watched the 1988 British film The Fruit Machine. Which, yes, does mean it's time for some positively terrible accents from us while we discuss a film where a couple of teenagers witness a murder, go on the run, get abused by a famous opera singer, and finally rescue a magical dolphin. It's a truly wild film.

Topics discussed:


Robbie Coltrane
Flipper's jean shorts
Are fish creatures?
Are dolphins fish?
What exactly is the X-Simulator?

This week, we were joined by Seattle drag royalty Mark Finley to talk about the movie that he appears in, Holiday Heart. When a drag queen with the legal birth name of Holiday Heart (played by Ving Rhames) befriends an addict (Alfre Woodard), and her daughter, he puts all of his dreams on hold for the benefit of people who don't seem to deserve his kindness, or even want it. Also then he gets into a relationship with the addict's drug dealer/ex. It's all very strange.

Topics discussed:


What people care about in France
Tucking
The music of Super Smash Bros
The slowest moving car related death in history
