    Shakespeare in Love (1998)

    10 things I hate about you (1999)

    We're BACK and ready to rock n' roll with our favorite romantic comedy, 10 things I hate about you! This movie truly has every niche within a niche, grand gesture,  iconic line, and the best angry girl music of the indie rock persuasion we could hope for. If you wanted to hear Sara absolutely butcher some Shakespeare this is the episode for you! Starring Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Gabrielle Union, Larisa Oleynik, and Alison Janney. Cheers!

    Mulholland Drive (2001)

    We've got a Noirvember straggler episode for you! Before we completely switch gears and talk rom-coms for February, please enjoy our latest episode on the critically acclaimed and very niche David Lynch film, Mulholland Drive. This film is like a fever dream with all of the layers and seediness of a Hollywood film noir you could possibly want! What's your favorite theory about the meaning behind this film? Starring Naomi Watts, Laura Harring, and Justin Theroux. Cheers!

    Touch of Evil (1958)

    We're talking about a unique and honestly under underrated film noir this week as we analyze the the lesser known classic, Touch of Evil. This movie has a lot of chaos and a lot of moody, seedy, underworld corruption and we're here for it! Starring Orson Welles, Janet Leigh, Charlton Heston, and Marlene Dietrich. Cheers!
