    PATREON PREVIEW: Apocalypto (2006)

    This is a preview of a premium episode from our Patreon feed, Paid Costly For Me! Head over to Patreon.com/PodCastyForMe to hear more for just $5 a month. Live (to tape) from México! The "chicos" sit down fresh from their travels in the Yucatán to talk Mel Gibson's Mayan language survival epic APOCALYPTO, widely held up as proof that he isn't just an insane racist weirdo. You're never going to believe this...we found some Historical Context. Apologies in advance if you're a big 'PTO fan, but we suspect you may not have rewatched it in a while. Plus, some chat about our experiences in Celestún, Mérida, cenotes - damn, is there any experience these guys won't "Mayan" for content?! As always, thanks to Jetski for our theme music and Jeremy Allison for our artwork. Produced by Ian Rhine and Jake Serwin. Additional Production by Ryan Torgeson.

    Soderbergh Ep. 40: Magic Mike's Last Dance (2023) with Aaron & Carlee from Hit Factory

    What if you made a movie that was really successful and then your friend directed a sequel people liked even better and THEN the star turned it into a live show with his name on it? You'd want to...let's see here...make a movie sort of imagining what if the character was actually the one who made the live show? Sure, why not! One thing's for sure, though - it better have Salma Hayek in it playing a rich woman named "Maxandra." We bid a fond "cheerio" to male entertainer Mike Lane in MAGIC MIKE'S LAST DANCE, Steven Soderbergh's conclusion to his unexpected trilogy, and we're joined by our very smart friends Aaron and Carlee from Hit Factory! As always with these two, our conversational cup runneth over with discussions of eroticism (and its absence), life after sex work, class, and ottoman humping. Terrific ep, we hope you enjoy!

    PATREON PREVIEW: The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015) with Comrade Yui

    This is a preview of a premium episode from our Patreon feed, Paid Costly For Me! Head over to Patreon.com/PodCastyForMe to hear more for just $5 a month. Wait a minute...that's not ZARDOZ! Our friend and comrade Yui returns to discuss a different movie from the one we talked about last time they were on: Guy Ritchie's 2015 film adaptation of THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E., which emerged from the wreckage of Steven Soderbergh and Scott Z. Burns's abruptly canceled version. Why does Yui want to talk about this film? What does it (and its source material) have to say about geopolitics/Hollywood & Soderbergh's view of same? How tall is everyone in the cast? We answer these and many other questions within - check it out!

    Get your spooky old-time mask on, everybody: it's the NO SUDDEN MOVE episode.

    PATREON PREVIEW: Suburbicon-Con 2026 with To The White Sea

    This is a preview of a premium episode from our Patreon feed, Paid Costly For Me! Head over to Patreon.com/PodCastyForMe to hear more for just $5 a month. How do you begin to talk about SUBURBICON, the 2017 film George Clooney made by hacking together an unmade Coen brothers crime script with one of his own about a true story of racial violence in the suburbs? By hacking together two incredible podcasts tangentially related to the subject, that's how! We got together with our good friends Jordan Fish and Ray Tintori from the To The White Sea podcast for some in-depth script analysis, live scene work, and a thorough postmortem of the Clooney film to figure out what even happened here. It's gotta be the most anyone has talked about this movie in 9 years, and it was a lot of fun - we hope you enjoy! (This episode will be on the To The White Sea feed in a couple weeks, but it's a Paid Costly For Me exclusive for now!) Follow To The White Sea: https://linktr.ee/tothewhitesea As always, thank you to Jetski for our theme music and to Jeremy Allison for our artwork. Additional production by Ryan Torgeson.

    UNLOCKED: Moneyball (2011)

    This is an unlocked episode from our Patreon feed, Paid Costly For Me! Head over to Patreon.com/PodCastyForMe to hear more for just $5 a month. Most movies weren't directed by Steven Soderbergh, but few were as notably not directed by Steven Soderbergh as this one: MONEYBALL, the true story of the 2002 Oakland Athletics' revolutionary sabermetrics-based hiring strategy, was 5 days from shooting when Sony pulled the plug on Soderbergh's version. After a rewrite by Aaron Sorkin and a few cast change-ups, a slicker, Fincher-lite version directed by Bennett Miller made it to theaters, and we're talking about the whole deal. This ep has it all, quite frankly: in-depth script revision analysis, baseball talk, sports politics, and a long conversation about how statistics and "disruption" inform the world. It turns out everything is Moneyball, maybe? Give this one a listen, folks. As always, thanks to Jetski for our theme music and to Jeremy Allison for our artwork.
